The different types of castor wheels
Castor wheels come in various types, each designed for specific applications and environments. Here are some common types:
1. **Rigid Castor Wheels**: These wheels can only move in a straight line. They are ideal for heavy loads and provide stability, commonly used for equipment that doesn’t require maneuverability.
2. **Swivel Castor Wheels**: These wheels can rotate 360 degrees, allowing for greater maneuverability. They are often used in shopping carts, office chairs, and furniture.
3. **Locking Castor Wheels**: These wheels have a locking mechanism that allows them to be fixed in place. They can be either rigid or swivel and are useful for preventing unwanted movement.
4. **Braked Castor Wheels**: Similar to locking castors, these have a brake applied directly to the wheel to keep it stationary. They are often used in medical carts and heavy-duty applications.
5. **Industrial Castor Wheels**: Made from robust materials to withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions, these wheels are commonly found in factories and warehouses.
6. **Rubber Castor Wheels**: These wheels provide a smooth, quiet ride and are suitable for delicate flooring. They absorb shock and vibrations, making them ideal for furniture and equipment.
7. **Polyurethane Castor Wheels**: Known for their durability and resistance to abrasion, these wheels are often used in industrial settings. They offer good floor protection and can handle heavy loads.
8. **Metal Castor Wheels**: These wheels are used in heavy-duty applications where strength and stability are important. They are typically found in moving equipment.
9. **Polypropylene Castor Wheels**: Resistant to chemicals and easy to clean, these are often used in food service and medical environments.
10. **Specialty Castor Wheels**: These can include designs for specific tasks, like anti-static wheels for electronics or outdoor wheels designed for rough terrains.
When selecting castor wheels, consider factors such as load capacity, floor surface, environment (indoor vs. outdoor), and the required level of movement (fixed vs. swivel). Do you have a specific application in mind for these castor wheels?

Casters fall into many different categories: light duty casters, medium duty caster, heavy duty caster, super heavy-duty caster. If classify by the material of the caster wheels, there are PU caster (polyurethane caster wheel), nylon caster wheel (PA caster wheel), rubber caster wheel, cast iron caster wheel etc.
As so many different types of caster wheel available in the market, it is difficult for user to choose the right caster for their needs.
Now we introduces some tips on Choosing the Right Caster or Caster Wheel
Firstly, you have to check which the factor is most import for you :
1. Load Weight
2. application on special floor Conditions
3. Noise during working
4. Extreme Climates (working environment)
5. Rolling Ease
6. mounted
(1)If you need to load heavy goods, we suggest to choose heavy duty caster made of PU, nylon or cast iron, rubber caster is not suggested, because the higher the load weight, the larger and more dense the wheel required.6 inches wheel or above 6 inches(8”,10”,12”,16”) is suggested.
(2) if you need to prevent any damage to the working floor, PU wheel and rubber wheel is suggest. Plastic furniture casters move well on carpet but they are light-duty casters and can’t carry large loads . Use large casters if you have to drive over cables. Four swiveling wheels provide the most maneuverability. If you have two swivel and two fixed wheels, you will still have problems moving the casters in some directions. Use casters with locking wheels to keep the unit from rolling.
(3)If you need silent caster (without making big noise),It is better to choose rubber caster or TPA caster wheel, nylon wheel & iron wheel is not suggested.
(4) if you need those caster working in extreme hot or cold environment, you can choose the heat resistant caster in hot environment.
(5)If you need wheels rolling easily ,nylon wheel is suggested if working on hard flooring. The larger the wheel diameter, and the harder the wheel material, the easier the wheel will roll. Choose the right size of the wheel can make your work more easy. Roller bearings carry heavier loads. Ball bearings roll easier but carry lesser loads. Rolling ease is also affected by environmental and application conditions.
(6) Most shop equipment casters are plate-mounted. Light-duty, inexpensive plastic shop casters that do not swivel are hard to maneuver around corners. They do not roll over electrical cords. It is possible to purchase swiveling shop casters — but that type still won’t roll over electrical cord
