When you're living in a rental, flexibility isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential. Whether you’re in a tiny studio or a shared apartment, your furniture needs to work with your space, not against it. That’s where modular sofas come in.

 

Move-In Ready, Move-Out Easy

One of the biggest pain points for renters is moving furniture between apartments. Traditional sofas are heavy, awkward, and rarely fit the next place perfectly. A modular sofa L shape, on the other hand, can be separated into manageable pieces, making moving day a lot less stressful. And when you’re in your new place, you can reconfigure it to suit your layout.

 

Make the Most of Every Inch

Apartments—especially rentals—aren’t known for generous storage. That’s why a modular sofa with storage can be a total game-changer. Hidden compartments offer an easy solution for stashing items like board games, bedding, or that growing collection of throw pillows. It’s functional without looking “functional.”

 

Fits Your Life, Not Just Your Room

What makes modular furniture so appealing is that it adjusts as your lifestyle changes. Hosting guests? Rearrange the pieces to create more seating. Need more floor space for a yoga session? Move a section out of the way. The same sofa that worked in your college apartment can adapt to your next job in a new city.

 

Style That Doesn’t Sacrifice Comfort

Let’s face it—rental units can feel generic. A well-chosen modular sofa adds personality and polish to your space. Whether you go for a bold color or a neutral tone, it becomes a centerpiece that balances both design and comfort.

 

For renters who value smart design and everyday convenience, modular sofas offer the perfect blend of function and freedom. Whether you choose a modular sofa with storage or a space-saving modular sofa L shape, you’re investing in a piece that grows with you, no matter where you live next.

Caster wheels step into our life

About casters

Sometimes , the most simple inventions are significant . Even though we have no idea about who is the one invent caster wheel , however , the record of casters can be dated from 5500 years ago . People must to push goods very tough and hard before has wheels . One day , people were enlightened by the slick stone rolled from top to the foot of the hill , therefore we have an idea to invent caster wheels.

Caster created revolution that people don't have to carry one goods to another goods by hand . We have bicycles , cars , trains and trolleybus is just because the involution of the caster wheels .

Caster wheel is widely used in many areas , there is no doubt that we all need it . According to the development of the caster , it has 150,000 different types at least caster we are using at present . It indeed created a more convenient , efficient and safe labor life for every one of us .

The basic type of caster

1. Swivel Caster: The wheel is mounted on a pedestal with eccentric distance, and the bracket is free to rotate around the vertical axis of lead.

2. Rigid Caster: The wheel is mounted on a bracket that cannot be turned.

3. Single brake: A single brake device with a stop wheel.

4. Double brake: A dual braking device that can stop wheels turning and turning wheel.

The parameter of the caster

1. Wheel diameter: Wheel diameter nominal size.

2. Wheel width: The maximum width of a wheel parallel to the axis of rotation.

3. Tyre width: The width of a tire that is parallel to the axis of rotation.

4. Mount height: The caster is fitted with a vertical plane to the ground.

5. Radius of rotation: The steering shaft of the caster is the horizontal distance from the most prominent point of the caster.

6. Walking speed: within 4km/h

How to stock casters?

The storage warehouse shall be well ventilated, with relative humidity less than 80%, no corrosive gas inside, and the storage period shall not exceed 24 months.

Are all pallet jack wheels the same?

No, they are different.

First, though, let's differentiate between pallet jacks, also some people called them pallet trucks. Pallet jacks are usually divided into two categories: powered and manual. The default I mentioned next is the manual pallet jacks/ hand pallet jacks.

According to the function, the pallet jacks wheels are divided into steering wheels and load wheels. Steering wheels, literally when you want to operate a pallet jack to change direction, play a vital role. The load wheel is the wheel that plays the main supporting role when the pallet jack is loaded. Generally speaking, the steering wheel is the pair of wheels closest to the operator and is located forward, so it is also called the front wheel of the pallet jack. The load wheel is farther away and is generally called the pallet truck rear wheel.

