• Benefit: This configuration provides better control and maneuverability when towing or pushing the cart, especially in tight spaces or around corners. The fixed front casters ensure straight-line movement, while the swivel back casters allow for easy turns and changes in direction.
• Drawback: This configuration may not be suitable for applications requiring precise, high-speed turns or sharp changes in direction, as the fixed front casters can limit the cart’s agility.
