To select the right casters it is important and incredibly useful to be clear about how the piece of furniture will be used. There are basically three types of casters when it comes to wheels.
Wheels Casters
The first is single wheels, secondly dual wheels and the third are ball wheels. These are listed in order of popularity with ball wheels now considered old fashioned and dated. People now prefer to use minimalist wheels which are less visible. The weight carrying limit is also crucial as this will dictate how much weight can be transported using the specific wheels. When measuring the weight it is important to consider the complete weight of both the piece of furniture and also its contents. For example, if you are using casters on a chest of drawers it is important to include the weight of the clothes and other contents of the drawers.
Single wheeled casters are commonly used for light pieces of furniture. They are made from strong material and high quality rubber to ensure they last longer. For heavy furniture or for heavy contents the best option is to use a dual wheel. This type of wheel spreads the weight across a larger surface area of the wheel and also uses more rolling surface from which to create momentum with which to the move furniture.
Caster can also be made from different materials such as metal, plastic or rubber. Metal caster should only be used on hardwearing surfaces such as tile or concrete. An anything lighter such as wood or carpets you should use either plastic or rubber. Rubber is the preferred option however this may have less grip requiring you to apply more force in order to move the object or furniture.
In summary, there are different types of caster wheels and it can be a challenging task to ensure you have the correct caster. However, by using the information above and make sensible decisions you can select the right casters for the purposes you need.
