Carpet Caster

Rolling on carpet takes more force than hard flooring, so carpet-friendly casters typically use larger-diameter, softer wheels that don't sink into or drag against carpet fibers as much as small, hard wheels do.

What a carpet caster is

Small, hard wheels can dig into carpet pile and become difficult to push; larger, softer wheels distribute weight better and roll more easily over the uneven surface carpet creates.

When it matters

Office furniture, hospitality equipment, and any application rolling primarily over carpeted floors.

What to check / common mistakes

Using small, hard wheels on carpet. They tend to sink in and drag, increasing push effort significantly compared to a larger, softer wheel sized for carpet.
