Why You Should Invest in Swivel Wheels

 
Caster wheels typically come in your choice of rigid or swivel wheels. If you aren’t sure what you are looking for, it can be challenging to decide which type is the right choice for you. That is why we want to help you figure out if you are in the market for swivel wheels or not.

If you are working in a tight space or another environment where greater maneuverability is required, then you are going to want to invest in swivels instead of rigid wheels. This is because the swivel casters are able to rotate 360-degrees and can respond immediately to changes in direction. That means, even in the most cramped conditions you will be able to move your load much easier than with other types of wheels.

Swivel wheels work thanks to ball bearings that keep the wheel turning even under heavy loads. While this mobility is excellent, it should be noted that loads on swivel casters do require a bit more effort to set into motion than with rigid casters. So it is essential to consider which is more important to you—ease of mobility or ease of movability. Once you have figured that out, you can find the right wheels to meet your needs.
