A common approach is to divide by the caster count minus one, since uneven floors rarely load all wheels equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich wheel material should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch it to the floor and the environment. Polyurethane and rubber protect finished floors and absorb shock; phenolic and cast iron take heat and heavy loads; nylon resists chemicals and rolls easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need brakes on all four casters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRarely. Two braked casters usually hold equipment in place. What matters more is that the braked wheels are positioned so the item cannot pivot around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my cart wander to one side?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommonly a damaged swivel bearing, debris in the wheel, or mixing wheel diameters or materials across the set. Casters should be replaced as a matched set rather than individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a kingpinless caster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt replaces the kingpin - the usual failure point under shock loading - with a raceway design. They cost more and are specified for towing and high-impact applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere do the specifications on this page come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are taken from the manufacturer's published listing.
