Storage shelves play a vital role in modern logistics and warehousing systems, and the choice of casters directly affects the stability and load-bearing capacity of the shelves. In this article, we will analyze in detail the stability and load-bearing capacity of casters in storage shelves, and provide some suggestions for selecting and maintaining casters.
Fixed casters: Usually installed on the four corners of the shelf, providing higher stability and load-bearing capacity.
Swivel casters: Allow the shelf to rotate freely, suitable for shelves that need to be moved frequently.
Brake casters: With a locking function, it can ensure that the shelf remains stationary when needed.
Material selection: The material of the caster directly affects its stability and durability. Common materials include polyurethane, rubber and nylon.
Installation method: The correct installation method can increase the stability of the caster and reduce the risk of tilting and moving the shelf.
Caster diameter: A larger diameter can provide better stability and passability, suitable for heavy-duty shelves.
Load-bearing capacity of a single caster: The appropriate caster should be selected according to the total weight of the shelf, and the load-bearing capacity of each caster should be greater than one-fourth of the total weight of the shelf.
Load-bearing capacity of a combination of multiple casters: When multiple casters are combined, the load-bearing capacity is not just the sum of the load-bearing capacities of individual casters, but also the balance and distribution of the shelf.
Choose according to weight: Heavy shelves should choose casters with high load-bearing capacity, such as cast iron or steel casters.
Choose according to ground conditions: On flat ground, rubber casters have better mute and shock absorption effects; on uneven ground, nylon casters are more durable.
Choose according to the use environment: If used in a humid environment, casters made of rust-proof materials should be selected.
Regular inspection: Check the wear of the casters once a month and replace the casters with severe wear in time.
Lubrication and maintenance: Add lubricating oil to the caster bearings regularly to ensure that they can rotate flexibly.
Cleaning and maintenance: Keep the casters clean to prevent dust and debris from affecting their rotation and stability.
