Hero Section

Engineered for the Demands of Data Centers

Server cabinets and network racks require mobility solutions that go far beyond standard casters. From high center-of-gravity stability to strict noise and vibration control, every detail matters. With over 30 years of caster manufacturing experience, TENG® delivers custom-engineered mobility solutions that meet the most rigorous testing standards in the industry.

The Challenges in Data Center Cabinet Mobility

Data center equipment manufacturers face unique challenges when selecting casters for server racks, network cabinets, and power distribution units:

Challenge	Impact
High center of gravity	Tall, loaded cabinets are prone to tipping during movement
Noise and vibration	Rolling noise and vibration can disturb sensitive equipment
Static electricity	Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components
Frequent locking/unlocking	Brake reliability is critical for safe positioning
Floor protection	Heavy cabinets must not damage raised access floors
Long-term creep	Static loads at elevated temperatures can deform wheels over time
Impact resistance	Cabinets must withstand accidental impacts during installation

Standard casters are not designed for these conditions. Data center cabinet mobility requires a purpose-built solution.

Our Approach: Custom-Engineered Mobility Solutions

We don't sell off-the-shelf casters. We engineer solutions.

Approach	What It Means
Application-specific design	Every caster is engineered for the specific load, height, and environment of the cabinet
Custom materials	We select and develop specialized compounds for low creep, high impact resistance, and ESD safety
Purpose-built testing	We design and build custom testing equipment to validate performance under real-world conditions
Full traceability	From raw material to finished product, every component is traceable and verifiable

Testing Capabilities: Meeting Global Standards

Data center cabinet casters must perform under extreme conditions - and different markets have different standards. We have the capability to test and validate our casters against multiple international and regional standards, ensuring compliance wherever your equipment is deployed.

Compliance with Global Industry Standards

We can test and certify our casters to meet the requirements of:

Standard	Region / Organization	Description
ANSI/ICWM	USA	American National Standards Institute / Institute of Caster and Wheel Manufacturers
EN Standards	Europe	European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
GB Standards	China	Chinese National Standards
ISO Standards	International	International Organization for Standardization
Customer-Specific Standards	Global	We can adapt to your company's internal testing protocols

Whether your equipment is destined for North America, Europe, Asia, or other regions, we can validate performance against the relevant standard - or work with you to define a custom testing protocol.

Specialized Testing for Data Center Conditions

Beyond standard compliance, we perform a range of specialized tests to validate caster performance under real-world data center conditions. All tests can be customized to meet your specific requirements.

Test	What We Test	Our Capability
Salt Spray Test	Corrosion resistance of surface finishes	72-hour standard; extended or customized surface treatments available
Creep Test	Dimensional stability under sustained load at elevated temperatures	Up to 1.7 tons; equipment adjustable for higher loads
Static Test	Structural integrity under static load	Hydraulic press up to tons
Impact Test	Resistance to accidental impacts during installation and relocation	Ton-level impact force
Dynamic Test	Load-bearing and durability under dynamic rolling conditions	Programmable speed, load, obstacle count, and cycle timing (e.g., a typical test might simulate loaded movement at a set speed with repeated obstacles and defined run/rest cycles)
Rollability Test	Force required to push/pull the caster on inclines	Measured in Newtons or kgf; customized to slope angle and floor type
Rolling Movement Test	Real-world rolling performance across different floor conditions	Includes ramp pushing, obstacle crossing, floor joint crossing, step-down, and concrete floor testing

In-House Testing Equipment

To meet these demanding requirements, we have designed and built custom testing equipment - including a dedicated high-temperature creep testing machine, a hydraulic static load press, and a programmable dynamic testing rig. This enables us to validate caster performance under conditions that standard testing equipment cannot replicate.

This capability is rare in the caster industry. It means we can prove performance before our customers commit.

Custom Material Development

Standard caster materials are not enough for data center environments. We develop and source specialized materials designed to meet specific performance criteria:

Material Requirement	Why It Matters
Low creep resistance	Prevents wheel deformation under long-term static loads at elevated temperatures
High impact strength	Withstands accidental impacts during cabinet installation and relocation
ESD safety	Prevents electrostatic discharge that can damage sensitive electronics
Low rolling resistance	Reduces effort required to move heavy cabinets
Noise and vibration dampening	Protects sensitive equipment and maintains a quiet data center environment
Floor protection	Non-marking, non-damaging to raised access floors

We work with material suppliers and our in-house engineering team to develop compounds that meet these requirements - and we test them to verify performance.

Traceability and Reliability

For data center equipment manufacturers, traceability is not optional - it is a requirement. We manage reliability and traceability through a fully integrated digital system - not paper-based records.

Our operations are built on ERP + MES (Manufacturing Execution System) + APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) , connected through a QR-code-based smart IoT management system. Every caster, component, and production batch is tracked in real time across the entire manufacturing process.

Traceability Element	How We Ensure It
Raw material traceability	Every batch of raw material is documented and linked to its supplier and incoming inspection records
Production process tracking	Each production run is recorded in MES with machine parameters, operator
Component traceability	Every molded, stamped, and assembled component is linked to its production batch via QR code
Quality documentation	Inspection results, test data, and material certificates are archived in the system and retrievable by batch number
Finished product traceability	Every finished caster can be traced back through its entire production history - from raw material to final inspection

This digital infrastructure covers production processes, daily output, piece-rate records, equipment management, mold management, order management, warehouse management, financial management, procurement, and BOM development - all within one integrated system.

The result: when you receive a Xingteng caster, you can trust it - and prove it. Every batch is documented, every component is traceable, and every quality checkpoint is verifiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why are nylon wheels commonly used for data center cabinet casters?

A: Data center cabinets are typically heavy and remain stationary for extended periods - sometimes under load at elevated temperatures. Under these conditions, wheel materials can gradually deform, a phenomenon known as creep. Nylon (PA) wheels offer superior dimensional stability under sustained load, high load capacity, and excellent resistance to creep deformation, making them ideal for heavy, long-stationary cabinets. For lighter cabinets or applications requiring quieter rolling and maximum floor protection, PU or TPR wheels may be more suitable.

Q2: What is high-temperature creep testing and why does it matter?

A: Creep is the slow deformation of a material under sustained load. In data centers, cabinets may remain stationary under load for extended periods - sometimes at elevated temperatures. High-temperature static creep testing verifies that our wheels maintain their dimensional stability and load-bearing performance over time, preventing deformation that could affect cabinet stability or mobility. We have designed and built a dedicated high-temperature creep testing machine to validate performance under these demanding conditions.

Q3: What testing standards and capabilities do your data center casters meet?

A: We can test and validate our casters against multiple international and regional standards, including ANSI/ICWM (USA), EN (Europe), GB (China), and ISO (International) - as well as customer-specific internal standards. Our specialized testing capabilities include salt spray, creep, static, impact, dynamic, rollability, and rolling movement tests. All tests can be customized to meet your specific requirements.

Q4: Can you provide anti-static or conductive casters for data centers?

A: Yes. We offer anti-static, static dissipative, and conductive caster options for data center environments where electrostatic discharge is a concern. Our sales team can recommend the appropriate material and configuration based on your specific ESD requirements.
