| Notes: |
| 1. This chart is intended
only as a general comparison and NOT as a recommendation for any particular
wheel on a specific floor surface. |
| 2. On smooth floors with NO obstructions. |
| 3. Some noise is created by the virbration of the swivel bearing when a swivel caster is rolling or turning. |
| 4. The softer the wheel material, the more resilient it is but the risk of a flat spot developing is higher if left parked for a prolonged period with a load greater than 50% of the wheel capacity. |
| 5. Soft rubber tires are the most floor protective wheel material. Chair casters with Polyurethane tires are safe to use on hard floor surfaces such as hardwood, ceramic tile, concrete floors and plastic mats. They are NOT recommended for use on soft wood floors, vinyl or linoleum. For Industrial applications, Polyurethane is often described by others as floor protective. It is non-marking and non-marring; however, a hard polyurethane may affect some floor surfaces over time. |
| 6. Never select on the basis of capacity alone. |
| 7. Intermittent contact at room temperatire only, less than 10% chemical concentration. |
| 8. Yellow balls
suggest the wheel
may or may not perform well or be to your satisfaction on your floor surface.
CALL US for a suggestion based on your application. |
