Pneumatic casters are air-filled pneumatic wheels that are used to control the speed of that equipment or tools which are moved manually. They are used in both outdoor and indoor appliances. These are used for smoother, controlled and quite a movement of objects and they also have shock absorption quality and make the movement on rough surface cushioned and stable. They are usually made from natural rubber, synthetic rubber, aluminium, fabric and wire, and some chemical compounds.
They are popularly used for indoor use such as in hospitals, electronic laboratories, department stores, scientific laboratories, hotels, and others. Also, they are extensively used in the construction industry, manufacturing industry, material handling industry, and others. Pneumatic casters are preferred over polyurethane casters for outdoor purpose applications because of their easier ride and better grip. Their size ranges from as small as to be used for indoor furniture like chairs to as large as to be used for industrial purposes.
