They fulfil all requirements for high maneuvrability of the respective appliances as well as for maximum smooth rolling performance at low rolling resistances.
Typical application areas are medical equipment,display bases,equipment for large-scale catering establishments,etc.
Wheels and casters for transport equipment:

Transport equipment wheels and casters are insensitive to environmental influences,largely maintenance-free and run trouble-free over a long period of time.
Heavy duty wheels and casters:
Heavy duty wheels and casters are used in application areas with heavy loads and/or higher travelling speeds.
They have a much sturdier design.To move extremely heavy loads,two-wheel casters are aslo used(twin wheel casters). For vibration free transport spring loaded casterss are particularly suitable.
Typical application areas are storage and industrial trucks,assembly and transport systems,etc.
