Industrial Castors Frequently Asked Questions

Provide loaded equipment weight, number of castors, required wheel diameter, mounting type, floor condition, operating speed, obstacles, temperature and chemicals. A safety factor should be considered for uneven load and impact.

Do not simply divide total weight by all installed castors. Industrial equipment may temporarily load fewer castors on uneven floors, so application conditions and a suitable safety factor must be reviewed.

Swivel castors change direction, fixed castors guide straight travel, and total brake castors normally lock wheel rotation and swivel movement. Many carts combine compatible swivel and fixed versions from one product group.

A tail brake describes a pedal arrangement on selected swivel castors. Central braking operates compatible castors through linked equipment control. A directional lock makes a swivel castor track in a fixed direction while engaged. Confirm the exact mechanism in the selected series.

Top plates provide a broad mounting surface for many industrial carts. Bolt-hole castors suit compact mounting positions. Confirm hole dimensions, plate size and available installation space.

Elastic rubber and TPR can support quieter travel and floor protection. Solid rubber is a durable general-purpose option. Polypropylene and nylon are harder and can offer low rolling resistance on suitable floors. Polyurethane often balances load, wear and rolling performance. Always compare the complete wheel construction.

Stainless steel brackets and compatible wheel, bearing, axle and brake materials are commonly considered. Confirm water, detergent, chemical and temperature exposure before selection.

Taishan offers relevant product categories. Exact temperature, electrical requirement, wheel diameter and rated load must be confirmed for model selection.

Samples can be discussed for suitable standard models. Provide the target model, application and expected bulk quantity.

MOQ depends on whether the model is standard, available, customized or requires special material and tooling.

Lead time depends on model availability, quantity, customization, packaging and the current production schedule. Confirm timing when requesting a quotation.

OEM feasibility depends on specifications and quantity. Send drawings, samples, target performance or existing model codes for technical review.

Drawings help evaluate dimensions, mounting, load and tooling. Final feasibility, tolerances, testing and commercial terms require engineering confirmation.

Inspection may include materials, dimensions, assembly, appearance, wheel rotation, swivel movement, braking, directional control and agreed load requirements.

Product pages provide parameter tables and model codes, and catalog files can be requested for broader series selection. Current certificates or reports are supplied only when applicable to the selected product and order.
