The variety of casters is complex, and according to different classification standards, they can be divided into the following main types:

1. Classified by raw materials:

Metal casters: usually made of materials such as cast iron, cast steel, or stainless steel, with high load-bearing capacity and stability, suitable for heavy loads and harsh environments.

Plastic casters: Made of plastic materials such as polyamide (nylon), polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), etc., it is simple and has low noise, but its load-bearing capacity is relatively weak.

Rubber casters: made of rubber materials, with good shock absorption and buffering functions, suitable for occasions with high ground requirements.

Polyurethane casters: Polyurethane casters have good elasticity and are suitable for furniture and places with high wear and tear.

2. Punishment according to usage:

Industrial casters: planned for use in industrial environments such as factories and warehouses, with strong load-bearing capacity and the ability to adapt to heavy loads and frequent movements.

Medical casters: Specially designed for use in medical equipment such as beds, operating tables, etc., requiring quietness, stability, and ease of operation.

Furniture casters: Used for furniture, such as office chairs, sofas, etc., usually requiring simplicity, aesthetics, and ease of installation.

3. Divided by rolling method:

Directional casters: casters can only roll in a fixed direction and are suitable for devices that move in a straight line.

Universal casters: able to rotate 360 degrees, making the device more flexible during movement, suitable for situations that require frequent changes in direction.
