Maintenance
Proper maintenance is essential for keeping your casters and wheels operating at peak performance. Whether used in industrial facilities, warehouses, medical equipment, or commercial applications, routine inspections and upkeep can extend the lifespan of your mobility solutions, reduce downtime, and prevent costly replacements.
The Importance of Caster & Wheel Maintenance
Casters and wheels endure constant wear and tear from heavy loads, high-impact movements, and exposure to various environmental conditions. Without proper maintenance, they can develop issues such as uneven wear, decreased mobility, and structural failures. Key aspects of maintenance include:
- Lubrication & Swivel Performance – Keeping bearings and raceways lubricated for smooth rotation and reduced friction.
- Wheel & Tread Inspection – Checking for cracks, flat spots, or excessive wear that may affect movement and safety.
- Load Capacity Management – Ensuring that casters are not overloaded to prevent structural strain and failure.
- Fastener & Mounting Checks – Regularly tightening bolts and fasteners to prevent wobbling or detachment.
- Debris & Contaminant Removal – Cleaning wheels and axles to prevent buildup that could hinder movement.
