In modern logistics and mechanical operations, casters have become an indispensable component for moving trolleys and machinery and equipment. These casters not only help objects to move easily and reduce labor consumption, but also can further enhance their performance when used in the right way. Next, we will introduce in detail the tips and considerations for the use of handling trolleys and machine casters.
First, the use and selection of casters
Casters are mainly installed on handling trolleys and machines to realize the handling of objects through intermittent human push. When choosing casters, the total load of the handling trolley or machine should be taken as reference. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the wheel, the more labor-saving the pushing force is, and at the same time, it can better protect the ground and increase the durability. In the conditions allow, it is recommended to choose a large diameter wheel.
Second, the use of speed and environment
The use speed of casters should be determined according to their design standards. For wheels with diameter below 75MM, it is recommended that the speed of human-powered implementation should not exceed 2KM/H; while for wheels with diameter above 100MM, the speed should not exceed 4KM/H. In addition, the casters are suitable for use on flat surfaces at room temperature, please avoid using them on the ground with acid, alkali, salt, oil, water, and obvious unevenness in order to prevent damage to the casters or to affect the use of the effect.
In extreme temperature environments, such as high temperatures above 60℃ or low temperatures below -5℃, casters suitable for the corresponding temperatures should be selected to ensure their normal operation and prolong their service life.
Precautions for the use of casters
1. Do not overload: Be sure to observe the maximum load limit of the casters, avoid overloading to avoid damage or safety accidents.
2. Use on flat ground: Casters are suitable for use on flat ground, avoid using them on high places where there is a drop to prevent impact and damage.
3. avoid forklift operation: casters are not suitable for direct operation of forklift and other heavy machinery to avoid damage.
Through the above introduction, I believe that we have a deeper understanding of the handling trolley and the use of machine casters skills and precautions. In the actual application, please be sure to comply with the relevant provisions to ensure the normal use of casters and extend their service life.
