Have you ever been badly injured with a need to get to the hospital as quickly as possible? You may have been laying on the stretcher used to whisk you away to the ambulance, with those tiny wheels rolling you along being as far from your thoughts as possible. That's not a bad thing, mind you. You were most likely traumatized and thinking of other things such as loved ones or your own well-being. The ambulance crew quickly unloads your stretcher onto the pavement and rushes to roll you inside the hospital. Once inside, you are routed to the nearest available room and moved, if possible, from the stretcher, onto the hospital bed. The doctor makes it to you and examines, and a few hours later you are told that everything will be fine. The small wheels on your stretcher, your hospital bed, and even the stool in which your doctor sat: all of those things made excellent use of Castors.

The castor is a wheel, most often small in size, which is used in countless applications to expedite the movement of large or heavy objects in day to day life. Most people don't think about these little wheels, and much of the time they go ...
... unnoticed to our eyes. It's because we have become so accustomed to being around them that we sometimes don't realize what an important role they play in our lives. You will find them on just about every piece of equipment in your local hospital, from stretchers to beds, and on large equipment such as computer systems which often need to be moved to other places when the need arises.

The Castors has been used for many years both in our private lives as well as in the everyday commercial world of businesses and other such locations. Your computer chair likely makes use of castors to give you free movement with little effort. Your television table may very well have castors, and maybe even the television set itself. When you go grocery shopping, your shopping cart makes use of those little wheels to make your shopping experience roll along; literally. When you go for a walk with the baby and push the carriage along, those little wheels make the difference.

It would be very hard to imagine a world where these little wheels weren't used, and how hard it would be to perform everyday tasks without their assistance. Anyone who works for a moving company knows the importance of these wheels first hand, as their job would be immensely hard without the help of the wheels on their dolly. So it remains a crucial, yet unspoken fact that castors are widespread in use, and mostly out of sight.

Castors are essential elements of tracks and have far more of an impact on your favorite TV shows than you might imagine. Dollies and cameras on Castors help to achieve this. And it is not just TV shows and films that Castors aid every day.
