CC Apex ESD (electrostatic dissipating) wheels offer the same ergonomic, noise-reducing, and durability qualities as the original CC Apex but add the benefit of being electrostatic dissipating throughout the wheel tread.
CC Apex ESD carries weight loads of 400-1,200 lbs.
As carts move around in any facility, they generate static electricity when there is no path for this electricity to dissipate. When this electricity is transferred from one object to the next, we call this electrostatic discharge. This discharge is extremely damaging in a variety of ways.
This discharge completely ruins valuable electrical components. It potentially ignites gases. It also affects clean rooms and medical areas by causing dust to cling together, which impeded it from entering filtration systems. At the same time, it can cause plastics to cling together, slowing production.
The CC Apex ESD uses compounds completely distributed throughout the polyurethane to allow electrons to not collect and therefore create static electricity. Because of this, you're protected from the serious complications that electrostatic discharge causes.
Electrostatic dissipative material conducts electricity, with a surface resistivity of equal to or greater than 10^5 ohms, but less than 10^12 ohms. This material is prescribed for discharge-safe areas because it allows static electricity to flow through the caster wheels and into conductive flooring. It is highly recommended that all casters on a cart (or other fixture) in an electrostatic discharge-safe area are electrostatic dissipative so that they can optimally contact conductive flooring.
With the CC Apex ESD, you get a caster that is versatile enough to be used in most facilities from automotive production lines to data centers. The wheel comes in a variety of sizes, and has top notch electrostatic dissipating elements added into the polyurethane. This means that you have world-class ergonomics, noise reduction, debris resistance, towline performance, and protection in electronic/chemical applications.

From a longevity perspective, you get casters that are more or less the exact same as our CC Apex casters. That means that your CC Apex ESD casters will give you the same ROI, while also preventing costly damage where electrostatic is an issue.
Here is a full case study here on the CC Apex that also applies to the CC Apex ESD. Not only do you have to do less work because there is way less maintenance, but you also gain productivity and free up funds for other projects and even salaries, when you use the CC Apex ESD in your operations.
At Caster Connection, we’re realists. We understand the high-paced environment that you work in. If you understand how CC Apex ESD can totally transform your production line, we want the transition to be seamless. What are your options?
These methods should help you transition over to CC Apex ESD and reduce or eliminate downtime from switching casters.
From day one, we’ve been about our clients. In fact, nearly every caster we’ve developed has been in direct collaboration with our partners. We want you to succeed so we can grow together!
We’ve been in the caster business for over 30 years. In that time, we’ve seen the trends come and go. We’ve also developed key connections to give you the inside edge.
From the industry-changing CC Apex to the CC Stark, our clients’ needs drive our development and product line. We offer the CC Apex ESD because of the unique challenges of our clients.
Because our relationships with our clients are so close, we know what struggles and difficulties they encounter. Regardless of the situation, we will find a solution no matter what.
The challenge with casters is to recognize a situation and match that situation with the appropriate casters. We have helped tens of thousands of businesses find the perfect caster.
Caster Connection sets trends and pursues projects that change the industry. For example, we worked on a collaborative project with OSU to change ergonomic standards for good.
We provide you with your personal caster plan so that you get exactly what you need and the support you deserve.
