THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP IS PROPER MAINTENANCE ITSELF
Users are responsible for the proper operation and maintenance of the manual material handling equipment they use. Some equipment will quickly become damaged and unsafe if abused or subjected to improper demands. If equipment is regularly maintained and not abused, you will get the maximum safety and service performance from your casters.
Plate Casters:
Plate casters are attached to rolling equipment with a flat rectangular plate that has 4 bolt holes in the corners of the plate. They are bolted or screwed in place. When ordering three measurements are important: 1. The bolt hole pattern, the distance between the centerlines of the bolt holes 2. The outside perimeter dimensions of the plate.
