Quality between you and the road

If you own a restaurant and have commercial kitchen equipment, you should think about buying industrial castors and installing them on the bottom of all of your kitchen equipment. If you have been thinking about doing this, you will probably find the following tips and advice to be pretty helpful.

Understand Why This is Smart

You might have worked with restaurant equipment for a long time, and the idea of installing castors underneath your equipment might have never crossed your mind. However, doing this makes it easier for you to move your equipment around, which can be a good thing for a few good reasons. For one thing, you and your kitchen staff can move your equipment around easily for cleaning, so it will be easier than ever for you to thoroughly clean and sanitize your kitchen. If you want or need to make changes to how your kitchen is arranged, you will probably be glad to have castors underneath your equipment so that you can move it quickly, easily, and safely, all without causing damage to your equipment.

Choose the Right Castors

The best castors to purchase and use for this purpose are typically industrial-grade castors. This is because these castors should be able to handle the heavy weight of some of your heavier restaurant equipment, and they should be able to hold up well to long-term and heavy-duty use. Make sure that you purchase stainless steel castors or some other type of industrial castor that can be quickly and effectively cleaned and sanitized. Check the weight limits on the castors, and compare those weight limits to the weight of your equipment. Additionally, make sure that you choose castors that have brakes; after all, when you aren't moving your equipment around, you will want to be able to use these brakes so that you can keep your equipment firmly and securely in place. After all, you don't want your fryers or range to move around while your kitchen staff is cooking.

Install the Casters Properly

Take your time to install the castors properly underneath your kitchen equipment. Carefully mark where the casters will go, and make sure that they are evenly distributed so that they can properly handle the weight of the equipment. If necessary, add the mounting holes to the bottom of your equipment so that your castors can be drilled into place. Make sure that castors are installed securely for best results. If you aren't sure of how to install the castors yourself, consider hiring someone to do it for you, such as someone who performs work on restaurant equipment.
