Caster Type


	Caster Type
	Your choices are...
	Air Caster		Casters use a cushion of air pressure to raise the load for ease of movement. There is no wheel involved.
	Ball Wheels		Wheels are ball-shaped and usually made of brass. Ball wheels are often found on furniture.
	Leveling Caster		Leveling casters contain a caster as well as a leveling mount. Leveling casters allow the equipment to be easily moved, and then leveled and used in a stationary position. Some leveling casters also contain rubber mounts for anti-vibration.
	Rigid Plate Caster		Casters have a plate for mounting, but do not swivel.
	Stem Caster		Casters have a stem for mounting.
	Swivel Plate Caster		Casters have a plate for mounting and are free to rotate.

Wheel


	Wheel
	Your choices are...
	Metal / Forged Wheel		The wheel is made completely from metal. This includes both the tread and the hub.
	Stainless Steel Wheel		The wheel is made entirely of stainless steel.
	Flanged Track Wheel		The wheel has a flange on one or both sides and is designed for riding on a track. Flanged track wheels cannot run directly on floors because of the amount of bearing surface area on the flanges.
	V-grooved Wheel		The wheel is V-shaped for riding on a track. V-grooved wheels can also run directly on floors.
	Plastic Wheel		The wheel is made of plastic.
	Phenolic Wheel		Phenolic wheels are made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper or glass cloth impregnated with synthetic resin. When heat and pressure are applied, a chemical reaction (polymerization) transforms the layers into a high-pressure, thermosetting, industrial-strength, laminated plastic.
	Pneumatic Wheel		The wheel is air-filled and typically consists of a rubber tire on a metal rim. The assembly may include an inflatable tube, or be tubeless.
	Solid Polyurethane Wheel		The wheel is made of solid polyurethane.
	Poly on Metal Wheel		The tread of made of polyurethane and the hub is made of metal, usually iron, aluminum, or stainless steel.
	Poly on Plastic Wheel		The tread is made of polyurethane and the hub is made of plastic.
	Solid Rubber Wheel		The wheel is made of solid rubber.
	Rubber on Metal Wheel		The tread is made of rubber and the hub is made of metal, usually iron, aluminum, or stainless steel.
