Shock-absorbing casters are perfect for carts, trucks, and racks carrying equipment or materials sensitive to impact. They are also perfect for use on rough floors and surfaces. They make it much easier for the people moving the carts to roll over rough flooring, thresholds, and other obstacles.
They Reduce Noise
Heavy and large equipment can make much noise when moving across rough surfaces. Shock-absorbing casters help reduce this noise by cushioning the impact and allowing easy maneuvering over bumpy paths.
These light duty shock absorber casters are perfect for carts, furniture, and other equipment sensitive to shock loads or vibration. They have spring-loaded suspensions that allow the caster to flex and absorb the shock and vibration. They can also be fitted with different spring constants to determine optimal deflection. Quiet-roll clean-environment medium-duty shock-absorbing plate casters are designed for use on carts, trolleys, and similar equipment in cleanroom environments, medical settings, and automotive applications. They have aluminum frames resistant to corrosion and precision ball bearings allowing casters to roll quietly and smoothly.
They Reduce Vibration
Using shock-absorbing casters on carts and other equipment helps keep sensitive loads safe during transport. These unique spring-loaded casters reduce vibration from uneven floors or outdoor surfaces by minimizing the impact energy transferred to the load. This can help protect fragile loads and even extend the casters’ lifespan. These casters are often used on medical and laboratory equipment, computer mainframes and towers, point-of-purchase displays, mobile workstations, food processing equipment, storage equipment, and dollies for assembly line work.
Shock-absorbing casters with elastomer springs built right into the wheel is especially efficient at dampening noise and vibration. These casters are frequently used on cleanroom equipment, medical settings, and automotive applications. They can also be found on carts, trolleys, and other equipment in manufacturing environments.
They Reduce Damage
Shock-absorbing casters help to protect equipment and cargo from damage caused by uneven surfaces, impacts, or vibration. However, these casters must use the right springs to achieve optimum deflection. If the springs are too firm, they can extend the impact and cause excessive vibration. Dual wheel shock-absorbing casters offer a cushioned ride that helps to reduce the impact on cargo and carts being moved across rough floors and terrain. They are often used for transporting sensitive medical equipment, lab equipment, mobile workstations, sound and lighting equipment, and food processing machinery.

They Reduce Maintenance Costs
Shock-absorbing casters provide a soft ride over obstacles, bumps, and rough surfaces, which helps protect the carts, equipment, and cargo they carry. Without them, any shock or vibration would jolt the equipment and cause it to break or become damaged. With the right springs, these casters will deflect and absorb shocks to protect the cart or equipment’s contents from damage. However, if the springs are not properly deflected or placed on the wrong type of caster, they could do more harm than good. The best choice for a given application depends on how much weight the casters will bear and their position. For example, vertically mounted springs are ideal for equipment that always carries the same weight. In contrast, inside or outside-mount springs are better for applications with various load capacities.
They Increase Stability
Light-duty shock-absorbing casters provide a quiet, smooth ride on rough surfaces while stabilizing your carts, trucks, and racks. This is especially important in environments with constantly changing floor conditions and debris. These casters also offer improved stability on uneven floors and provide a greater range of motion than standard casters. They are available in various load capacities and have multiple wheel options to accommodate any application or industry.
