Nowadays we can find a huge range of pneumatic castors for the agricultural, industrial and construction fields. Choosing the right one depends on a number of factors that we will explain below. We will also tell you about the best combination of forks and pneumatic wheels available in our Ruedas Alex catalogue.
Pneumatic castors advantages
The main benefit of using industrial pneumatic wheels is the shock absorption of the bumps we can find in the road compared to the solid wheels. This implies a more comfortable and stable travelling combined with a better grip. All these advantages allow us to protect our load as much as possible.
How to choose the right pneumatic castor
“OK, there are several different types of pneumatic wheels, but, which is the right one for me?” That’s the main question we have, when looking for a mobility solution for our activity. The right answer depends on different factors:
- What will the castor be used for? For an industry or industrial site? For a construction site? For an agricultural use? For boat towing adn the boat industry?
