The Importance of Clean Floors with Caster Use


Caster wheels are often used in offices under chairs, desks, carts and file cabinets. Cleaning floors regularly is a discipline that can lengthen the life of your floors and caster wheels, as well as protect employees.

Protecting Floors and Employees

Maintain floors and ensure surface areas are smooth by removing debris and repairing damaged areas. There should always be a clear path, which will allow chairs, cabinets and other furniture with wheels to be easily maneuvered. 

If you are in an office or warehouse where the floor is continually littered with debris, pneumatic caster wheels have shocks that make for easy maneuvering. Pneumatic caster wheels demand less exertion to move. As an added bonus, this type of wheel will roll well if you need to take any equipment outdoors and move over different types of terrain.

Problems Cause by Debris

Small items on the ground often act as brakes and require more physical exertion to roll over. The first instinct when running over small items may be to use more force to roll over the item. Depending on how heavy of a load one is pushing, this can result in adding serious strain. By making sure nothing is in the way, you protect employees.
