Small casters, even will “kill”, the use of poor-quality casters to pay attention to the enterprise!

As a kind of equipment commonly used in the field of logistics and handling, the role of casters is self-evident. However, if the use of poor quality casters, will bring enterprises and individuals can not be ignored harm.

Inferior casters often lack the necessary structural support and material quality assurance, service life and bearing capacity is low, very easy to cause damage and failure. When using these casters, the weight and volume of the items to be handled will place a considerable burden on them, leading to wear and tear of the wheel bearings and deformation of the tires, and may even derail and other hazardous situations during transportation, posing a great threat to individuals, equipment and the environment.

Poor quality casters may cause harm to the operator and the environment. When handling heavy objects, poor quality casters may slide or slip, causing the items to lose balance or fall, posing a serious risk of injury to the operator. In addition, poor quality casters may also prevent some casters from rolling freely, increasing friction during handling and making it more difficult, as well as causing scratches and damage to the floor and the surface of the item.

As the person in charge of the enterprise, safety management personnel in order to avoid these dangers, must act immediately, the enterprise should pay attention to the quality of casters, choose the appropriate casters. On the handling trolley casters to carry out a comprehensive risk assessment and hidden danger investigation, the problems identified for thorough rectification.

Here are some suggestions for caster selection:

First, choose good quality casters. When purchasing casters, you should choose certified products, such as national standard certification, ISO certification, etc., as far as possible, in order to ensure the load-bearing capacity and quality of casters.

Secondly, pay attention to the size and carrying capacity of casters. Different items need different sizes and carrying capacity of casters. When choosing casters, you should choose the right casters according to the weight and volume of the items to be handled to ensure a smooth and safe handling process.

Visually check the casters for wear and tear, check that the casters are rotating normally without debris entanglement or excessive looseness or tightness of the casters, replace broken casters to avoid unstable rotation, and after checking and replacing the casters, make sure that the wheel axle is tightened with locking spacers and nuts (as a loose wheel axle will lead to friction between the wheel spans and the bracket and jamming)

Regardless of the size of the enterprise, the number of employees, must be based on compliance with the safety bottom line, I hope that all enterprises, the accident as a mirror, learn from the past, the strict implementation of the main responsibility for safety, take the initiative to check the blind spot of safety management, timely plugging of safety management loopholes, will be a safety warning hanging in the mouth at all times, will be the “red line of safety” firmly engraved in the heart, to prevent the occurrence of various types of production safety accidents! All kinds of production safety accidents!
