The LINCO Company has been manufacturing and selling road case casters for more than 40 years. As a company, we pride ourselves on quality and customer service. We strive to make our casters affordable while maintaining high standards that exceed all expectations. With this in mind, we've put together a list of what we believe are 5 of the best road case casters currently available on the market.
What Are Road Case Casters and What Do They Do?
Road case casters, also known as road case wheels, are casters that are made specifically to withstand the stresses of constant transporting and moving. They can be attached or removed quickly without tools. Road case caster may be one with a wheel on each end for lower stability or two-seater casters equipped with two swivel wheels at one end and a fixed wheel on the other. The casters are designed to be ergonomic, durable, and easy to maneuver through tight spaces.
Road case casters are available in almost any size. When choosing road case casters, consider the weight of your road case, its contents, or what it will be carrying most often for balanced weight distribution. Lighter cases usually benefit from more lightweight casters, while heavy-duty road cases might need heavier-duty casters. As a rule of thumb, if the road case caster wheel has an oversize hub or oversize axle, it can carry more weight, but casters small in diameter may be easier to maneuver.
