Caster Manufacturer | OEM Industrial Casters

Caster Manufacturer for Industrial, Commercial and Furniture Applications

Qingdao Gleam Hardwares supplies caster wheels for B2B distributors, equipment manufacturers and OEM projects. Available configurations include swivel, rigid and braked casters, with wheel material and mounting selected against the actual load, floor and duty cycle.

Supply Scope and Parameters to Confirm

Parameter	Available direction	What the buyer should provide
Caster configuration	Swivel, rigid or swivel with brake, depending on series	Required maneuvering, straight-line control and brake function
Wheel material	Rubber, TPR, polyurethane, nylon, PVC or other model-specific options	Floor type, noise, marking, debris, chemicals and temperature
Wheel and assembly size	Standard or model-specific dimensions; custom review available	Wheel diameter, tread width, overall height and installation clearance
Mounting	Top plate, threaded stem or other model-specific mount	Plate drawing and hole pattern, or stem diameter, thread and length
Rated load	Confirmed for the exact quoted model, not by wheel material alone	Equipment weight, maximum payload, caster quantity, layout and duty cycle
OEM requirements	Color, marking, packaging or mounting customization subject to review	Drawing or sample, acceptance criteria, quantity and destination

Application and Selection Example

Common applications include warehouse trolleys, material-handling carts, tool cabinets, racks, mobile equipment and furniture. For a warehouse picking trolley, send the trolley weight, maximum payload, caster layout, floor joints or thresholds, daily travel pattern and brake requirement. Selection should use the rated dynamic load of the exact caster assembly with an allowance for uneven load distribution and floor impacts. A sample trolley trial can confirm starting force, steering, noise, brake access and clearance.

Inspection and Test Evidence

Acceptance criteria are agreed on the quotation or approved drawing. Depending on the model and order, the inspection file can include wheel diameter and tread width, overall height, top-plate and bolt-hole dimensions, swivel and rolling checks, brake-function checks, appearance records, packing photos and pre-shipment photos.

Load, endurance, impact or corrosion testing is quoted only when the method, sample size and pass criterion are defined. Reports should identify the tested model so buyers are not relying on a generic claim.

What to Send for a Quotation

Application and total loaded weight
Caster quantity and layout per equipment unit
Wheel diameter, overall height and mounting drawing
Floor, movement frequency, speed, obstacles and environment
Required brake function, material preference and quantity
Packaging, marking and destination requirements

We will match the request to an available model or identify any sample, tooling or test requirement before quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the rated load the same for every caster using the same wheel material?
No. Safe load depends on the complete wheel, bearing, bracket, swivel raceway, mounting and test basis of the exact model.

Can you match an existing top plate?
Send the plate size, hole spacing, hole diameter, overall height and load requirement. Feasibility is confirmed against a drawing or sample.

Do all brakes lock both swivel and wheel rotation?
No. Brake functions vary by model. Specify wheel brake, directional lock or total lock in the enquiry.
