CasterHQ Engineering Tools

CasterHQ Engineering Tools are professional-grade calculators designed to help engineers, OEMs, and procurement teams select the correct caster load ratings and wheel materials.

These tools are built using conservative engineering assumptions and real-world industrial use cases. Outputs are intended for specification, RFQs, and validation—not marketing estimates.

Use the tools below to:

Calculate minimum load rating per caster
Select appropriate wheel materials based on floor, environment, and duty cycle
Generate clear, shareable specification summaries

Each tool is maintained by CasterHQ and updated as industry standards and applications evolve.
