Avoiding Wayward Wheel Syndrome

No matter whether you have shopping trolleys or manual handling trolleys in your workplace, there is a good chance that many of them will have wheels that have a mind of their own. This may seem like only a small problem when customers are trying to get their shopping done, but in the workplace when tasks need to be completely quickly, effectively and safely, a wayward wheel can become a far bigger problem.

And yet, solving such a problem can be extremely easy, and not only might buying single industrial wheels help you to remove the bad eggs, but actually replacing all your trolley wheels for brand new industrial casters could improve any handling equipment greatly.

Newer and more effective industrial casters will not only ensure that you do not have wayward wheels causing you problems, but better wheels will also help such equipment move more smoothly, take bumps and ridges more easily and more safely, and could even simply increase the speed with which tasks can be carried out.

Having wayward wheels can suddenly jar a trolley and if things are not secured extremely well, such a nudge could be enough to totally upend certain pieces of handling equipment. Not only can wonky wheels send your trolley off in an unexpected direction, potentially causing you to bump into expensive items, but they can also simply lock up, potentially dislodging items from where they should be, or even just slowing your pace in a best case scenario.

The cost of replacing industrial wheels and the time it will take to do so are both extremely slight, but by doing so you could very quickly increase productivity and safety and simply reduce the frustration that ineffective trolleys can produce. So be sure to check wheels regularly, and remember just how easy it will be to remedy such a problem.
