Frequently Asked Questions

What casters work best on hotel marble lobby floors?

Soft polyurethane (Shore A 70–80) or non-marking rubber treads are the only safe options on polished marble. Hard plastic, phenolic, or metal wheels will scratch and dull the surface permanently. For very heavy loads like luggage carts, wider wheel faces (1.5"–2") distribute the weight and further reduce the risk of indentation marks.

How do I prevent housekeeping cart casters from squeaking in guest corridors?

Squeaking is almost always a bearing issue. Sealed precision ball bearings (as opposed to plain bore or roller bearings) eliminate the metal-on-metal contact that causes noise. For new cart purchases, specify sealed bearings. For existing carts, lubricate the swivel raceways and axle bearings with white lithium grease — avoid petroleum-based lubricants which attract dirt and accelerate wear.

What is the best caster for banquet tables on carpeted ballroom floors?

On carpet, harder wheel materials (nylon or hard polyurethane Shore D 60+) roll more easily because they resist the compression resistance of carpet fibers. Larger diameter wheels (5"–6") also help. Avoid soft rubber on carpet — the friction is significantly higher and can cause ergonomic strain for staff moving heavy table stacks.

Do pool-area casters need special treatment for salt water environments?

Yes. Standard zinc-plated or chrome-plated hardware will corrode within months in a salt or chlorinated environment. Specify 304 stainless steel top plates and rigs, with nylon or polyurethane wheels (both are corrosion-immune). 316 stainless is required for direct saltwater exposure (oceanfront pool decks). Avoid ball bearings in direct water contact — use sealed bearings or plain bore nylon wheels.
