Most casters range in mobility and many of them reach a point of overuse where they start grinding to a halt. Certain brands and models of casters are built to dodge wear-and-tear more than others. Some are also capable of handling more “mileage” than others. Like anything else, the higher the quality, the higher the price. However, if you consider buying in bulk, you can expect to see a drop in marginal cost across any type of caster.
