CASTERS
Not all equipment or storage solutions in industry can sit stationary. The ability to move machinery, materials and merchandise around efficiently and safely is a critical requirement for operations across warehouses, distribution centres, factories, retail outlets and much more.
Casters provide the wheels to keep these operations moving. Mounted to racks, cabinets, frames, carts or directly to equipment casing, these components provide a vital function keeping the cogs of industry moving.
Sugatsune’s extensive range of casters are engineered with our characteristic commitment to quality and attention to detail. We supply casters with various load capacities and heights, as well as products designed for use in specific environments such as healthcare.
As with all Sugatsune components, our expert engineers pay diligent attention to both form and function, designing solutions that deliver durability, smooth motion and attractive appearance. Our casters are also versatile in terms of where and how they can be used, with the option to customize products for different environments by choosing different wheel materials for different floor surfaces, or by adding functions such as locking, braking and more.
Heavy Duty Casters
Our heavy duty casters are designed to bear large loads safely over long periods of time, with a maximum load capacity of 17150 N / 1750kgf available. Damper and bearing mechanisms help to reduce the starting force required even with the largest loads, while we offer a range of urethane, polyurethane, phenol and polyamide wheels which provide benefits such as anti-static, friction resistance, heat resistance and noise reduction during movement.
All of our heavy duty casters feature carburised and quenched main metal parts for outstanding durability and we also supply products with in-built shock absorption for added motion stability and wheel preservation even on uneven surfaces. Our dual brake system, meanwhile, is designed for easy operation with a large foot-operated lever and a visible indicator that shows when the brake is applied.
Single Wheel Casters
Our stainless steel single wheel casters are a popular general purpose solution. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant SUS304 steel, they are tough and hard wearing, ideal for use in humid environments such as laboratories, production floors, kitchens and more. They are suitable for loads up to 1176 N / 120kgf, with a choice of conductive rubber, anti-static urethane, polyurethane and polyamide wheels available. We offer swivel and non-swivel type varieties, and products that are thread-mounted and plate-mounted.
Our single wheel caster range also includes the PLN Design Caster, a unique hollow-wheeled concept with exceptional ball bearing-mounted smooth movement and long-axis swivel performance. The combination of smooth curved design and black or chrome plating make the PLN a perfect choice in environments where appearances matter, such as retail, hospitality or health and beauty.
Twin Wheel Casters
Doubling the wheels on a caster means increasing the load capacity, with our twin wheel casters capable of bearing up to 1960 N / 200kgf. The twin wheel structure also provides excellent stability and smooth motion.
Our extensive range of plate and thread-mounted twin wheel casters are particularly well suited to use in office and commercial environments, with a range of tasteful and attractive finishes available and varieties designed to deliver uninhibited movement on carpets and other interior floor surfaces.
Casters with Levelling Glides
Dual-function casters with in-built levelling glides are ideal for equipment that only needs to be moved occasionally. When stationary, the levelling glides can be screwed down to give the object long-lasting stability in situ. But if and when the unit needs to be moved again, the glides can be loosened and the equipment conveniently rolled wherever it needs to go.
Sugatsune supplies fully integrated casters with levelling glides, as well as a parts separable variety which allows the wheels to be attached and detached to the glides as required.
Ball Casters
Ball casters are suitable for lighter weight applications with maximum loads up to 392 N / 40kgf. The balls are manufactured from hard-wearing steel and provide convenient 360o motion for easy maneuvering. Sugatsune supplies surface mounted, recess mounted and thread mounted varieties.
Sliding Door Rollers
Rollers are the critical component in a sliding door system – the part that delivers the lateral movement required. Because of the way that sliding doors are suspended on their roller system, door rollers have to be capable of bearing heavy loads through repeated use over many years, without deterioration or degradation in movement.
Sugatsune’s sliding door rollers are designed and built for the most heavy duty industrial applications, with maximum loads of up to 27740 N / 2828kgf. We supply both bracket and non-bracket types, with products entirely made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ideal for use outdoors or in humid industrial environments.
