Refrigerated Merchandisers

In Canada, just about every gas station has been integrated with a convenience store. In the United States, an estimated 80% of gasoline is purchased at convenience stores. Refrigerated merchandisers are a mainstay in every one of those stores. You can get anything from soft drinks to prepared foods to ice cream bars and other frozen treats from one of those merchandisers. In addition, most fast-food outlets have a refrigerated merchandiser where you can choose your favourite soft drink or like many local supermarkets, grab-and-go with your choice of prepared foods.

These merchandisers can feature a glass door that slides or swings open. They can also open air displays. Often, they are custom manufactured to accommodate particular spaces or to meet retail marketing requirements.

For a variety of reasons, the right casters are an essential component of refrigerated merchandisers. An advantage of most of those merchandisers is that they are portable, allowing retailers to find the ideal location for them. Often, merchandisers are located against walls in spaces that are intentionally a tight fit. Getting these units to their chosen spots requires navigating tight doorways and varying floor surfaces. A fully stocked merchandiser can be very heavy. While casters are essential to getting merchandisers where they belong, they are not meant to be seen.

Manufacturers of refrigerated merchandisers use our high-capacity, low-profile casters. Many of them, like our dual-wheel Mighty Maxx, enhance mobility, allowing merchandisers to be moved easily. With casters ranging from 2-1/4” to 4”, merchandisers can fit into the tightest of spaces, and with capacities of up to 2,000 lbs., they can be confidently stocked with any product. These casters often need to be mounted using corner brackets, and in many cases, unique combinations of swivel and rigid casters are used.
