Mobile Pedestals — Expert Answer
Do mobile pedestals rolling on hard floors create noise in an open office?
Casters rolling on hard floors (hardwood, LVT, polished concrete) can create a clicking or rolling noise when pedestals are moved. Soft-wheel (rubber or polyurethane) casters significantly reduce this noise compared to hard plastic casters. Carpet casters (with slightly larger, softer wheels) work on both carpet and hard floors with low noise. If your office has hard floors and noise is a concern, specify pedestals with soft-wheel or polyurethane casters. You can also replace hard plastic casters on existing pedestals with aftermarket soft-wheel casters (most pedestals use standard stem sizes, typically 7/16" or 1/2" stem).
