Question: Why do you charge a restocking
fee? Answer: What some customers
don't understand is that most of our products are made to order. The
casters are assembled on an order by order basis. They are not sitting on a
shelf in the warehouse assembled. When products are returned, they must be
un-assembled and the parts returned to inventory. There is a cost
involved for that labor.

carpet.

Question: What type of wheel do I use for
hardwood floors? Answer: Caster rule
of thumb: use a hard wheel on carpet and a soft wheel on hard floor surfaces.
Wheels like Polyurethane or Rubber will work best on hardwood floors. Rubber is
the best, however, if you must also roll over carpet, then we recommend
polyurethane which is compatible with both.

Question: I'm putting the casters on a storage
unit. What type of wheel do I need? Answer: Caster Wheels that are left in the same
place for long periods of time with heavy weights may develope a flat spot
depending on the wheel material. The harder the wheel material the less likely
it is to go flat. Very hard wheels like Phenolic or Steel are recommended for
heavy storage applications. When designing your application, choose a caster
where the entire weight of the application can be supported by one caster. By
doing this, each caster is only "working" at 25% of it's capacity and flat
spots due to storage will most likely be avoided.

Question: I need casters
for my workbench. What do you suggest? Answer: Our
Total
Locking Casters are excellent for this application. They lock both the
swivel and the wheel. We also recommend these casters for woodworking tools
such as table saws, radial arm saws, drill presses, etc.

Page
Question: Is "Capacity" for one caster or four
casters? Answer: Our "Capacity"
specifications are for a single caster or wheel. If you are using 4 casters,
the total capacity would be 4 times our stated capacity. Example: A chair
caster with a maximum capacity of 80 lbs would have a maximum capacity of 400
lbs if 5 were used on a chair.
