Spring Loaded Casters Handle Stress Without Duress.
When transporting valuable or delicate cargo, your casters’ condition can significantly impact your load’s safety and condition. That’s where Aerol’s spring-loaded casters come in. Designed to protect your payload and streamline your operations, these casters offer a range of benefits that set them apart from conventional options.
Why Choose Shock Absorbing Casters?
- Smoother Rides: Our casters absorb impact and minimize load movement, ensuring a smoother ride over uneven indoor and outdoor surfaces. This helps protect your cargo from damage and reduces wear and tear on equipment.
- Improved Directional Control: Traditional casters can struggle on uneven terrain, causing them to veer off course. Aerol’s shock-absorbing casters maintain contact with the floor, allowing for straighter, faster towing, which is especially beneficial in large facilities and airports.
- Adaptability: Our casters can retract when rolling over bumps, allowing the stand’s legs to provide a stable foundation. This versatility makes them suitable for various applications.
- Reduced Downtime: Unlike pneumatic tires, our spring-loaded casters require minimal maintenance and won’t go flat. This means less downtime and increased productivity.
- Quieter Operation: By minimizing vibration, our casters create a quieter work environment, enhancing comfort and productivity.
Aerol offers custom-engineered casters with springs precisely calibrated to your load weight for maximum shock absorption. Proper spring selection is crucial; undersized springs can increase vibration, noise, and potential damage, while overly soft springs may offer minimal shock protection. Accurately determining your load weight is essential for optimal performance. If you need assistance selecting the right caster, consult with your Aerol representative.
Directional integrity over uneven surfaces.
When a conventional caster goes over an uneven surface, it cannot move up or down to surface height, causing varying forces to be applied to the caster. Consequently, the caster may swivel from its straight-line travel, causing uneven pull and decreased transport speed. Shock-absorbing casters, however, move vertically to compensate for uneven floor surfaces, allowing the wheel to continue in a straight line since it remains in contact with the floor at all times. This allows for faster and longer towing capabilities, which is important in airports and large manufacturing facilities.
Aluminum vs. Steel: Which is Right for You?
Aerol offers both aluminum and steel spring-loaded casters, each with its own advantages:
Aluminum Casters:
- Lightweight
- Corrosion-resistant
- Spark-resistant
- Quieter operation
Steel Casters:
- Stronger
- Can handle heavier loads
- More cost-effective
