In this article, we will walk you through essential considerations when choosing between zinc and stainless casters, selecting the right wheel materials, and understanding the washdown resilience of our casters.

Zinc or Stainless: Which to Choose?

When it comes to choosing between zinc and stainless casters, it's crucial to evaluate your operational environment and requirements. Here's a brief overview:

  • Zinc Casters: Zinc-plated casters are cost-effective and offer good corrosion resistance. They are suitable for indoor or dry environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals is limited.
  • Stainless Casters: Stainless steel casters are highly corrosion-resistant and ideal for wet or corrosive environments, including food service, healthcare, and marine applications. They are easy to clean and maintain.

Choosing the Right Wheel Materials

The choice of wheel materials is critical to caster performance. Consider the following factors when making your selection:

  • Hardness: The hardness of the wheel material affects its load-bearing capacity and resistance to wear. Select the appropriate hardness for your load and flooring type.
  • Tread Material: The tread material influences floor protection, noise level, and traction. Common tread materials include rubber, polyurethane, and nylon.
  • Chemical Resistance: If your environment involves exposure to chemicals or oils, choose wheel materials that are chemically resistant to prevent damage and deterioration.

Understanding Washdown Resilience

For industries like food service and healthcare, washdown resilience is crucial. Our casters are designed to withstand regular cleaning and sanitization processes, ensuring a hygienic and safe environment. Look for casters with sealed bearings and stainless steel components for optimal washdown resilience.
