Take a look at your shopping cart casters

Are your shopping carts ready?

The fall shopping season is upon us. 


To make sure that you order the correct replacement wheels for your shopping cart, here is a helpful chart to show you the different measurements:




1 Overall Height - The vertical distance between the floor and the mounting plane of the equipment. 

2 Offset - The horizontal distance between vertical center lines through the kingpin and the wheel center. (Not shown in diagram) 

3 Swivel Radius - The horizontal distance from the vertical centerline of the kingpin to the outside edge of the wheel tread. This dimension specifies the minimum distance required for the caster to swivel 360° when mounted. 

4 Wheel Diameter 

5 Tread Width

You can find more information on wheel materials for different surfaces here.
