Don’t Let Weight Distribution Cost You More

Casters are built to roll smoothly, but when weight isn’t evenly distributed, even the toughest wheels can fail. Uneven loads lead to faster wear, damaged flooring, and potential safety hazards. It's not just about how much weight you move—it's how you move it.

The Problem with Uneven Loads
When one caster in a set bears more weight than the others, it creates stress points. This causes premature wheel degradation, mounting plate fatigue, and even structural damage to the object being moved. The result? More frequent replacements and costly repairs.

How to Spot Trouble Early

• One wheel looks more worn than the others

• Your cart tilts or wobbles during movement

• Casters leave marks or indentations on the floor

How to Prevent It

• Choose casters with a load rating that exceeds your total weight requirements (by 25–30%)

• Ensure your equipment has a level base

• Distribute cargo evenly when loading

• Consider shock-absorbing or spring-loaded casters for dynamic loads
