Universal casters are simply called movable casters, which are designed in such a way as to allow the casters to rotate 360 degrees in a horizontal plane. There are many kinds of raw materials for universal casters, the materials used are: plastic, polyurethane, natural rubber, nylon, metal and other raw materials.
The scope of use of universal casters: industrial equipment, medical equipment, warehousing and logistics equipment, furniture, kitchenware, storage equipment, warehousing and logistics, turnover trucks, a variety of cabinets, machine automation equipment and so on.
The difference between universal wheel and directional wheel
Casters can be divided into two major types of universal wheel and fixed wheel, fixed wheel also caster directional wheel.
Difference 1: turning ability
Universal wheel can turn 360 degrees in the horizontal plane, fixed wheel may only walk back and forth. But different universal wheel may turn also have a corresponding turning radius, this is worth noting.
Difference 2: price difference
The same specification models of casters, universal wheel price is usually higher than the directional wheel.
Difference 3: adapt to the road
Universal wheel is suitable for indoor, the ground is flat, directional wheel can be adapted to both indoor and outdoor some small potholes in the road surface.
Difference 4: Structure difference
Universal wheel caster bracket and directional wheel caster bracket structure is not the same, caster wheel design, it will be the universal wheel caster bracket designed with a rotating function of the structure, while the directional wheel does not have this module, which is precisely why the universal wheel is more expensive one of the reasons.
In short, the type of universal wheel is more, itself between the different types of universal wheel is not a small difference, and the difference between the universal wheel and directional wheel is more, bigger.
