The type of the floor and the possible obstacles are factors that influence the amount of force required to move the cart as well as the transmission of vibrations and the wear on the wheel.

- For smooth floors and heavy loads, the wheels should have hard tread.
The following table shows the suitable floor type for each wheel in simplified form.
