Selecting a Caster
Load Rating
Each Haydock caster and wheel carries a maximum
recommended load capacity, based on manual
operation with intermittent service at speeds of two
miles per hour. Haydock load ratings are in
accordance with Institute of Caster and Wheel
Manufacturers (ICWM) recommendations.
Wheel Size and Tread Hardness
Generally, larger diameter wheels roll easier and
absorb shock better than smaller wheels. Wider wheel
treads spread load for better floor protection but are
harder to roll than narrow treads. Hard tread wheels
have higher load capacity and roll easier than soft
tread wheels which provide a cushioned ride and quiet
operation.
Floor Conditions
Soft tread wheels protect floors and offer quieter
operation, though they are less suited for carpeted
areas. Hard tread wheels are ideal for industrial
locations where metal debris, steel grating, rough
floors, and similar conditions exist.
Installation
Installation is simple, with a variety of standard plate
and stem mounts available to meet specific customer
needs.
Finish
Most Haydock standard casters come in a variety of
colors and finishes. If the Catalog does not show the
finish that you are looking for, please contact the factory
as other finishes are available upon request.
Swivel Design
Haydock casters are available in a single race swivel,
dual race swivel or rigid construction. The dual race
swivel features two sets of polished steel balls travel-
ing in two lubricated raceways, providing maximum
swivel radius, load capacity and long life.
