Choosing industrial caster wheels according to temperature extremes

You can choose industrial caster wheels via environment protection.

If you have a high-temperature environment, check the temperature rating for any industrial casters you purchase with rubber, phenolic, or polyurethane wheels. When these materials are subjected to higher temps, they often lose their rigidity, begin to flatten out, and “set” into your floor.

The type of bearing you select is also important in extreme temperatures. If the bearing is not sealed in a high-temp environment, the grease can leak out. This leads to excessive wear on the caster over time.

In similar fashion, check the freezer rating for your industrial caster wheels. You'll want something that will still easily roll despite the low temperature, and special lubricants may be required.
