Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum weight this castor can support?
Each castor has a load capacity of 160kg. For optimal performance and safety, calculate the total weight of your equipment and load, then divide by the number of castors to ensure you stay within this limit per castor.
Will this castor damage my floors?
No. The polyurethane tread is specifically designed to be floor-safe and non-marking. It's suitable for use on tile, vinyl, laminate, polished concrete, and most hard floor surfaces without causing scuffs or damage.
How do I install this castor?
Installation is straightforward using the 4-hole top plate. Position the castor, mark the four mounting holes (80mm ? 60mm spacing, 11mm diameter), drill pilot holes if needed, then secure with appropriate bolts or screws. Ensure all fixings are tight before use.
Is this castor suitable for outdoor use?
While the zinc-plated steel provides corrosion resistance, this castor is primarily designed for indoor applications. For outdoor or wet environments, consider castors with enhanced weatherproofing or stainless steel construction.
What is the difference between swivel and fixed castors?
Swivel castors rotate 360? for maximum manoeuvrability, making them ideal for navigating tight spaces and changing direction easily. Fixed castors only roll in one direction. Most applications benefit from a combination: swivel castors at one end for steering, fixed at the other for stability.
How tall will my equipment be after fitting these castors?
The total height of the castor from floor to the top of the mounting plate is 157mm. Add this measurement to your equipment's base height to calculate the final overall height.
Can I use these castors on carpet?
These castors work best on hard, smooth surfaces. While they can be used on low-pile commercial carpet, performance may be reduced and more effort required to move loaded equipment. For regular carpet use, consider larger diameter wheels.
Do these castors require maintenance?
The ball journal bearing design is largely maintenance-free. Periodically check that mounting bolts remain tight, remove any debris from the wheel, and inspect for wear. A light application of lubricant to the swivel bearing annually can help maintain smooth operation.
Engineered for professionals who demand reliability, performance, and floor protection in every roll.
