Buying tips

When selecting ball casters for industrial use, consider load capacity, wheel material, stem type, and environment (e.g., wet or corrosive). For heavy loads, choose steel or forged models; for light-duty, plastic or stainless steel options are sufficient. Ensure the caster's mounting matches your equipment. Brakes and leveling features add cost but improve safety and stability.
