As outlined by Caster Concepts in the article “Types of Caster Wheels,” selecting the right caster wheel type can dramatically impact mobility, safety, and long-term performance in any environment—from industrial floors to delicate handling applications. Whether you’re outfitting furniture or heavy-duty manufacturing carts, understanding caster wheel design is crucial.
The article highlights a wide variety of caster designs and configurations, each suited for specific use cases. Kingpin casters, featuring both thrust and load bearings, are the standard for heavy-duty industrial applications where swivel tension control is necessary. On the other hand, kingpinless casters are known for their durability under rugged conditions and offer lower maintenance costs while maintaining smooth swivel performance under load—ideal for shock-prone settings.
