Hospital Bed Casters

A: This medical trolley wheel has a load capacity of 60 kg per caster. With the dual-wheel configuration, load is distributed across two wheels - providing enhanced stability and even wear. For medical trolleys with four casters, the total capacity is 240 kg. However, please note that the effective load per caster should be calculated as Total Load ÷ 3 (allowing for uneven weight distribution) rather than Total Load ÷ 4.

A: A wheel brake (Posi-Lock Brake) locks only the wheel (preventing rolling) while the swivel mechanism remains free to rotate - allowing directional adjustment even when the brake is engaged. This is ideal for applications where equipment needs to stay in position but may need to be reoriented without releasing the brake. A total lock brake locks both the wheel and the swivel, completely fixing the caster in position. Choose wheel brake for directional flexibility while stationary; choose total lock brake for complete stationary security.

A: The dual-wheel design provides several advantages for medical trolleys: Enhanced stability - wider footprint reduces tipping risk, especially for tall or narrow trolleys; Better load distribution - weight is spread across two wheels, reducing stress on each wheel and extending service life; Improved floor protection - wider contact area reduces pressure on floor surfaces; Smoother rolling - dual wheels handle floor imperfections better than single wheels. These characteristics make dual-wheel casters the preferred choice for medical trolleys, equipment stands, and carts that must remain stable during movement.

A: TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) is the preferred material for medical casters because: Silent operation - soft tread significantly reduces rolling noise, promoting patient rest; Floor protection - non-marking material protects hospital flooring, reducing maintenance costs; Easy cleaning - smooth surface resists dirt buildup and is easy to sanitize; Softness - provides some shock absorption, smoothing out floor imperfections. These characteristics make TPR the ideal choice for healthcare environments where patient comfort and hygiene are paramount.

A: This medical trolley wheel is available in 2-inch, 2.5-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch diameters. The 2-inch option (featured here) offers the lowest load height (66mm), ideal for low-profile medical trolleys, stretchers, and equipment where minimal height is required. Larger sizes provide better rolling efficiency over floor transitions and higher load heights - please contact our sales team for recommendations based on your specific trolley design.

A: This wheel uses top plate mounting - a flat metal plate with bolt holes that attaches to the bottom of the trolley or equipment frame. This provides secure attachment and is the standard mounting method for medical trolleys, carts, and equipment. Please contact our sales team for detailed plate dimension specifications.

A: Yes. Anti-static, static dissipative, and conductive options are available for medical applications requiring static control - such as operating rooms, ICU environments, or electronic medical equipment. Our sales team can recommend the appropriate wheel material and configuration based on your specific ESD requirements.

A: Single-wheel features one wheel on a single fork - lighter, more maneuverable, and suitable for lighter equipment. Dual-wheel features two wheels side by side - providing enhanced stability, better load distribution, and smoother rolling. Dual-wheel is the preferred choice for medical trolleys, equipment stands, and carts where stability is a priority. Choose single-wheel for maneuverability and weight savings; choose dual-wheel for stability and load distribution.

A: Xingteng holds ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management certification, TUV Product Certification for multiple product series, and RoHS 2.0 environmental compliance. We are also a recognized AA-level "Contract-Honoring and Credit-Worthy Enterprise" in Zhejiang Province.

A: Yes. With over 30 years of manufacturing experience and in-house engineering capabilities, we offer custom medical caster solutions including: special load capacities, custom mounting plates, specific load heights, and application-specific configurations. Contact our sales team to discuss your requirements.

A: The 66mm low load height provides: Easy patient access - trolleys sit lower to the ground, making patient transfers easier and safer; Low center of gravity - enhanced stability, especially valuable for tall trolleys or equipment with heavy loads; Ergonomic working height - maintains proper working height for medical staff; Improved storage - trolleys with low load height can be stored more compactly. This low-profile design is particularly important for surgical trolleys, stretchers, and equipment used in tight spaces.

A: Standard lead time is typically 20-45 days depending on order quantity, size specification, and wheel configuration. For urgent requirements, please contact our sales team for expedited options. Large-volume orders may require additional lead time - we will confirm exact timing at the time of order placement.
