We’ve all experienced that moment of disappointment when attempting to roll an office chair on the wrong surface. The chair wheels catch on some high-pile carpet and you fall over in a lump of agony. Or maybe it’s not that bad. Maybe the mail cart just thunders and wobbles along down a carpeted hallway on the wrong type of wheel for the application.

Both scenarios are not acceptable.

For furniture like office chairs and mail carts, the wrong caster on carpeted flooring can slow down and annoy even the most resolute. So don’t let the wrong casters get you down.

CasterDepot carries all the best casters and wheels for easy rolling on carpeted floors. Here are some of our favorite casters and wheels for carpeted flooring.

In the world of casters, there are no right or wrong answers. Just solutions. For a lot of our clients, the more traditional standard mount (roll-y side down) suits their needs the best. But there are exceptions to the general rule. For example,  Albion’s Conveyor Caster, among others, is reverse mounted (roll-y side up) for best operation.

Regardless of how you roll, CasterDepot likes to see how people use our casters creatively. Take a look at what our customer did with some Shepherd casters. Continue reading →

 When FootMaster created the now industry-standard GD leveling caster, its main uses were for applications where casters either wouldn't typically be a feasible option, or where casters were used with independent levelers. Part of their original engineering process aimed to simplify top plate options.

So when creating a top plate option for their GD series casters, they used a square bolt pattern that set the leveling pad in the center of its faceplate.  

CasterDepot is growing!

With its recent acquisition of Bastian Solutions' caster and wheel Division, CasterDepot has a new Indianapolis stocking sales center. Continue reading →
