. What is heavy duty caster wheel
What kind of caster are heavy duty caster wheels?
Heavy-duty caster wheels are wheels designed for use in demanding applications that require the ability to support and transport heavy loads. These wheels are typically made from durable materials such as steel ,cast iron or high-quality synthetic compounds like PU, and they are designed to withstand high weight capacities and provide stability and durability.
Heavy-duty caster wheels are commonly used in industrial settings, including manufacturing plants, warehouses, and construction sites, where the ability to move heavy equipment or materials is necessary.
What we called heavy duty is about the loading capacity of the casters.
There are many different range of loading capacity for the caster wheel.Heavy duty casters are for weights of more than 2,000 lbs. Just remember that casters are rated for the weight capacity of each caster, whether swivel or rigid, and not for the entire set of casters.

Cast iron caster wheel should be used only when heavy load are needed and floor protection is not a factor. Its high strength withstands sharp impacts. Cast Iron wheels should not be used if noise is of major concern (it will noise while rolling on the hard floor) or if loads are fragile( hard cast iron can’t absorb the shocking while rolling, it can damage the fragile goods on it).
In oder to protect the ground which caster wheels run on,you’d better to choose PU on iron caster,PU is durable material and can resist to high loading.
