Wheel Casters

Wheel casters are the casters normally used for the office furniture namely the chairs. Caster Wheels include rubber, phenolic, polyolefin, steel, polyurethane, v-groove etc. The caster wheels can also be used as replacements for the current casters if any of them are damaged.

There are many twin wheel casters available in the market with wheel diameters upto 125 mm. All of them vary in style and the materials used. They provide economic and durable solutions to medical equipments, store fixture displays and furniture. These casters can hold a capacity of 30 to 150 pounds of load. The materials like Zinc Die Cast and Nylon used in its construction provides both style and performance. These two features can be achieved even when appearance along with mobility and stability are crucial.

These caster wheels differ in the material types used and some of the important and mainly used casters are as follows;
