Finding the Right Shopping Cart Wheels for Your Needs

Although they’re small, shopping cart wheels do play a big role in the economy. Every cart that’s being pushed around the malls and big box stores carrying goods to the checkout is rolling on these tiny engines of commerce.

At Access Casters Inc., our specialty is wheels for shopping carts and casters for a range of other uses. We’re going to use this blog to tell you what to look for when you are in the market for shopping cart wheels for your business.

First of all, you want to get durable wheels. You don’t want to have to keep replacing them frequently. That would be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to your business. Also, make sure the wheels you choose have a robust capacity and can handle heavy loads.

Make sure you purchase wheels with high-quality bearings, so the wheels roll smoothly and all in the same direction at the same time. We all understand how frustrating it is to get a cart with a wonky wheel, and no one wants that.

Your final consideration is to get wheels with threaded stems. These are easy to install and replace when they eventually wear out. It won’t happen often, but it will, and it’s better to make it a quick chore than a difficult one.
