The castor material determines the properties

Comparison of different materials for transport equipment castors

The properties of the most common castor materials for transport equipment castors differ even more. The properties of polyamide and solid rubber, for example, differ widely with regard to all parameters. Polyamide is usually the best choice for transporting heavy loads or when the equipment is moved on hard-wearing floors – however, if the floors are uneven, the noise of the moving wheels may quickly increase. With sensitive floors and lower loads, polyurethane meets the requirements and at the same time offers extremely floor-friendly properties.

Beyond the interactions mentioned here, other factors also play a role. We will be happy to provide further information.
