China Manufacturer Directory >>Furniture Wheels

Furniture wheels are the rolling part of a caster assembly that provides movement to furniture. Wheels are an important part of the caster’s complete structure, affecting its mobility. Overall caster performance depends on the diameter of a caster wheel.

Furniture wheels are made from a variety of materials including hard, moldon, or soft rubber, phenolic, polyolefin, polypropylene, and polyurethane. Since furniture wheels are designed to accommodate different loads and functions, factors such as average and maximum load, floor surface, wheel diameter, hand pushing involvement (as in a tea cart, for example), swivel or rigid casters, and mounting of casters are important considerations.

Consulting furniture wheel manufacturers or expert distributors, will produce the correct wheel for a particular piece of furniture and its common function. Custom options are another possibility.
