| 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.
