So, What’s the Difference between a Wheel and a Caster?

We all know what a wheel is, right? It is one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind! It makes things move. It allows things to progress. It brings life with it wherever it goes. Of course there have been other technological advancements since, but the wheel still stands strong as one of the most important. As people and their needs change over time, so do their tools. You may be thinking, “How could the wheel have changed?” It evolved and became more specialized.  So, what’s the difference between a wheel and a caster?

A caster may sound foreign to you; however, you've definitely experienced them on your trip to the supermarket or even at your job—think shopping carts and office chairs. In essence, a caster is an undriven, single or double wheel that is designed to be attached to large objects so they can be moved easily. They can spin. They can go in any direction. They can do things that a regular wheel cannot do!

If you want to experience what a caster can do, consider mounting them to your toolbox, or piano, in order to make them easier to move. Casters can make moving to a new house easier, and they can even make your job in the kitchen more manageable. They can be used for so many things! Although a wheel and a caster are incredibly similar, they serve different purposes. If you want to learn more about caster wheels, caster parts, and caster carts, visit AccessCaster.com today!
