What Are Electrically Conductive Casters?
Electrostatic conductive casters are casters and wheels that prevent static discharge by conducting the static electricity out of the cart, through the wheels and into the conductive floor. These casters are a solution for moving goods and equipment that require protection from electrostatic discharge.
For another solution to static discharge, check out our CC Apex ESD page for a look at our very own line of electrostatic dissipative casters. Learn more about the difference between conductive and electrostatic dissipative casters in our Casters and Static Discharge article.
Types of Electrically Conductive Casters
We offer a wide range of electrically conductive casters that correct almost any mobility issue, whether it's excessive noise or debris retention. Types of electrically conductive casters we offer include swivel electrically conductive casters, rigid electrically conductive casters, electrically conductive thermoplastic rubber casters, and dual-wheel electrically conductive casters.
What Are Some Applications for Electrically Conductive Casters?
Our electrically conductive casters are best suited for environments where electrostatic discharge poses a risk.
- Electrically conductive casters are a great choice for electronics manufacturing. Use them on carts to move equipment along electronic assembly lines to prevent static buildup and protect components. They are also used in workstations in electronics manufacturing plants to perform maintenance and test devices.
- Electrically conductive casters are used in cleanrooms where electronic devices, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment are produced.
- Electrically conductive casters are used in laboratories to protect scientific instruments from static discharge and prevent chemical biohazards.
- Electrically conductive casters are used in medical facilities to safely transport medical equipment and devices. They are also used in hospital furniture to protect patients using static-sensitive medical devices.
- Electrically conductive casters are used in data centers and IT facilities to transport server racks and IT equipment prone to static discharge. ESD casters are vital to protecting valuable data and hardware.

Benefits of Electrically Conductive Casters
Our electrically conductive casters are designed to deliver exceptional ergonomic performance, durability, load bearing capacity, and versatility. Here are some reasons to go with our electrically conductive casters, instead of commodity casters for your electronics applications.
- Static Dissipation: Our electrically conductive casters prevent the buildup of static electricity, protecting expensive electronic equipment and components from irreversible damage.
- Superb Ergonomic Performance: Our electrically conductive casters offer unparalleled ergonomic performance. Many of our casters boast low rolling resistance, which reduces the amount of physical effort required for employees to push carts fitted with them.
- Wide Range of Applications: Perfect for a wide range of applications, our electrically conductive casters are suitable for a variety of carts, server racks, cleanrooms, computer components, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, laboratories, and more. Whether in warehouses, homes, offices, waiting rooms, manufacturing facilities, medical centers, metal fabrication shops, aviation and aerospace plants, or distribution centers, our casters ensure seamless mobility.
- Smooth and Silent Operation: Minimize friction and reduce noise with our casters with precision ball bearings. The shock-absorbing design ensures a quiet and efficient work environment, allowing you to limit distractions.
- Low Debris Retention: Many of our casters are non-marking, which means they do not leave scuffs on floors. This reduces the need for frequent floor maintenance and repairs, which saves you money in the long run. Additionally, our casters are designed to repel debris, like metal shavings and wood chips. This is important for the longevity of a caster’s ergonomic performance. As debris builds up, eventually a caster’s rolling resistance will increase, making the cart or object harder to push.
- Easy Installation: Designed for easy installation, our electrically conductive casters come with standard mounting options that fit most equipment. Upgrade your existing setup quickly and efficiently with stem mount or plate mount caster rigs. Check out our brand of maintenance free rigs, CC Peak.
