It's the age old problem! There is something heavy to move at work, it's got to be relocated, so do you stop and think about it or just get on with the job? In the United Kingdom nearly a third of all injuries reported in the work place, are from a direct result of incorrect manual handling, requiring days off work and costing the economy millions! Castor wheels Sydney are at the forefront of equipment development to ensure heavy loads can be moved with ease and without stress to an employee's backs or spines. Within the industry of Manual Handling there is a huge variety of sack trucks, trolleys, fork lift trucks, mobile platforms and steps, all requiring suitable castors and wheels for ease of movement. Its often worthwhile a company investing in such equipment to save time and money and to adhere to strict health and safety laws.
However, the world of manual handling equipment can be a daunting one and companies need to ensure they choose the correct equipment for the job in hand. Not only do they need to consider using handling aids, but often a crucial decision to make, is the choice of castors for the equipment. Getting the right castors and wheels specified can have a huge impact on the ease of movement of a heavy load or piece of equipment. Equally over-specifying the castors may be unnecessarily costly.
There are several factors in choosing castors and wheels that need to be taken into account. These include the floor surface, the weight of the item to be moved, the style and design of the castors, the fittings and the type of wheel or tire. There is an old saying that says 'hard wheels for soft floors and soft wheels for hard floors!' Say for example you have a piece of equipment to move in an office environment with carped floors.
The best castors for the job would be ones with a hard wheel, such a nylon wheel or hard plastic castorsSydney. Conversely in a warehouse environment with a hard concrete floor, the castor that would reduce the amount of vibration when moving the heavy load would be a castor with a softer polyurethane wheel or rubber wheel. In external situations, such as in garden centers, these trolleys move our plant purchase on castors housing pneumatic, or air filled wheels, for smooth maneuverability.
