how to choose right casters for aluminum mobile scaffolding

We all know that aluminum scaffolding is different from iron scaffolding; they are built at a higher height, and each accessory has stricter requirements. So, what kind of wheels are suitable for making aluminum scaffold wheels?

aluminum scaffolding is also called mobile fast-mounted aluminum scaffolding. It is precisely because of the movable casters that the aluminum scaffolding can move quickly.

However, in actual use, if the wrong caster is selected, it will cause a lot of inconvenience. 

Let me first talk about what kind of casters are more suitable for quick-mounting aluminum scaffolding. 

1. Aluminum scaffolding has better bearing capacity. Generally, the aluminum scaffold itself is not too heavy, but if you put items on it, the weight of the entire scaffold will increase, and the load-bearing capacity of the casters is also very important. The load-bearing capacity of the continuous casting machine is generally up to 720 kg, which basically meets all the load-bearing requirements of the quick installation of aluminum scaffolding.

   
   

2. Try not to use iron parts for the accessories of aluminum scaffolding. Due to the conditions of the construction site, water may accumulate sometimes, or due to weather, the aluminum frame may come into contact with water. However, the aluminum frame itself is made of aluminum alloy, and it will not cause any serious problems when it encounters water. But if the caster has iron parts, it will definitely be affected. if taking aluminum scaffolding, which adopts double-pedal structure casters. There are generally two designs for locking and unlocking casters: single pedal and double pedal. The difference between the two is whether the single pedal is pressed or locked. When you need to unlock and move it, you must lift it up to restore the original steps. It's very laborious to use, and it's more laborious to use your hands for a long time.

   
   

3. There is no such problem with double-pedal casters. It has foot positions on both sides of the caster. Step on one side to lock the brake, and step on the other side to unlock, without pulling a hand. The double-pedal adjustable casters used in our aluminum alloy scaffolds have a single test load of 500KG, while the general single-pedal caster load is only about 300KG;

4. In addition, the adjustment screw is also an important part of the aluminum scaffold wheel; The adjusting screw has a thickness of 4 mm and a length of 58 cm, which can be used to adjust the level of the scaffold and increase the height of the scaffold. Screw and nut triangular design, easy to rotate;
