Spring Loaded Casters (Shock-Absorbing, Up to 3,100 lb Capacity)

Spring Loaded Casters

Spring loaded casters are designed to absorb shock, vibration, and impact during movement. An internal spring mechanism allows the caster to compress under load, helping protect equipment, reduce structural stress, and improve load stability during transport.

This page helps you select the correct spring loaded caster type for industrial or aerospace applications, with capacity options up to 3,100 lbs per caster.

Choose a Spring Loaded Caster Type

Industrial Spring Loaded Casters Up to 3,000 lb • Shock absorbing for industrial carts and equipment Aerospace Spring Loaded Casters Up to 3,100 lb • Designed for aerospace and precision applications

When to Use Spring Loaded Casters

Transporting sensitive or fragile equipment
Reducing shock loads on frames and weldments
Handling uneven floors, thresholds, and debris
Aerospace, defense, and precision manufacturing environments

Selection tip: Spring rate, load range, and wheel material must be matched carefully. Oversized springs can reduce effectiveness, while undersized springs can bottom out under load.
