METHOD / ASSUMPTIONS

mᵈ = (mₑ + mₚ) ÷ nᵦ × S

mᵈ: design mass per caster, kg
mₑ: equipment mass, kg
mₚ: payload mass, kg
nᵦ: assumed load-bearing casters
S: selected safety factor

Model boundaries

Equal distribution is a nominal comparison only.
The conservative mode accounts for fewer load-bearing casters.
Shock, speed, center of gravity and standards can require more margin.

Engineering reference

Calculators and selection guidance are provided for preliminary design reference. Actual performance and safety depend on the complete system, operating environment and validation requirements.
