Load capacity

There is a general rule of thumb for calculating the required load capacity per castor for transport equipment with 4 wheels or castors:
You should always divide the total load by 3, as uneven floors or uneven load distribution, for example, mean that not all 4 wheels or castors always carry the load equally.

All our specified load capacities apply to a maximum speed of 4 km/h on smooth, even and clean floors at a temperature of approx. 20°C. However, the load capacity is significantly reduced at increasingly higher speeds and/or ambient temperatures.

You can use our calculator to determine the required load capacity per castor yourself. However, it is best if you call us for advice, because in addition to the correct load capacity, there are several other criteria for finding the right wheel or castor for your application.

Particularly in the case of special applications, you should inform us of the special features (e.g. temperature, substrate, chemical influences, unevenness, etc.). We hereby expressly exclude any subsequent complaints due to typing errors on our part or missing information on your part.
