How Industrial Casters Prevent Your Cargo From Being Mishandled

By Gary Harris


The wheel is an important invention of man without it innovation to enhance our lives would be non existent. However it was not used to move carts or chariots, but it was made to help the potter creates valuable bowls and pottery. But long after that it became indispensable to the Greek and Romans because it was used in the wheel barrow and also on the chariot.

However in different industries where environments are dynamic and everything is extremely fast. That productivity and efficiency to reach the quota and destination on time has given the simple wheelbarrow to transition into the flat bodied four wheel cart. However even with the most reliable device on hand the foot is always the first to die out because of heavy usage and pressure. That is why most industry prefers to cut cost by purchasing industrial casters to replace broken wheels.

Casters or castors are a big part of life especially in many industries that require a simple yet effective device to make their life easier. A common knowledge that the wheel was invented by the prehistoric man. That is why in cave man cartoons there are carts fashioned into a car that uses stone wheels as tires and bare feet for breaking and speeding.

Imagine yourself being forced to work for a company who does not supply you with the needed tools. Not only do you have to find a way to get paid through ingenuous methods. But you will surely waste time and effort from an unsupportive environment.

And since then it has been developed over the ages to suit each epochs need. But even through all those changes nothing has been develop on how to prevent breakage. However proper usage helps to reduce repair work and increase long term usage by understanding these basic things.

Take for example a small bump. If you are carrying cargo weighed around a hundred pounds which are being pushed in a quick manner suddenly experiences a bump in the road. It jumps a little but did you know that every single jumping motion contributes a lot more weight on the wheels especially on impact.

This not only causes damage to the wheels but it could risk different kinds of damages and may even threaten another persons life. It would be very bad to find someone who works for you or yourself being hammered down by several heavy boxes. Not only does it risks your goods but also the life of another person.

Avoid these by paying close attention to a few rules. One of these are knowing the overload capacity. This refers to how much weight can the caster support. Though unavoidable that in the process of transferring cargo that uneven surfaces and bumps which serve as an obstacle for many of these are often the main cause of breakage.

Prevent this from happening by making sure to follow the appropriate weight for each castor. Then remember to adjust the bearing for the perfect motion. The incorrect bearing would make the range of motions wider than expected, so maneuvering the cart to a destination becomes harder to control because it wobbles and might turn in different directions at once instead of moving forward. It is moving left then right and vice versa, so avoid these traps and get it right.
