A spring caster lets the wheel move up under a bump so the shock does not pass straight into the cart. That protects electronics, glass, molds and other fragile loads, and it keeps all four wheels on an uneven floor [S1].
These casters use a solid polyurethane spring block. It does not corrode in wet areas and it holds its rate over time. Steel coils can give more travel but can rust and lose tension. The swivel rig runs on a thrust bearing, and the frame is chrome plated [S1].

A spring caster works best when the load is in the middle of its range. Far below the rating, the spring barely moves and gives little cushioning; at the limit, it bottoms out on bumps.
