Our airport casters are specially designed for use in unique operational environments at civil aviation airports, with core performance meeting high-strength, high-efficiency, high-safety and long-lasting usage standards.

Based on application scenarios and functional positioning, they are mainly divided into two major categories:
 

1. Airport Ground Handling & Cargo Equipment Casters
These are heavy-duty industrial casters fitted on various professional vehicles and equipment for airport ground support operations.
Core Advantages

• Super High Load Capacity: Engineered to bear loads ranging from hundreds of kilograms to several tons, ideal for fully loaded cargo containers, baggage trailers and airline catering trolleys.
• Superior Durability: Manufactured with high-strength materials including forged steel, premium nylon and polyurethane, they can withstand rough road surfaces, frequent impact and round-the-clock continuous operation.
• Smooth Mobility: Ensure effortless and stable movement even under heavy loads, adopting precision bearings and optimized wheel structural design.
• Strong Environmental Adaptability: Waterproof, corrosion-resistant and oil-proof, and adaptable to a wide temperature range. They can withstand outdoor apron conditions and exposure to various airport cleaning agents.
• Main Applications: Baggage conveyors, cargo lifting platforms, airline catering trolleys, unit load devices (ULDs), aircraft maintenance equipment and various ground handling service vehicles.
   

2. Passenger Luggage Casters
These are consumer-grade moving components installed on passenger carry-on luggage, which directly affect users' travel experience.
Core Advantages

• Flexible Movement: Adopting the mainstream 360° universal rotating design, enabling luggage to move freely in all directions for easy pulling instead of laborious carrying.
• Low Noise & Shock Absorption: Wheels made of high-elastic rubber, TPE and polyurethane roll silently on both flat and rough airport ground surfaces, effectively buffering vibration and protecting items inside luggage.
• Compact & Sturdy Structure: Most wheels adopt recessed or semi-hidden installation to reduce collision damage risks. Reinforced support structures resist rough handling during transit and daily wear and tear.

Material Grade Classification

• High-end grade: Polyurethane wheels with superior wear resistance and smooth rolling performance.
• Mainstream grade: Rubber and TPE wheels featuring quiet rolling and reliable shock absorption.
• Basic grade: Ordinary plastic wheels with low cost but poor overall using experience.

Double-row eight-wheel structures are gaining growing popularity thanks to better stability and obstacle-crossing performance. Meanwhile, bearing smoothness and service life have become key indicators to distinguish product grades.

We own a modern 6,000-square-meter production facility equipped with advanced automatic production equipment and a professional R&D team. The factory is divided into raw material processing, component production, product assembly and quality inspection workshops, forming a complete industrial production chain.

Every production procedure from steel raw material procurement and processing to caster assembly and commissioning is under strict supervision. Automated production equipment guarantees high product precision and consistent quality while greatly boosting production efficiency. Our professional R&D team keeps conducting technological innovation and product optimization, enabling us to quickly develop customized industrial steel casters per customer requirements. For instance, we can finish design drawing confirmation and sample production of special-specification industrial steel casters within four weeks to satisfy clients' urgent project demands.

Quality serves as the core competitiveness of our enterprise. We have established a full-process quality management system covering raw material incoming inspection to finished product delivery inspection.

At the raw material procurement stage, every batch of steel materials undergoes strict chemical composition analysis and physical property testing to comply with high-quality production standards. During production, high-precision testing devices are applied to monitor all production processes in real time. Common tests include hardness detection for caster components via hardness testers and wheel dynamic balance performance testing, so as to stabilize overall product quality. All finished products must pass comprehensive inspections such as load-bearing tests and abrasion resistance tests before factory delivery.

1. Baggage Transportation

• Passenger baggage trolleys: Combined with TPE wheels and metal frames, they feature strong load capacity, excellent impact resistance and high temperature resistance, suitable for frequent heavy-load handling work.
• Baggage trailers: Elastic wheels effectively buffer ground bumps to reduce vibration damage to luggage and equipment; low rolling resistance design saves pushing and pulling labor.
   

2. Cargo & Equipment Transportation

• Airport cargo trolleys: Applied for goods and equipment transit, with reliable heavy-duty performance to ensure cargo safety.
• ULD conveying systems: As core parts of non-powered conveying equipment, widely used in logistics distribution centers, bonded warehouses and airside logistics hubs.
   

3. Terminal Auxiliary Equipment
Cleaning trolleys and supply service trolleys can move flexibly in crowded terminal areas without causing noise disturbance. Tool transport vehicles are also fitted with our casters to guarantee safe delivery of maintenance tools and equipment.
 

4. Scissor Lift Platforms
Our airport casters are essential components of cargo loading and unloading scissor lift platforms, ensuring stable operation and operational safety.
 

5. Other Application Fields

• Aircraft supporting equipment: Silent aviation wheels made of rubber deliver stable support and quiet operation.
• Intelligent robots: Our casters are also widely used on robots and other devices requiring frequent steering adjustment.

1.High Durability & Heavy Load Capacity

Ultra-high-strength structure: Heavy-duty and extra-heavy-duty structural design with wheel brackets mostly made of thick die-cast or forged steel plates with reinforcement treatment.
Large-diameter wheel design: Common wheel sizes range from 5-inch (125mm) to 8-inch (200mm) and above. Larger wheels easily cross ground joints and small barriers, lowering rolling resistance and extending service life.

2.High-Precision Bearings

Equipped with roller bearings and high-precision ball bearings to ensure smooth rolling under heavy loads and long-term stable use.

3.Ultra-Quiet & Smooth Rolling Performance

• Silent material application: Adopting high-grade polyurethane and other elastic materials to absorb rolling vibration, realizing nearly silent movement on flat ground and maintaining a quiet airport public environment.
• Optimized rolling resistance: Matched precision wheels and bearings allow easy pushing of fully loaded baggage carts and greatly improve user experience.

4.Floor-Friendly Performance

• Scratch-free design: Non-marking wheel materials such as light-colored polyurethane will never leave black traces or scratches on high-grade marble, granite and epoxy floors.
• Moderate elasticity: Proper material softness avoids floor abrasion caused by rigid materials like pure nylon.

5.Special Functional & Safety Designs

• Reliable braking system: Directional lock fixes casters for straight-line movement; total brake locks both steering and rolling functions to prevent slipping and tipping risks on ramps and elevator entrances.
• Shck absorption & stable operation: High-quality casters buffer road bumps effectively, preventing luggage overturning and protecting supplies inside airline catering trolleys.
• Flame retardant property: Some casters matched with aircraft peripheral equipment such as catering trolleys and cargo handling gear meet professional aviation fire safety standards.

6.Powerful Environmental Adaptability

• Weather resistance: Casters used in outdoor baggage handling areas can resist extreme temperature changes, long-term sun exposure and rain erosion.
• Chemical resistance: Resist corrosion from commonly used airport cleaning agents, deicing agents and oil stains.
