One of the problems with running a commercial enterprise that involves material handling is that all too often growth and expansion can leave you scrambling for logistical solutions in the back room or warehouse. Heavy duty castors may be the just the answer you are looking for.

There are Lots of Castor Systems Available

On looking around you may find plenty of suppliers who are ready to sell you elaborate castor systems. Make sure they understand fully the needs of your business and can provide you with a solution that's right for you.

Alternatives to Castors when Moving Items

Wheeled machines have come a long way too, and engineers have made great strides in making fork lift machines and other mobile transportation equipment smaller. Even so, they all have two things in common in that they're very expensive to buy initially and then to maintain. Compare this to the small cost of a carefully implemented castor system and you can imagine the financial savings to be made.

What about Heavy Duty Castors?

So how can we use heavy duty castors? Can they actually be a viable solution to your materials handling problems? For instance how much weight will they hold, and what about elevating heavy loads? After all, in the end materials do have to be removed after they have been transported.

Castors are now More Durably Built and Reliable

What many business owners, managers fail to realize is that castors have also gone through some pretty amazing technological advancements. Castors are now far more durably built, and at the same time being much more reliable too.

Even More Amazing New Castor Developments

New technological advancements in heavy duty castors also include electric or manual jacks that allow your employees to actually lift and lower loads just as they would do with a forklift. So then are these new developments in castors on the way to replacing motor powered materials handling systems?

Empowering Employees to be More Productive

The simple answer to that question is yes, to some extent, but by no means completely. You see, what these new roller devices do is empower the employees that you already have to be able to move, and store materials and merchandise more safely and efficiently.

Heat, Corrosive and Oil Resistant Castors?

Another area that has seen huge technological advancements is heat, oil, and corrosive resistant materials that are now being used in the castors manufacturing process. This means that limitations that may have prevented many businesses from using these devices in the past, have now been eliminated.

Castors for Commercial Baking Operations

Commercial baking operations for example now use a variety of different heavy duty castors that allow them to roll heavy loads of products right into commercial ovens where they can be left until the baking process is completed. Then when it's time to remove them, they're simply rolled back out on their castors in the same way that they were rolled in.
