The component of industrial casters

Brakes and Swivel Locks are common add on's for industrial casters, each option offers additional benefits to a traditional caster.

swivel caster

Brakes when engaged, keep the wheels from turning on the caster
Swivel Locks convert a swivel caster into a rigid caster but add the benefit of locking the rigid at additional angles (versus the standard 180* angle of a rigid caster)
Both brakes and swivel locks also add safety benefits
Brakes ensure that the cart or rack will not roll away or move when unattended, especially if the unit is being unloaded manually
Swivel Locks make it easier to control the cart or rack when rolling and can be used to ensure wheels stay perfectly parallel when a cart is parked (this is beneficial because it requires greater force to start rolling a cart when the wheels are parallel).

Small caster wheels  makes people's lives more convenient. Such as self-propelling. Meet the Cowarobot R1, a motorized carry-on that brings new meaning to the term “travel buddy.” Like man’s best friend, it follows you faithfully at arm's length wherever you go—no hands required—by tracking your movement through a wristband you can customize via smartphone app. It also doubles as a portable USB charger for your smartphone or tablet. Thanks to the suitcase's all-terrain retractable wheels, which work similar to aircraft landing gear. An inbound motor propels the suitcase forward, it has a follow rate of up to 4.5 mph and can climb slopes up to 15 degrees. Multiple sensors keep it from slamming into stuff or toppling down stairs. Plus, its built-in GPS not only helps you find it if it gets lost; it can also find you—rolling to you from across the room up to 164 feet away. Here, boy! Once again, further proof that wheels make everything better. And we provide  nyl...

7 Advantages of Polyurethane Wheels

Polyurethane when used to manufacture tires provides several key advantages like: 1. Resistant to sunlight, oxygen, ozone, and several other environmental factors. 2. Resistant to damage caused by abrasive chemicals. 3. Resistant to cuts and tears making it extremely durable. 4. In the same conditions as other materials, polyurethane wears at a slower rate making it more long lasting. 5. This material has higher tensile strength allowing it to carry heavier loads. 6. Since polyurethane is produced chemically, a number of variations are possible. The density and physical characteristics of the material can be modified according to the end use. 7. Polyurethane has excellent elastic memory. The flexibility offered by the material allows it to be used in several applications where plastic will fall short. Because of all the reasons listed above, polyurethane has become the preferred material in industrial as well as commercial applications. Since  polyurethane caster ...
