Detailed Introduction:

The wide application of hand cart casters in production and daily life is due to their low cost, simple maintenance, easy operation, and light weight. They can work in places where motor vehicles are inconvenient to use and are very convenient for transporting lighter items over short distances. For example, there are casters on baby strollers, which are not only convenient and practical, but also greatly reduce physical labor, truly freeing everyone from physical labor.

Features of hand cart casters:

There are three types of wheels for a handcart: single wheel, two wheel, three wheel, and four-wheel. The unicycle can travel on narrow gangways, convenient bridges, and narrow paths, and can turn in place, making it very convenient to dump goods. The commonly used two wheeled vehicles include hand push trucks for transporting individual items, rack trucks, and bucket trucks for transporting bulk materials. There is one swivel wheel in a three wheeled handcart and two swivel wheels in a four-wheel handcart that can rotate around a vertical axis. This type of swivel caster can automatically adjust to the direction with the least running resistance as the direction of vehicle movement changes during operation.

Wheel structure of handcart:

The wheels of hand carts for different purposes have different body structures. Most universal four wheeled handcarts have a cargo platform. Specialized handcarts have a variety of structures, some of which are made into box shaped bodies, suitable for carrying lightweight and easy to load and unload items; Some car bodies extend brackets for easy placement of parts such as rods, shafts, and pipes; Some car bodies have a shape that perfectly matches the cargo, such as gas cylinder trucks; Some are very compact, foldable, and easy to carry; For the convenience of loading and unloading cylindrical goods such as liquid barrels and paper rolls, some vehicles have two flat steel bars forming a low sloping surface on the body to facilitate the rolling of cylindrical goods up and down, such as cylindrical cargo loading and unloading vehicles.

Wheel brake device for handcart:

【1】 Due to prolonged use, wheel wear may occur, resulting in a decrease in wheel function. It is important to observe the braking ability of the wheels carefully.  

【2】 In general, the anti rotation effect of hard casters (nylon, resin, etc.) will decrease after a period of use.

【3】 In terms of stopping rotation, operate according to the requirements of the product manual, or use other stopping methods (such as wheel brakes, ground anti-skid, etc.) as specified for special needs.

Installation of trolley wheels:

【1】 When installing the wheels of a handcart, different brackets should be selected for wheels of different materials, usually installed on fixed brackets. It should be noted that the connection between industrial casters and equipment must be durable, and the installation of casters must be quick and safe. In addition, the most appropriate caster device should be used to match the bracket.

【2】 The installed trolley caster bracket must have sufficient strength. If the casters rotate, the motion bearings must always be vertical. The fixed casters must be in a straight line with their axles. If only rotating casters are used, they must be consistent. If fixed casters are used in conjunction with swivel casters, all casters must be compatible with each other and recommended for use by the manufacturer.
