READ MOREDifferent types of wheels have a significant impact on the performance of a platform cart. Here is the performance and impact of rubber, plastic and metal wheels on push cart dolly:
Rubber wheel:
Shock Absorption: The rubber wheels have better shock absorption effect and can provide smoother operation on uneven or rough ground.
Quietness: Rubber wheels are generally quiet when moving and are suitable for use in environments where low-noise operation is required.
Grip: Due to the elasticity of rubber wheels, they have a stronger grip on the ground, helping to prevent slipping or skidding.
Wear: Rubber wheels will wear under high load or prolonged use and require regular inspection and replacement.
Plastic wheel:
Wear resistance: Plastic wheels are generally more wear-resistant than rubber wheels, especially those using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or nylon materials.
Corrosion resistance: Plastic wheels have a high resistance to chemicals and moisture and are suitable for use in humid or chemical environments.
Noise: Plastic wheels may produce loud noise when used on hard ground and are not suitable for places that require a quiet environment.
Load Capacity: Plastic wheels generally have a lower load capacity than metal wheels, but are suitable for lighter loads.
Metal wheels (such as steel wheels or aluminum wheels):
Durability: Metal wheels are very durable, suitable for use in heavy loads and harsh environments, and are not easily deformed or damaged.
Load Capacity: Metal wheels generally have a higher load capacity and can handle heavier loads.
Noise and Vibration: Metal wheels may produce greater noise and vibration when rolling on hard ground, so when used on uneven or rough ground, it may affect the comfort of operation.
Maintenance: Metal wheels may require additional lubrication and maintenance to prevent rust and wear.
The size and shape of a push cart dolly have an important impact on its maneuverability and storage. Here are some of the main considerations:
The impact of size on maneuverability:
Platform area: A larger platform area provides more carrying space and is suitable for carrying larger or irregular items. However, a platform that is too large may make it difficult to maneuver, especially in a small space.
Height: The height of the platform affects the convenience of loading and unloading items. A lower platform height is suitable for frequent loading and unloading operations, but may require bending; a higher platform can reduce the need to bend, but may not be stable enough during loading and unloading.
Wheel size: Large wheels can better cope with uneven ground, improve the stability and smoothness of the trolley. Small wheels are suitable for use on smooth ground, more flexible but less adaptable to rough ground.
Handle design: The height and shape of the handle affect the comfort and operating accuracy of pushing and pulling. Adjustable handles can adapt to the needs of different users and improve operating comfort.
Size impacts storage:
Folding capability: If a cart has a folding feature, it can often significantly reduce storage space requirements, especially in space-constrained environments. The folded volume is small and easier to store.
Overall size: The overall size of a platform cart directly affects storage space usage. Larger carts take up more space and may require a dedicated storage area. Conversely, smaller carts can be stored more easily in tight spaces.
Stacking capability: Some carts are designed to be stackable, which can save storage space and is particularly useful when multiple carts need to be stored.
Wheel layout: The layout and number of wheels also affect storage. For example, a layout with four wheels versus two wheels affects the flexibility and storage method of the cart. The former generally provides better stability, while the latter may be more suitable for steering operations in compact spaces.
