How to choose the right wheels for trolleys?
Before ordering trolley wheels or replacing them on an outdated design, consumers often face the question "how to choose the right trolley wheel?" In this article we will try to briefly answer the questions that arise.
Basic parameters:
- Calculation of the load on a structure or a single wheel.
- Wheel selection to match the type of flooring.
- Operating environment of the wheels.
The first, and most important indicator is the total load on Buyers often mistakenly believe that the total weight of the trolley should be divided by 4 (according to the number of wheels) and it will be the required load per wheel. However, this can lead to unfortunate consequences, as in the process of work the trolley can run on uneven surfaces, have overload on one side, etc. To avoid this, we recommend that you calculate the weight of the trolley on 3 wheels before you buy the wheels.
The second important factor is the type of flooring on which the structure will move.For more information on this you can find on our website in the categories of wheels, as well as consult our managers.
The third factor that greatly affects the longevity of wheels is the environment in which they are used. For example, if you have a confectionery or bakery production, only heat-resistant wheels for carts or, as they are also called, heat-resistant wheels and rollers are suitable for you. If the company is damp, exposure to aggressive environments, you can not do without brackets of stainless steel and special wheels of polyamide or polyurethane.
