Shock-absorbing casters reduce factory noise levels from carts

Caster Concepts offers CasterShoX™ shock-absorbing casters. According to the manufacturer, the casters help reduce factory noise levels from carts by as much as 15 dbA (90 percent) and reduce shock loads by up to 80 percent.

They can be used with no major modification to carts, since the ultracompact design allows for the shock-absorbing technology to fit within the current caster wheel footprint.

Two standard sizes are available — 6 by 2 in. and 8 by 2 in. — to handle 500 to 1,500 lbs. per wheel. They can be treaded with polyurethane from 70A to 70D. Glass-filled nylon wheels also are available.
