Casters
Casters are essential components for mobility and efficiency in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. At OneMonroe, we offer a wide range of high-quality casters designed to meet the demands of various environments, from heavy-duty industrial settings to precision medical equipment. Our casters are available in multiple materials, sizes, and load capacities, ensuring optimal performance, durability, and ease of movement for any application.
Whether you need swivel casters for enhanced maneuverability, rigid casters for straight-line stability, or specialty casters for unique applications, OneMonroe has the solution. Our selection includes options with different wheel materials, mounting styles, and braking mechanisms to suit specific requirements. Explore our range of casters to find the perfect fit for your project, backed by our engineering expertise and commitment to quality.
Casters
- Bearing Type: Plain bearings are simple and cost effective. Ball bearings provide smoother rolling and higher load capacity, while roller bearings offer the highest load capacity and durability.
- Brake Type: Brake types include Total Lock Brake (locks wheel and swivel), Directional Lock Brake (locks rotation), and hand operated brakes.
- Caster Frame Material: Steel, stainless steel, or plastic frames affect strength and durability.
- Environmental Considerations: Includes temperature, chemical exposure, and floor type to avoid damage or wear.
- Height and Offset: Height affects the overall height of the equipment. Offset affects maneuverability and load distribution.
- Load Capacity: Each caster is rated for a specific load. It is important to ensure the caster can support the total weight of the equipment.
- Locking Mechanisms: Features for locking or stabilizing are crucial for safety and security.
- Mounting Type: Casters can be plate mounted (screwed or bolted), stem mounted (fitted into a socket), or threaded stem mounted (screwed into a threaded socket).
- Noise Level: Some casters are designed for quiet operation, important in noise sensitive environments.
- Swivel vs. Rigid: Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for maneuverability, while rigid casters roll straight for stability.
- Wheel Size and Material: The wheel’s diameter affects load capacity and maneuverability. Materials like rubber, polyurethane, nylon, and metal affect durability and performance on different surfaces.
- Wheel Tread: The tread design impacts traction, floor protection, and noise levels. Options include solid, cushioned, and pneumatic (air filled) treads.
