CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
In modern industrial equipment, medical devices, logistics and warehousing, and even everyday life, the design and performance of casters (casters) have a crucial impact on the safety, flexibility, and durability of equipment operation. Especially in terms of anti-slip performance, with the increasing complexity of transportation environments and increased load requirements, caster anti-skid design has become a key indicator for evaluating caster quality and professionalism. This article will comprehensively analyze the core advantages and design concepts of Giessen casters, including technical principles, material structure, application scenarios, testing standards, and the anti-slip innovations of Giessen casters.

During caster operation, insufficient ground friction often leads to slipping, skidding, or misalignment, especially on wet, oily, or slippery surfaces. These problems not only affect equipment stability but can also lead to operational safety accidents. Therefore, the primary goal of anti-slip design is to increase the coefficient of friction through structural and material optimization, ensuring that the caster maintains stable traction and rolling control under various surface conditions.
As a professional caster supplier, Giessen has introduced the concept of a "Multi-Layer Friction System" in its caster anti-slip design. This design concept emphasizes:
Increasing surface roughness in the contact layer;
Optimizing the shock-absorbing properties of the elastic material in the middle layer;
Enhancing the compressive stability of the overall structure in the support layer.
This multi-dimensional structure not only effectively prevents slipping but also maintains smooth rolling under high loads, significantly improving wear resistance and service life.
| Tread Types | Features | Applications |
| Horizontal Stripe | Improves linear rolling stability | Warehouse transport vehicles |
| Wave Pattern | Reduces noise and cushions impact | Commercial shopping carts |
| Twill Pattern | Prevents rotational slip | Industrial platform vehicles |
| Grid | Improves multi-directional friction | Medical equipment, laboratory benches |
Giessen caster anti-slip materials are primarily classified into three categories: thermoplastic rubber (TPR), polyurethane (PU), and natural rubber (NR). Each of the three materials has its own unique characteristics, and Giessen offers customized solutions based on the customer's application scenario.
| Material Type | Friction Coefficient | Wear Resistance | Noise Control | Applicable Environment |
| TPR Thermoplastic Rubber | Medium to High | High | Low Noise | Indoor Floors, Smooth Floors |
| PU Polyurethane | High | Very High | Medium | Industrial Equipment, Warehousing and Transportation |
| NR Natural Rubber | Very High | Medium | Excellent | Medical and Laboratory Environments |
Giessen casters utilize a "three-layer composite structure":
Contact Layer: Textured rubber or PU for increased floor friction;
Buffer Layer: Embedded with a highly elastic polymer material for shock absorption;
Support Layer: High-strength nylon or metal brackets for stable loads.
This structural design not only provides anti-slip performance but also effectively reduces wheel vibration and ground impact, significantly improving user comfort and equipment protection.
Giessen caster suppliers strictly adhere to international standards (such as ISO 22883 and EN 12527) for anti-slip performance testing. Testing items include:
Static coefficient of friction test;
Dynamic slip distance test;
Wet surface simulation test;
Repeated load durability test.
Tests show that Giessen anti-slip casters maintain a coefficient of friction above 0.65 on smooth floors, exceeding the industry average (0.45-0.5).
In hospitals and laboratories, floors are often smooth and contain residual liquids. Caster slippage can cause equipment to shift or even cause accidents. Giessen medical-grade anti-slip casters are made of silent TPR material and feature an optimized anti-slip texture, effectively ensuring the stable movement of medical carts and testing equipment.
Industrial workshop floors are often oily, dusty, or uneven. Giessen's PU non-slip casters are oil-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and offer high load-bearing properties, ensuring smooth operation of trucks in high-friction environments.
Warehouse logistics equipment (such as racking carts and pallet trucks) frequently starts and stops, and caster slippage can affect transport efficiency. Giessen's high-grip tread design improves maneuvering precision and braking stability.
These environments require clean, non-slip, and easily disinfected floors. Giessen uses antibacterial PU non-slip casters to prevent bacterial growth while ensuring stable operation in slippery conditions.
Giessen has introduced a material system with dynamic friction response properties that automatically adjusts its surface microstructure based on ground pressure, enhancing adhesion. This technology enables the casters to automatically "grip" on slippery surfaces, significantly reducing slippage.
Anti-slip performance and quietness often conflict in design. Giessen achieves a balance between anti-slip and quietness by adjusting the tread corrugation and material hardness gradient, ensuring smooth rolling while maintaining low noise output.
Giessen casters offer OEM/ODM customization services to customers worldwide. Users can choose different anti-slip levels, material hardness, texture designs, and load parameters based on the application scenario to meet the needs of specific working conditions (such as low-temperature warehouses, cleanrooms, and wet docks).
Clean the tread regularly to prevent oil or dust from covering the anti-slip texture;
Inspect the material hardening every three months and replace it promptly if it shows signs of aging;
Avoid overloading to prevent compression and deformation of the anti-slip layer;
Lubricate the bearing system to maintain smooth rolling;
Select the caster based on the ground conditions to avoid performance degradation caused by mismatch.
The anti-slip design of Giessen casters not only demonstrates high-end manufacturing craftsmanship but also significantly improves safety, stability, and durability for users. Through scientific structural design, high-quality material selection, and rigorous performance testing, Giessen has successfully developed a series of professional-grade anti-slip caster solutions suitable for a wide range of industries and scenarios.
