When purchasing a swivel plate caster like the Colson® 2 Series, consider factors such as the weight capacity, wheel material, and overall dimensions to ensure compatibility with your specific application.

Additionally, check for features like bearing type and swivel functionality to guarantee smoother operation and durability under stress.
What size wheel should I choose for my application?
The right wheel size depends on the weight of the items being moved and the floor surface. For heavy loads over uneven surfaces, a larger wheel, such as the 5-inch diameter of the Colson® 2 Series, is typically more effective as it rolls more easily and reduces the effort required to move the load.
How do I attach the caster to my equipment?
Attaching the Colson® 2 Series Swivel Plate Caster is straightforward. Align the holes in the caster plate with those on the mounting surface of your equipment. Use appropriate screws or bolts to secure the caster firmly in place, ensuring that it is mounted at a right angle to the surface for optimal stability and performance.
What is the difference between swivel and rigid casters?
Swivel casters, like the Colson® 2 Series, allow for 360-degree rotation, providing enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. Rigid casters, on the other hand, only move in a straight line. The choice between the two depends on your specific needs; swivel casters are excellent for versatility, while rigid casters provide more stable tracking on flat surfaces.
