Wicke’s heavy-duty castors are manufactured to handle loads ranging from 1,000 to 20,000kg. This is significantly bigger and heavier compared to other castors. Accordingly, heavy-duty castor wheels should be able to absorb a lot of accidental impacts which is very common in an industrial environment. Hence, they are made from materials that are stress-resistant and have the ability to absorb more shock than others.

These are some of the points one needs to keep in mind while selecting industrial castor wheels. Let us look at the applications of heavy-duty trolley wheels and castors.

• Transport trolleys: Transportation and moving castors are a crucial tool for packers, movers and warehouse logistics. They are the main tools for transportation and relocation requirements and used to move a lot of heavy stuff such as furniture, household goods, packages, etc., which requires sturdy industrial castor wheels.

• Industrial applications: Industrial setups have varying load-bearing and mobility needs in various climates and on varied surfaces. Therefore, heavy-duty castors made of the right material and accessories are important to ensure safety in high-risk environments.

• Movement of heavy medical equipment: The movement of heavy medical units such as X-Ray machines, USG equipment, and MRI equipment among other Critical Care Unit equipment is crucial in certain medical facilities. It needs to be done with the utmost care as a slight bump can unsettle these units and render them useless. Good quality industrial castors are essential in such a setup.

• Manufacturing units and assembly lines: Conveyor belts have revolutionised large-scale manufacturing plants. The most important part of a conveyor belt is the castor fittings. Prone to constant wear and tear, heavy-duty castor wheels are best for this job.

• Air cargo operations: The aviation industry uses heavy castor fittings and accessories extensively. Air cargo is transported and loaded in planes using trolleys with heavy-duty wheels.

• Warehouses: Heavy castor wheels are critical to any warehouse operation. They facilitate the movement of cargo from point A to B. Sturdy industrial castors offer the best solutions to logistical challenges faced by businesses.
