Toe Guard
Often used as a safety device, Aerol toe guards are mounted ½” off the floor. This enables casters to move easily on many types of floors while maintaining a solid barrier between personnel and obstacles within manufacturing environments.
Aerol has a large variety of casters, all of which can be specified with toe guards. Toe guards are typically installed on casters during production. Toe guards can retroactively be specified for an existing caster. Custom toe guards can be designed to include custom floor height clearances, color, and material construction based on your application.

Accessories
Aerol has a wide variety of caster options. Many of these not only improve function – but also provide safety and add longevity to the product. When considering safety options, the most common consideration would be caster swivel locks, floor locks, and aluminum or steel pedal foot brakes.
Other options include clean room certified casters that do not emit gasses, are non-marking, and sealed so grease will not leak out, In addition, non-magnetic and spark proof casters are ideal for companies that make black powder, explosives, or fireworks.
