Load
Capacity
Most
material handling vehicles rarely have equal load
distribution on all wheels at the same time. The minimum and
maximum intended load (including caster weight) should be
determined for best stability and overall performance. Where
payloads vary, a suspension system with the widest effective
range of spring deflection should be used.
Mechanical
Power vs. Manual
Mechanically
powered vehicles normally operate at greater speed than
similar vehicles drawn by hand. They are subjected to, and
must withstand, much higher impact shock forces. Please
consult with our engineers for proper selection.
Environment
and Frequency of Use
The
surface upon which your vehicle operates, the smoothness of
that surface, frequency of usage and the type of payload you
transport are all important factors when selecting shock
isolating casters and wheel materials for your vehicle. Our
engineers will assist you with this essential selection
process. Noise
Control When
you require noise abatement more inline with OSHA
standards. |
