What Are Pneumatic Casters?
Pneumatic casters are essentially rubber tires filled with air or foam. As the load presses down on the caster, it creates a cushioned ride and exceptional grip that makes it possible to safely transport loads over a wide range of terrain.
What Applications Are Best Suited for Pneumatic Casters?
Pneumatic casters are designed for applications that require a cushioned ride over smooth surfaces, uneven floors, wet terrain, or outside environments where mud, gravel, or grass are present. The shock-absorbing properties of pneumatic casters provide a smooth ride that protects the load, making them ideal for use on carts and trucks transporting sensitive materials such as components, glass, ceramics, electronics, chemicals, sound and lighting equipment, cameras, etc.
The protection offered by pneumatic casters makes them ideal for aerospace applications, marine applications, hospitality and special events, film production, disaster response, and more.
Are Pneumatic Casters Customizable?
There are many ways to customize pneumatic casters. They can be air or foam-filled and can be equipped with a wide range of hardened raceways, ball bearings, plating, lubrication fittings, yokes, and finishes. At RWM Casters, we offer a broad range of pneumatic casters and will help you create the configuration best suited for your intended applications.
The Advantages of Pneumatic Casters?
Pneumatic casters offer exceptional shock absorption, which makes them well-suited for protecting sensitive, easily damaged cargo and equipment. designed to provide reliable traction over wet surfaces, grass, gravel, mud, etc., pneumatic casters will easily traverse debris and obstacles.
Smooth, efficient, and nearly silent, pneumatic casters make it possible to maneuver challenging environments while maintaining complete control over the truck or cart. This increases safety, minimizes strain on the operator, and expedites movement from point to point.
