The difference between large and small casters

When choosing a shopping cart, one thing that can be surprisingly confusing is the size of the casters (wheels).

The size of the casters will have a big impact on how comfortable they are to use and the situations in which they are suitable. Learn about the characteristics of each type and use this information to choose the cart that's right for you.

Features of large casters

Strong against steps and uneven roads

It makes it easy to smoothly overcome small outdoor obstacles such as tactile paving blocks and uneven sidewalks.

Vibrations are less likely to be transmitted to the hands

The large tires reduce vibrations and put less strain on your hands and arms, making it recommended for those with pain.

Note: This route may require a slightly larger detour.

When changing direction, the handle tends to stick out from the body, making it difficult to turn in narrow spaces. Be careful not to hit it with your feet.

Features of small casters

Maneuverable

Its compact movements allow for smooth operation even inside a store or in narrow aisles.

Ideal for indoor use

It moves smoothly on a flat floor and doesn't make much noise.

Caution: Weak on steps

It is easy to trip over steps or uneven roads, and vibrations tend to be transmitted to your hands.
