There are many types of casters, such as furniture casters, industrial casters, and medical casters. Today we will look at the characteristics of medical casters.
Medical casters are typically used in clean, quiet environments like hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. Generally, medical casters use TPR or TPE for treads and usually adopt silent bearings. Therefore, they have a mute function and cannot leave marks on the floor.
Furthermore, medical casters are more visually appealing than industrial casters. For instance, the wheels are generally gray in color. Typically, brackets are made of plastic, stainless steel or chrome plates. The brake pedal is normally made of plastic. As a result, the wheels and the entire medical environment will be uniformly colored. Furthermore, medical casters should be easy to clean and disinfect.
A medical caster can be divided into twin-wheeled and single-wheeled casters based on its wheel structure. Medical casters are generally more expensive than conventional casters because they use independent total brakes or central control brakes. The metal processing process requires a higher level of surface treatment because environmentally friendly materials are used.

Customers often go to other manufacturers to compare prices after receiving a quote from us, and then choose the lower price. For the same caster, each company produces different materials and costs. Low and high prices have their own reasons, and high prices also have their own reasons, which cannot be compared purely based on price alone.
