Caster Concepts Offers Industry-Leading Shock Absorbing Casters - CasterShoX

ALBION, Mich. - April 9, 2018 - PRLog -- Per the US Department of Labor via the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), hearing loss is the second most common injury in the workplace. During an eight-hour workday, employees must be exposed to no more than 90 decibels of noise. In many facilities, and especially in manufacturing facilities, rolling carts and racks account for a great deal of the noise. CasterShoX shock-absorbing casters are designed to minimize noise and reduce jarring, thereby promoting safety in the workplace.

What Are CasterShoX Casters?

CasterShoX casters are available only from Caster Concepts. They offer a variety of features designed to reduce risk in the workplace, ranging from a fully-enclosed shock absorption system that is integrated into the caster's very core to an elastomer spring that dampens vibration and jarring. These casters have a lightweight aluminum housing, but they can bear loads of up to 1500 pounds each. Thanks to the precision sealed ball bearings, they are also maintenance-free.

CasterShoX vs. Traditional Spring-Loaded Casters

Traditional spring-loaded casters have been the primary contender for shock absorption for many years. While they can certainly reduce the impact of shocks via a metal spring that expands and contracts until the energy from the shock dissipates, the springs are not part of the wheels themselves. This means that they will continue to spread the vibration to the cart and its contents, which does very little to reduce noise.

CasterShoX, on the other hand, are designed to provide the very best in shock absorption and noise reduction. Because the shock absorption system is built into the sealed housing of the wheel itself, the vibration and movement associated with shock does not transfer to the cart and its contents. Rather than a metal spring, CasterShoX contain elastomer springs, which dampens and dissipates vibration far more quickly. This provides superior noise reduction and improves safety.

Are CasterShoX Right for You?

CasterShoX are designed to provide two main benefits – noise reduction and less transfer of vibration and movement to the contents of a cart or rack. If you are concerned about noise levels in the workplace, if your carts contain fragile objects, or if your carts contain potentially unsafe materials that could shift when rolled over obstacles, CasterShoX are the perfect solution. Like other products from Caster Concepts, CasterShoX were also designed to be user-friendly, ergonomic, and long-lasting. http://www.casterconcepts.com/
