Washers for Casters | CasterHQ


Washers for casters are a vital component when it comes to using casters effectively and efficiently. Washers help distribute the load evenly across the surface of the caster and the equipment it is attached to. By placing washers between the caster and the equipment, you can prevent localized pressure points and reduce the risk of damage to both the caster and the equipment.


By providing an additional level of support, washers help improve the stability of caster wheels. They can help minimize wobbling, swaying, or tilting that may occur during movement, ensuring a smoother and safer operation. Washers for casters can help absorb and dampen vibrations that may occur during movement or when encountering uneven surfaces. This helps reduce the transfer of vibrations to the equipment, leading to a smoother and more comfortable operation.


Washers for casters can act as a barrier between the caster wheel and the equipment, protecting both surfaces from potential damage. They help prevent scratching, denting, or other wear and tear that may occur over time. In short, washers for casters help extend the life of your equipment, saving you money in the long run.


This category offers all of the common washers used on Caster Wheels to secure and hold the bearing and spanner bushing inside the wheel. The washers used inside of the caster wheels hub are crucial for keeping the roller bearing in the caster wheels from falling out.


We offer Steel Flat Washers, Steel Retainer Washers, Plastic Retainer Washers, Thrust Washers, and Flanged Washers to name a few. Depending on the type of wheel material and application you may choose either a steel washer or plastic washer. For high-temperature applications and on steel core hub wheels, we recommend using a steel washer. For non-high-temperature applications, a plastic washer works great and is sometimes easier to install and remain in place.

When selecting washers for your caster applications, it is essential to consider factors such as material, size, and load capacity. CasterHQ offers a wide range of high-quality washers suitable for various caster types and applications. Trust us to provide washers for casters that enhance the performance, longevity, and reliability of your caster wheels. Shop today!
