What they are

PH Casters healthcare line explained

PH Casters' medical and healthcare line is built around four series engineered for different load classes and applications. Kinexus Light (165 lb / 75 kg per caster) targets shower chairs and light assistive devices. Kinexus (220-275 lb / 100-125 kg) is the workhorse for general hospital furniture, treatment carts, and rehab equipment. Tandem Standard Height and Tandem Low Height twin-wheel models handle the highest loads (up to 275 lb per caster) for hospital beds, patient lifts, treatment chairs, and heavy trolleys. All four series share the same construction principle: glass-fibre-reinforced polypropylene wheel cores, thermoplastic-elastomer (TPR) crown or flat treads, precision-sealed steel bearings, and red Total-Lock pedals on brake-equipped variants. Standard frame color is RAL 7001 gray; white-with-black-tread (RAL 9003 / 9011) variants are stocked for clinical-environment specifications.

Sizing guide

How to choose the right PH Casters series

Match the series to your load class, the wheel diameter to your equipment's clearance, and the brake configuration to the operational requirement (transfer safety, corridor tracking, or stationary positioning).

  • Under 165 lb per caster: Kinexus Light (75mm wheel, plastic yoke). Shower chairs, light assistive devices, compact serving trolleys.
  • 165-220 lb per caster: Kinexus (75mm/100mm wheel). General hospital furniture, treatment carts, IV stands, rehab equipment.
  • Over 220 lb per caster or hospital bed / patient lift applications: Tandem Standard or Tandem Low Height twin-wheel design. Standard Height for typical bed chassis, Low Height for compact lift platforms.
  • Brake configuration: Total-Lock locks wheel and swivel in one motion for stationary positioning (beds, lifts) · Swivel-only for support casters on multi-caster arrays · Directional-Lock for predictable straight-line tracking on corridor runs.
  • Mounting: Plate (M05), bolt-hole (H05/H06), grip-ring stem (F17/F18), threaded stem (T10/T27/T37/T47). Verify against your equipment's existing mounting pattern before specifying a replacement.

Engineering insight

Engineer's note

"PH Casters covers the full healthcare load class with one product line. Kinexus Light handles the shower-chair and assistive-device end; Tandem Standard handles hospital beds and patient lifts at the high end. The thermoplastic-elastomer treads roll quietly on vinyl and polished concrete corridors and they don't mark floors, which matters in long-term care. We stock the full 195-SKU range so a procurement team can quote, order, and install in the same week. For DFW facilities, we'll come on-site through Caster Doctor and replace the full fleet without your team lifting a wrench."

Buyer FAQ

PH Casters healthcare line questions

Are PH Casters in stock in the USA?

Yes. All 195 SKUs of the medical and healthcare line are stocked at CasterHQ Mansfield, Texas. Standard ship time is 3-5 business days. Volume orders (50+ casters) ship in the same window from our Texas warehouse.

What is the difference between Kinexus and Tandem?

Kinexus is the single-wheel design — lighter, lower profile, and better for general hospital furniture and rehab equipment under 220 lb per caster. Tandem is the twin-wheel design — heavier-duty, rated up to 275 lb per caster, and used on hospital beds, patient lifts, and high-load trolleys. The Tandem Low Height variant fits compact chassis applications.

What load capacity does each series handle?

Kinexus Light: 165 lb per caster. Kinexus: 165-220 lb per caster depending on wheel diameter. Tandem Standard Height: up to 275 lb per caster. Tandem Low Height: up to 275 lb per caster. A standard 4-caster array supports 4× the per-caster rating with a 30% safety margin recommended.

What mounting options are available?

Plate (M05), bolt-hole (H05 13mm, H06 11mm), grip-ring stem (F17 7/16"x7/8", F18 7/16"x1-7/16"), and threaded stem (T10 M12x25mm, T27 M10x25mm, T37 1/2"-13x1", T47 3/8"-16x1"). Verify against your equipment's existing mounting before specifying a replacement.

Do you offer volume pricing?

Yes. Bulk discounts apply at 50+, 100+, and 200+ caster quantities. For OEM contracts, monthly recurring orders, or fleet-wide replacement programs, request a quote and our team will return tier pricing with your specifications.

Do you provide on-site installation in DFW?

Yes — Caster Doctor is our turnkey on-site service for Dallas-Fort Worth healthcare facilities. We audit your equipment, match the correct PH Casters series to each device, quote parts + labor as a single bid, and install on-site during off-hours.

What about custom colors or OEM branding?

Standard stock colors are RAL 7001 gray (most common) and RAL 9003 white with RAL 9011 black tread. For larger orders (typically 500+ casters), PH Casters can produce custom frame and pedal colors. Contact our engineering team for OEM color matching, branding, and minimum-order specifications.
