Why Our Wheels Work
Choosing the right wheel is one of any business’s most important decisions. RWM Casters manufactures a comprehensive selection of precision-engineered wheels to deliver superior performance. From hospitals and healthcare facilities to manufacturing and industrial applications, our wheels improve handling, ease strain, and enhance safety.
We know it can be daunting to sort through your options to find the optimal wheel for your needs. This guide, coupled with our experts, can help you select wheels suitable for the conditions and applications inherent to your industry.
In terms of wheel mechanics, striking a balance is the key to designing and manufacturing a suitable caster. A balanced wheel accounts for the principles of wheel rotation and incorporates features that ensure even load distribution while minimizing impact on flooring. Our designers and engineers carefully consider every aspect of the design so that the finished wheel maintains superior traction, evenly distributes the load, minimizes strain on the operator, and increases stability in motion and stationary positions.

FAQs
What factors should my business consider when selecting a caster?
To enjoy the benefits of quality wheels, you’ll want to identify whether it’s for a light or heavy-duty application, the required load-bearing capacity, the floor surface, the optimal diameter and bearing type, the brake configuration, and the fittings. You’ll also want to account for special considerations, such as temperature, whether it’s for a medical application, etc.
What are the advantages of a Kingpinless caster?
Kingpinless designs minimize raceway wear. They also enhance maneuverability and ergonomics, which helps protect loads and facilitates safer, more efficient movement.
What factors determine the required push/pull force?
The composition of the caster material, the type of bearings, the size of the caster, and the swivel lead are the main factors that determine push/pull force. At RWM, we aim to design balanced casters that minimize the push/pull force required to transport carts, equipment, etc.
