Twin-Wheel Caster

A twin-wheel caster is similar to dual-wheel construction but specifically common on furniture — two smaller wheels mounted together roll easily on carpet and provide stability under office chairs and similar light-duty equipment.

What a twin-wheel caster is

The twin-wheel design is standard on office chair casters specifically because it distributes weight and rolls over carpet better than a single wheel of comparable size.

When it matters

Office chairs, furniture, and light-duty equipment, especially rolling on carpet.

What to check / common mistakes

Confusing twin-wheel furniture casters with heavy industrial dual-wheel casters. They share a similar concept but serve very different capacity ranges and applications.
