Wheel selection is where most caster specs go wrong. Load rating tells you what can hold the weight. Wheel material determines what actually works in your environment: rolling resistance, floor damage, noise, chemical survival, temperature performance, and how fast the wheel degrades.
Use this selector to choose wheel material based on your constraints in the right order:
This tool outputs a primary recommendation, a good alternate, and a what to avoid note so you can confidently spec wheels for RFQs, maintenance replacements, and OEM builds.
Prioritizes constraints first (chemicals/washdown/temperature), then floor condition, then noise & floor protection. Outputs a primary recommendation, a good alternate, and a “when to avoid” note.
