We all know that we have seen a lot of casters, large and small, in our lives. Whether in the factory, in the office, or even at home, we are dealing with these wheels. Casters can be divided into two categories: movable casters and fixed casters, and these two categories cooperate with each other and shuttle in our lives; if you observe carefully, you will notice that the movable casters sometimes appear alone, and the fixed casters also sometimes appear alone. It is also common for two types of casters to appear at the same time. So this shows that fixation and activities cooperate with each other. The matching ratio of the casters when they cooperate with each other also affects the use in daily life to a certain extent.
4 movable casters:
Due to the 4 movable casters, the direction can be changed freely in a small space. However, when carrying heavy objects, if the road surface is inclined, the operation will become difficult, which is not conducive to long-distance transportation of heavy objects.
Movable casters
2 movable casters + 2 fixed casters:
In general, when the trolley is assembled with movable wheels, it can be easily selected with little force, which is very convenient. However, it also has its advantages when a movable wheel is installed in the front of the trolley, and the operation performance is good. If it is a light and heavy trolley, considering the operability, it is suitable for front assembly of movable wheels. Medium and heavy trolleys are equipped with casters. The general combination is to install movable casters at the rear.
Movable fixed casters
2 movable casters + 2 fixed casters:
The fixed caster is set in the center and can rotate freely in a small space, and if a caster with a larger diameter than the movable wheel is installed, the trolley will become a balance and can rotate more easily.
Fixed movable casters
4 movable casters + 2 fixed casters:
The fixed caster is set in the center and can rotate freely in a small space. If a caster with a larger diameter than the movable wheel is installed, the trolley will become a balance and can rotate more easily. The wheels are installed for more stability during long-distance transportation.
4 movable casters + 2 fixed castors
Different combinations of movable casters and fixed casters will have different effects. We must first consider our site environment and use conditions, and consider what kind of matching plan is more suitable for our actual application needs. Therefore, when the equipment is installed with casters, there is no fixed saying how many movable casters or fixed casters should be installed, because either method is feasible, but it is only said which combination method is more reasonable and practical.
