Medical Caster Manufacturers & Suppliers
Medical Caster Introduction
Medical Casters are mobility components designed for hospital equipment, clinical furniture, and medical devices that require controlled movement, low operating noise, and stable positioning. As Medical Caster manufacturers and suppliers, we produce Casters for healthcare equipment using engineering materials selected according to load capacity, floor conditions, cleaning requirements, and operating environments.
Compared with general industrial Casters, medical Casters focus on:
- ✓ Smooth rolling on hospital flooring
- ✓ Low noise during movement
- ✓ Easy cleaning and disinfection
- ✓ Controlled braking performance
- ✓ Floor protection
- ✓ Stable swivel movement
- ✓ Corrosion resistance for cleaning environments
A medical Caster typically consists of the following components:
- • Wheel tread (TPR, Polyurethane, Nylon, Rubber, Conductive materials)
- • Wheel core (PP, Nylon, Aluminum Alloy)
- • Fork housing (Cold rolled steel or Stainless Steel)
- • Precision ball bearing or plain bearing
- • Swivel raceway
- • Brake mechanism (Total lock / Wheel lock / Directional lock)
- • Thread stem, plate, bolt hole or grip ring stem mounting
Medical Casters are commonly installed on:

Medical Caster Installation
Medical Casters can be installed using different mounting methods depending on equipment design.
Top Plate Installation
- Hospital beds
- Equipment carts
- Medical cabinets
Fastened using four bolts through the mounting plate.
Threaded Stem Installation
