Increase the efficiency with nylon casters

The load bearings of these heavy weight container casters can be from one and a half tonnes each up to seven tonnes each. With heavy gauge forged steel castor housings and forged steel swivel heads, suitable for most containers, these nylon casters provide a heavy weight solution. From the heavyweight 7 tonnes casters there are a variety of options for freight handling with lower load bearing capabilities. For example dolly carts and cargo handling trolleys tend to utilize a variety of polyurethane and nylon tyred casters. 

Both these materials are extremely strong and hard wearing and will withstand not only extremes of temperature, but also heavy wear and tear. Nylon and polyurethane casters can withstand heavy loads varying from one hundred kilogram's up to well over one and a half tonnes.  Both polyurethane and nylon tyred casters are able to withstand freezing temperature down to minus 40 degrees centigrade.  This cold temperature resistance makes them particularly suitable for external environments such as Airports. Replacement casters for freight handling and cargo trolleys often provide a more economic solution, rather than replacing the whole trolley. With Global freight volumes of over 80 million tonnes, at any one time, somewhere in the world, casters are keeping cargo and freight moving!

Effective uses of Nylon castors

Heavy duty castors, by indication from their name, are made to withstand hard ware, excessive loads, and in some instances extremes of weather. Heavy duty castors can be either swivel castors, fixed castors or lockable castors. Swiveling castors enable the wheel to move in a 360 degree rotation. Nylon castors Sydney, alternatively, do not allow rotation, ensuring the wheel moves unidirectional.

·         Lockable swiveling castors give the user the most flexibility as it allows the wheel to rotate, however this can be locked in position if required to ensure the castor does not move. 

·         These heavy duty castors can take loads from 150 kilogram's up to 300 kilograms each. The most hard wearing wheel options to house within these castors, tends to be rubber, polyurethane wheels or nylon wheels.

·         Extra Heavy duty castors can do even more! These tough castors can withstand load ratings from 300 kilograms up to 800 kilograms each. 

·         Utilized within steel fabrication, industrial and manufacturing environments these castors can not only last the distance, but can also withstand hard wear and tear. 

·         Wheel choices tend to be more limited the heavier duty you go. By far the toughest wheels are polyurethane, nylon or cast iron.
