A Square Wheel Caster is best for use on relatively heavy medical equipment. While dozens of other uses exist, the 551D Square Wheel Caster was designed with the medical profession in mind. Problems entering or exiting elevators caused by the threshold crack in which wheels easily get caught if the wheels are not properly oriented have been resolved with the Square Wheel Caster available from Magnus Mobility.
