Industrial Castor Load Capacity: What Buyers Should Calculate
Why total equipment weight, uneven floors, impact and safety factors matter when selecting industrial castor capacity.
Total Weight Is Only the Starting Point
Add equipment weight and maximum carried load. The result should not automatically be divided by every installed castor because floors and frames may distribute weight unevenly.
Consider Fewer Load-Bearing Castors
Depending on the equipment and floor, one castor may temporarily lose contact. Selection should consider the number of castors that realistically carry the load.
Add Application Factors
Speed, impact, obstacles, towing, temperature and continuous operation affect the required capacity. Ask the manufacturer to review these conditions.
