RoHS Compliant Casters

It means the caster is manufactured without the hazardous substances restricted by the RoHS directive, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. RoHS compliant casters are suitable for electronics, EU export, and equipment that must meet environmental compliance standards.

You do if your equipment contains electronics, ships to the European Union, or must meet RoHS environmental standards. The casters are part of the product, so they must be compliant too. For unregulated domestic equipment, RoHS compliance may not be required.

No. RoHS compliance is about the materials used, not the performance. RoHS compliant casters roll, carry load, and last just like standard casters; they simply omit the restricted hazardous substances. You get the same function with regulatory compliance.

These range from about 80 to 3,500 lbs per caster depending on size and material, covering light electronics carts through heavier compliant equipment. Divide your total load across all casters and add a safety margin.

If your equipment contains electronics, ships to the European Union, or must meet environmental compliance standards, the casters need to be RoHS compliant along with everything else. RoHS compliant casters are manufactured without lead, mercury, cadmium, and other restricted substances, so they pass compliance audits and avoid regulatory issues. Choosing RoHS casters keeps your whole product or equipment compliant from the wheels up.

RoHS compliant casters in this collection carry 80 to 3,500 lbs per caster across a range of wheel sizes, in rubber, composite, and polyurethane. From light electronics carts to heavier compliant equipment, the range covers most needs. Swivel, rigid, and brake versions let you build a fully RoHS compliant set for regulated equipment and EU-bound products.