According to the size, pallet jack wheels are divided into large wheels and small wheels. Usually the pallet jack steering wheel is a large wheel, the models are 1650, 1850 and 2050, and the corresponding dimensions are 160x50mm, 180x50mm, 200x50mm. The load wheel is a small wheel, and the dimensions are 80x50mm, 80x60mm, 80x70mm, 80x80mm, 80x90mm and 80x100mm. Basically, the diameter of the small wheel is fixed, but the length is different.

According to the material, there are generally iron core PU wheels, aluminum core PU wheels, aluminum core rubber wheels, nylon wheels, copolymer wheels, etc.

For colors, red, white and orange are common, others can be customized.

In terms of shape, it is also different, especially the load wheel, some are like cylinders, some are like oak barrels ...

So, not all pallet jack wheels the same.

We are a professional caster manufacturer, even if you have a special caster design, you can ask us to help you realize it. Feel free to inquire at any time.

Recently, A new customer placed an order Caster Wheel from us but he know little about caster wheel. Therefore we recommended him the right caster material according to his requirements and our professional experiences.

The most common caster wheel materials in the market are TPE, TPR, TPU. Here let’s talk about their advantages and disadvantages and you will have better understanding on how to choose TPE, TPR , TPU caster materials.

1. TPE material: TPE is environmentally and non-toxic material, with features of excellent wear resistance, elasticity, shock resistance and low noise performance. As it has good adhesion property with hard plastic. It can be coated and formed with hard plastic like PA,PP. TPE material is with great load capacity. Currently, TPE material is widely used for luggage caster,cart caster and industrial caster.

2. TPR: Technically, TPR is TPE because both of them belong to Polystyrene elastomer category. Its characteristics are similar to TPE, However, its elasticity is better than TPE as it is mainly made from SBS and its wear resistance is not as good as TPE. More important, TPR has better price than TPE, it also can be coated and formed with hard plastic like PA,PP. It can be used for heavy duty caster.

3. TPU: With the best wear resistance, good oil resistance, good elasticity and good load capacity, it has the longer service life, but it’s a bit noisy when working and without resistance to hydrolysis. It can be used for luggage caster and various types of industrial caster.

How to choose the above three caster materials?

Actually We are not able state which material is the best one since different caster materials have different advantages. The key to choose ideally caster materials depends on the usage and positioning of products. We seldom use TPE for caster even its price is moderate, mostly we use TPR and TPU. If you want the best wear resistance, then TPU is your best choice; If you want better price, then TPR is the most appropriate choice.

Ylcaster，as a professional Caster Wheel Supplier in China, has been in promoting and popularizing TPR material since 2010 and now TPR caster is widely accepted by our customers due to its good price and nice property.

1. Application of shock absorbing caster:

The shock absorbing caster is mainly used in the automotive industry, because of its characteristic of shock absorption performance, it can play a good shock absorption effect. For the shock absorbing wheels, it generally require the caster has good rotation performance and stress performance.

2. Features of Shock Absorbing Casters:

a. Spring:
The anti-vibration springs of some models of shock absorbing wheels are completely sealed and with dust-proof and anti-wrap properties. In order to suit different options and requirements. We should choose an excellent shock-resistant and shock-resistant spring to prevent the wheel from being damaged due to vibration when working on uneven ground.

b. Shock performance:
The spring loaded caster is made of high-quality shock-resistant shock springs. By using large-diameter bead disk, and with the top plate and the upper and lower bead plate being heat-treated, it can greatly improve the rigidity and toughness of the bead plate, making the bead plate rotation more flexible and easy, and greatly increasing the force Performance, avoiding the wheel damaged by vibration on the bumpy ground.

c. Resistant to high speed:
Double-tapered roller bearings are used for the spring casters wheels, which can better prevent wheel wobble during high-speed traction and greatly reduce noise, providing a quiet production environment for the production workshop.
