Enclosure Casters
Enclosure casters are wheel assemblies installed at the base of electrical enclosures to provide mobility, flexibility, and ease of repositioning. They are commonly used on industrial control cabinets, automation enclosures, and freestanding electrical systems that require relocation for maintenance, layout changes, or equipment access. Properly selected casters support enclosure weight while maintaining stability and safety during operation.
RSP Supply offers a full range of enclosure casters in various sizes, materials, and load capacities to suit different applications and floor conditions. Heavy-duty casters are typically constructed from steel and incorporate ball bearings to support substantial loads while ensuring smooth rolling performance. Locking caster options allow enclosures to be securely positioned once placed, preventing unintended movement during use. Caster material and design vary based on the operating environment. Rubber and polyurethane casters provide quieter operation and protect sensitive or finished flooring, while industrial-grade casters are built to withstand moisture, chemicals, and temperature extremes. Swivel and directional caster configurations offer controlled maneuverability, allowing enclosures to move freely or maintain straight-line travel as required.
