Extra Soft Rubber Caster Wheels
The extra soft rubber on these caster wheels helps to absorb vibration and shock, thus protecting the load or cargo while in transit. Another benefit of these extra soft rubber caster wheels is noise reduction. These caster wheels are designed for use in Hospitals, Electronic and Scientific Laboratories, Hotels, Department Stores, TV and Movie Studios – wherever vibration and noise should be eliminated.
These caster wheels will provide the benefits described above only if the weight being carried does not exceed the rated capacity shown in the table. These extra soft rubber caster wheels are intended for use in only light duty institutional applications. These wheels should never be used in an industrial application or where the tires might be dragged sideways. If you have an industrial application, or if you require a higher capacity, please consider our Super Cushion Rubber caster wheels.
These extra soft rubber caster wheels are non-marking and they will protect all hard floor surfaces. The crown shaped tread on the 3″, 4″ & 5″ wheels enhance the ability of a caster to swivel or change direction and will roll easier than “flat tread” wheels on carpet.
- Non-marking extra soft rubber protects all hard floor surfaces such as hardwood, linoleum, vinyl, tile and terrazzo.
- Absorbs vibration and shock, providing protection to the cargo and equipment.
- Reduces noise enabling quiet operation.
- Climbs more easily over obstacles such as cords, uneven floor expansion joints and gaps between an elevator and the floor.
- Adheres better than other wheels to slippery floors.
- Wheels with crown shaped treads enhance the ability of a swivel caster to turn or change direction.
- Crown shaped treads roll easier on carpet than rubber wheels with “flat” shaped treads due to the narrow footprint of the tire.
