Antistatic Casters & Wheels

An antistatic caster uses electrically conductive wheels that let static charge dissipate to ground instead of building up. This protects sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge and prevents sparks in flammable or explosive atmospheres, keeping equipment grounded and safe.

Both dissipate static, but conductive wheels have lower electrical resistance, draining charge faster for the most demanding ESD and hazardous applications. Antistatic wheels dissipate charge more gradually. Choose conductive for strict ESD control and explosive atmospheres, antistatic for general static reduction.

In electronics manufacturing and ESD-controlled areas to protect circuit boards, and in environments with flammable vapors, gases, or combustible dust where a static spark could cause a fire or explosion. They are also used in cleanrooms and on sensitive instrument carts.

These range from about 50 to 2,750 lbs per caster depending on size and material, covering light electronics carts through heavier industrial equipment in hazardous areas. Divide your total load across all casters and add a safety margin.
