Custom Casters Engineered for Your Application

Custom Industrial Casters

When standard casters can’t handle your load, your floor, or the way your equipment moves, you need a custom solution from RWM Casters. We design custom casters and caster wheels for unusual operating requirements, including extremely heavy loads, high-speed towing, high temperatures, corrosive or washdown environments, and rough or uneven floors.

Our engineering team is willing and able to custom-manufacture nearly anything to suit any application. From the caster or wheel itself to any protective or powder coat finishes to added parts and accessories, no component is off-limits to customization! Browse our standard industrial caster lines and industrial wheel options to see where many custom projects start.

How Are Our Custom Casters Manufactured at RWM Casters?

RWM has a team of designers and engineers who can create full 3D computer-aided design (CAD) renderings of the product you request. Whether you need an aerospace wheel capable of bearing a 15,000-pound load, a product that can withstand high-speed towing, or an ergonomic solution for an existing fleet of carts, we have you covered. 

To help with the design process on your end, we provide access to over 600,000 CAD combinations that are ready to be adjusted to your unique needs. Our CAD downloads provide an easy way for you to preview custom products for your special application. If you need help using the CAD files, our team can walk you through the process.

What Aspects of My Casters Can Be Customized?

At RWM, we have an in-house testing facility to ensure that all custom polyurethane wheels, shock-absorbing casters, and Kingpinless raceways can withstand the most demanding applications, regardless of what industry you plan to use the product for. This way, you can rest assured that your custom-made casters will perform as intended. If we find any compromises in the design you requested, we’ll let you know.

Here are the types of customizations you can make when ordering solutions from an industrial custom caster manufacturer:

• Size: Specify the wheel diameter and width and overall height you require for your custom casters.
• Load capacity: When determining the necessary strength for your wheels and casters, consider the weight of the equipment and its cargo divided by the number of wheels that will share the load.
• Wheel type: The ideal wheel material depends on many factors, such as the need for floor protection, noise reduction, ergonomics, durability in high temperatures, and non-marking treads.
• Bearings: Choose the type of bearings you want your wheels to have based on the ease of effort you require for beginning and maintaining rolling action.
• Added parts and accessories: These include but aren’t limited to brake options, swivel locks, turntable adjustments, floor locks, field-installable foot guards, and, of course, custom paint jobs.

Ordering the correct wheel is critical for the success of your upcoming job. If you need help figuring out the proper customizations, don’t hesitate to ask! The experienced sales and customer service teams at RWM can assist you in finding the best fit for your needs, whether it’s a standard or custom solution.

What to Include in Your Custom Caster Quote Request

The more we know about your application, the faster our engineers can point you toward the right caster. When you request a quote, please share as much of the following as you can:

Loaded weight: The weight of the equipment plus the heaviest load it will carry, including any shock or impact loads.

• Number of casters: How many casters will share the load, and whether all of them stay in contact with the floor.
• Mounting dimensions: Top plate size and bolt pattern, or stem type, plus the overall height you need.
• Floor conditions: Smooth concrete, rough or uneven surfaces, debris, grates, ramps, temperature extremes, or exposure to water and chemicals.
• Movement or towing requirements: Whether the equipment is pushed by hand or towed, along with travel speed, distance, and how often it moves.
• Brake and material needs: Any brakes, swivel locks, or floor locks, plus wheel material preferences such as non-marking treads or stainless steel.

These details help our team narrow down the wheel material, bearing type, rig design, and accessories that suit your application. If you already have drawings or a CAD file, include those as well.

Every custom request is reviewed by our engineering team before we recommend a configuration. Final design, materials, and rated capacity are confirmed only after that review, so you get a solution based on your actual operating conditions rather than a guess.
