What kinds of casters are available and how are they used?
Two categories of casters are available. Your application will determine if insert casters or bolt-on casters are appropriate. Insert casters are generally used when the cart’s capacity is less than 300 pounds. Consider YGR series for such applications. Creform insert casters are often praised for their quick and easy installation. Bolt-on casters are generally used when the cart’s capacity is above 300 pounds. When using bolt-on casters, there are design considerations and mounting hardware to include. Please contact Creform for associated resource documents. The choice of caster should be made based on load, weight of the structure itself, frequency of use, floor surface, noise considerations and investment. The Creform sales staff will be glad to help you select the appropriate caster for your application.
