The hotel and related hospitality industries use some unique and standard casters for luggage carts and other carts. These casters are ideal for the hospitality industry and maneuver easily in elevators while providing an attractive appearance for this industry.  The type of casters on these carts depends on the type of flooring, the capacity and the mobility of the caster, while maintaining the strength and durability.

Casters with a polished zinc, brass, or chrome finish are typically found on upscale hotel luggage carts and can vary based on the customer’s preference and specific application. Options for cart casters include choice of wheel material, wheel bearings, fastener type, and rigid and swivel models.  Most of the casters can be ordered with brakes of various types as well, from foot levelers and switches, total brake, and VertiLoc brake on pneumatic casters. There are different types of wheels with some choices of two different 8” black soft rubber wheels.  The super cushion rubber wheel has a round tire which enables it to roll easily when on carpet and to change direction easily.  The super cushion wheel provides resilience similar to an air filled wheel without having the maintenance often required of Pneumatic wheels.   There is also the air filled Pneumatic wheels which is a popular choice for lighter loads and for use on rough floor surfaces such as cobblestone, concrete.

All pneumatic wheels have ball bearings. Wheel brakes are an option on all swivel pneumatic casters.  For the pneumatic caster, overall height and capacity vary depending on air pressure and the weight involved.  Capacity ratings are based on use in a manual operation at air pressure indicated.  Consult your experienced and knowledgeable staff at California Caster if speed is to be above 3 mph for further information. Selection should never be on the basis of load capacity alone.  Capacity ratings do not take into account the effort required to manually move or push a load.  Capacity ratings are based on manual operation under ideal conditions.  If these casters are going to be moved by mechanically powered equipment, consult us for a reduced capacity rating based on your application.
