At Access Casters Inc., there are various styles of swivel casters for every material handling situation and a wide variety of wheel sizes, materials, designs, and capacities from which customers may choose. With all the possible configurations, selecting the right swivel casters for your work environment often boils down to a few fundamental considerations:
- How much space do I have to maneuver?
- How often will I need to move the materials?
- Over how far a distance do I need to move the materials?
- How much weight do I need to move?
Swivel Wheel Casters Can Turn on a Dime
When you’re working in confined or tight spaces or other environments where flexibility and maneuverability are required, swivel casters are the way to go. Swivel casters can rotate 360° and can respond nimbly to changes in direction. These casters swivel on ball bearings that help keep the wheel turning even under heavy loads. Loads on swivel casters can take more effort to set in motion than rigid casters because it takes a stronger push to get all four wheels pointed in the same direction before the cart or truck will roll. Additionally, because it can be quite challenging for a truck or cart with all swivel casters to roll in a straight line, this configuration is typically used to travel short distances.
