Individual industries present unique challenges when it comes to moving heavy loads, and that’s why there are dozens of different caster types and sizes from which you can choose. Here, you’ll learn more about some of the most popular casters for several big industries across the country.

Automotive Things are always moving in the automotive industry, and sometimes, those things are entire vehicles moving down assembly lines. The two most popular casters in this industry are CasterShoX and TWERGO options. 

CasterShox – These casters are designed with incredible shock absorption, which makes them perfect for moving loads of window glass and windshields. Even with imperfections in the floor, CasterShox offers a smooth, bump-free ride.

TWERGO – TWERGO casters offer ergonomic operation and the ability to support up to 5,000 pounds per wheel.

They offer perfect for bumper and parts racks, axle and gear carts, and more.

Manufacturing Those in the manufacturing industry rely on moving loads of all sizes, and that is why it is so very helpful to have a wide variety of casters available. The most popular versions found in today’s manufacturing facilities are ErgoMaxx and Drive Casters. 

Warehousing & Distribution

In the Warehousing and Distribution industry, loads are not always as heavy, but they are quite frequent. This means employees will spend a great deal of their day moving loads back and forth from one area to another. The following casters serve this industry the best. 

TWERGO Lite – These wheels have the very same patents and technology as the larger TWERGO wheels, but in a smaller, single-wheel design. These wheels reduce push force, improving employee satisfaction, and also fit into just about any budget.

Conversion Drive Casters – With a conversion drive caster, it’s possible to convert any cart or rack into a drive cart, which makes the processes behind moving loads much simpler, much safer, and much more effective.
