I was just thinking. You mentioned a swivel caster that had a locking system that locked the wheel and the swivel simultaneously, but I was wondering if it's possible to have one that gives the option to lock the wheel and swivel independently. That way you can lock the swivel to pull a long distance, then unlock it when you need it to swivel again.

Buy the way this weight will be stored on this dolly and casters for months maybe years? What would you recommend? Great video. Thanks
@CasterHQ
5 жыл бұрын
Hi Doug, If they are rolled on asphalt driveways I would recommend a Thermo Plastic Rubber Wheel but you won't be able to get the full 1,000 lbs capacity out of these and if those sit with weight for long periods they could flat spot. The only wheel that would work best with this much weight sitting on them for long periods would have to be a harder durometer wheel like a plastic or nylon wheel. Checkout our low profile casters. These might be a good option since they will not flat spot and they will hold a lot of weight. www.casterhq.com/3InchLoProCasterPlate-p/03po30ib3606yz.htm

I would go with a Thermo Rubber Wheel it’s a gray non marking thermo engineered rubber. Doesn’t leave streaks, soft to absorb shock, very quiet, and is great on all of those floor types especially floor protective on epoxy. We have them in all sizes light duty as well as medium/heavy duty. As far as bearings go, there is always going to be some play and movement/noise in a roller bearing, if this is an issue I’d always recommend going with a precision ball bearing which is also an upgrade you can choose on our website when ordering casters, reach out to us at info@casterhq.com or call us at 844-439-4335 and we will help you more.

Air filled tires would require alot more maintenance and could flat spot with the maximum weight sitting on these casters. You could do a mold on rubber wheel which would be a good choice for outside and it would allow a direct replacement swap of the wheel and since I have those wheels in the same size.

Harder wheel materials such as phenolic wheels, steel wheels, polyolefin wheels, and polyurethane on steel wheels are great for long periods of stationary use without developing flat spots.

For restaurant kitchens with slightly oily floors and loads of 250-300kg per wheel, thermoplastic rubber (TPR) wheels are ideal due to their oil resistance and smooth operation. A 6" wheel is recommended for better maneuverability and ease of movement over floor imperfections, enhancing cart handling under heavy loads.

Hi George, If you are moving your cart outside frequently I would recommend a mold on rubber caster since it has a thick rubber tread that will help absorb shock and vibrations. View the link below, select a diameter and the combination. I would say two swivels and two rigid casters would be your best bet. The larger the wheel, the easier it will be to roll. www.casterhq.com/MoldonRubberCasters-s/270.htm

@CasterHQ

So the Thermo Plastic Rubber has a softer tread but little less weight capacity, both are non marking. Polyurethane has a slightly harder durometer tread and higher weight capacity, non marking as well but isn't as quiet as a Thermo rubber wheel. It all depends on your application. If you are using these outdoors or in a shop with debris on the ground the rubber wheels are much better at rolling over debris without getting stuck. Polyurethane will sometimes get stuck on debris on the floor. Thank you, Jordan Wilson CasterHQ

That have 4 1/2" x 4" top plates. Im wondering if there is an adapter or a plate i can use to install these much larger casters onto my Hessaire swamp cooler? While its in the shop, its fine with what it has on it. But, i have to walk over to a hose thats roughly 60 yds away, over old nasty black top that is very rough.

Hi Scott, so it seems your plate is a lighter duty version since it’s smaller. Since your box is made for a smaller plate you can either return what you ordered and we can set you up with a nice wheel with a matching mounting plate. Or you can look into welding some of our caster pads onto the current section where your casters would go and it will allow you to use your larger casters. Please checkout the link below so you can see what a caster pad is. www.casterhq.com/caster-pad-p/cb-qccp4.htm

Long story short. Top plate - "2-7/8" x "3-1/4" Max load is 200 lbs. The swamp vooler holds 16 gallons of water. So it will never weigh more than 200 lbs. I go across nasty old rutted/diveted black top to get to the hose to fill it. So, i want casters that can fit my swamp cooler. And are good on very rough cement/black top. So im not spilling alot of the water when rolling it back. I was thinking polyurethane, but those r like rollerblade wheels rite? They may be slightly better than what i currently have? I think i want rubber, not the air up ones. With the correct top plate. Do u guys carry something like this? Or can u custom make them? I would be happy to remove one of my casters that fit it, trace it including holes. And mail it to u guys, or take pictures next to a measuring tape. And the size of the tire honestly doesnt matter. They currently have 5" wheels. But if they r bigger thats fine. The swamp cooler is short. The height doesnt really matter. I was thinking i want 6+" wheels. Up to 10"

Hi Terry, It depends on the overall height of the burial vaults you are moving. If you don't mind them being sort of high I would recommend either a 6" or 8" diameter caster wheel because the larger the wheel the easier it is to roll. If the concrete is smooth concrete with zero debris I would say a steel wheel would be the easiest for you to roll this type of weight. If you want floor protection I would recommend a polyurethane on cast iron wheel. Please checkout both links below, and you can make a decision based on my points above.

Hi Bobby, Yes Pneumatic Caster Wheels can definitely be used on a yard cart. In fact, many outdoor carts including the gorilla cart comes with air filled pneumatic tires but those do run on a shaft. If you want to build your own cart I recommend having 2 fixed pneumatic casters in the back and 2 swivel pneumatic casters in the front. This will allow the cart to roll better in straight lines and maneuver much easier than having all swivel.
