Casters are of different type like rolling castors, rubber castors, shepherd castors, pallet castors and many more. A polyurethane caster is one of them. Polyurethane casters are superior to rubber casters.

In polyurethane casters, polypropylene hub is molded by polyurethane wheel with oil-less bearing. These casters have a wide variety of applications such as in quite operations, high corrosion resistance and a high wear factor. They are used in number of applications offered in number for configurations.

Polyurethane wheels are used in fixed or swivel frames forming polyurethane casters. Rigid polyurethane casters can move only in forward or backward direction. At the same time, swivel framed polyurethane casters can rotate in all directions. They offer wide variety of commercial as well as industrial applications.

Polyurethane material is applied in the production of polyurethane tires, polyurethane iron core wheels and polyurethane aluminum core wheels. Thus these wheels are used in casters called as polyurethane casters. Furniture casters are of this type. Extra feature added to polyurethane casters is a break. All polyurethane castors don't have break. The break inserted in polyurethane caster avoids the possible accidents and risks.

The caster frame that forms outer part of the polyurethane caster can be of steel, aluminum or iron. The wheels used for a polyurethane caster may come in variety of colors. Some polyurethane casters are with iron core wheel and some of them use plastic core wheel.

To order a polyurethane caster from a company, you have to select wheel type, determine load capacity and determine load diameter.

While selecting a wheel type of a polyurethane caster, you must consider total weight of the load, floor condition, impact resistance and noise level desired. You should also keep in mind the factors like environmental conditions and exposure to chemicals.

Determination of load capacity of a polyurethane caster depends on the applications, floor condition, load weight and predicted frequency of applications.

Deciding wheel diameter is also a crucial part in the process of selecting a polyurethane caster. The wheels with greater diameter are able to move heavier load capacity easily and comfortably. Hence, choose an appropriate combination of wheel type and wheel diameter for a polyurethane caster.
