I have rough floors — what is the best wheel to use under these circumstances?
Rough floors are compensated for in two ways. First the larger the diameter wheel, the easier it will travel over rough floors, or outdoor surfaces. The other major contributing factor for rough floors is the use of a resilient tire material. Resilient materials are those, which will flex, absorb shock and then regain their normal shape. Polyurethane wheels are excellent for this purpose. Mold on rubber is also a good choice; however, rubber will not carry the same amount of weight.

A: Towing speed is a factor of the load being carried and gross weight. The issue with towing speed is heat build up in the tire of the caster wheel. Heat build up will cause premature tire failure. In most cases we suggest a 10% reduction in capacity for every mile per hour over 3 mph. Please contact our sales/e
