How to Make Big Machines Mobile, Without Sacrificing Precision

If you work with big industrial machinery, you probably know how difficult it is to move the equipment around the floor. When it comes time to rearrange the floor for greater efficiency, or when you want to buy or sell some equipment, moving machines becomes a whole huge production, requiring all kinds of manpower to lift and carry a heavy piece of equipment.

You run the risk of dropping and damaging the machine, and you lose out on precious manpower time from moving stuff around. Luckily, there’s a way for you to make your machines mobile without losing out on precision and accuracy.

Leveling Casters

The solution is to install a set of leveling casters on your machines. You might be skeptical, worried that casters will make your equipment lie off-kilter on the floor. This might be a concern with sub-par casters, which is why many people prefer to lug the machines around the old-fashioned way without putting casters on their equipment.

With leveling casters, however, there is a leveling mechanism built in that will lift or lower the equipment where the caster is attached, ensuring that everything will remain perfectly level even though you have four casters attached.

Stay on the Level


With the use of leveling casters, you can move a piece of equipment safely and easily anywhere on your work floor, and once it’s placed exactly where you want it, you can adjust the leveling to make sure that the machine is sitting perfectly flat on the floor. You’ll finally be able to achieve the dream of having an easily movable piece of equipment that also sits perfectly level on the floor, reducing the man hours lost moving stuff around and reducing the chance of breaking delicate machinery.
