Description
150mm Pressed Steel Swivel Castor with Grey Rubber Wheel
Premium mobility hardware engineered for medium to heavy-duty applications requiring smooth manoeuvrability, controlled rolling performance, and dependable load capacity across demanding indoor environments.
What This Product Is
This 150mm pressed steel swivel castor features a grey rubber wheel bonded to a pressed steel centre, mounted on a ball journal bearing swivel housing with a 4-hole top plate fixing. The castor is designed to deliver smooth directional changes, quiet operation, and reliable performance under loads up to 130 kg per unit.
Ideal for trolleys, mobile workstations, handling equipment, and industrial carts, this castor combines robust construction with controlled rolling characteristics, making it well suited to warehouses, workshops, retail environments, and facilities where equipment must be repositioned frequently without damaging floors or generating excessive noise.
Key Performance Features
Swivel Mobility
Full 360-degree rotation enables effortless directional changes and precise positioning, reducing operator effort when manoeuvring equipment in tight spaces or around obstacles.
130 kg Load Capacity
Each castor supports up to 130 kg, providing a combined capacity of 390 kg when four castors are installed, making this model suitable for medium to heavy-duty trolleys and mobile equipment.
Grey Rubber Wheel Construction
The rubber tread bonded to a pressed steel centre delivers controlled rolling with effective shock absorption, reducing vibration and noise while protecting floor surfaces from marking and damage.
Ball Journal Bearing
Precision ball journal bearing ensures smooth, low-friction rotation under load, improving manoeuvrability and extending service life by reducing wear on the swivel mechanism.
150mm Wheel Diameter
Larger wheel diameter provides excellent rolling efficiency, improved obstacle clearance, and reduced rolling resistance, making it easier to move loaded equipment across uneven surfaces and thresholds.
4-Hole Top Plate Fixing
Robust top plate with four mounting holes ensures secure, stable attachment to equipment frames, distributing load evenly and preventing movement or loosening during operation.
Technical Specifications
Typical Applications
This 150mm swivel castor is engineered for environments where smooth manoeuvrability, controlled rolling, and reliable load capacity are essential:
- Medium to heavy-duty trolleys and transport carts
- Mobile workstations and equipment stands
- Handling equipment and material transport systems
- Workshop and industrial applications
- Warehouse and logistics equipment
- Retail display units and mobile fixtures
- Indoor environments requiring floor protection and quiet operation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum weight this castor can support?
Each castor has a load capacity of 130 kg. When four castors are installed on a trolley or equipment frame, the combined maximum load capacity is 390 kg. For optimal performance and safety, ensure the load is distributed evenly across all castors and does not exceed the stated capacity.
Will this castor mark or damage my floors?
The grey rubber wheel is designed to be non-marking and floor-safe, making it suitable for use on polished concrete, vinyl, tile, and other smooth indoor surfaces. The rubber tread provides controlled rolling with effective shock absorption, reducing vibration and protecting floor finishes from scuffing or damage during normal operation.
How do I install this castor on my equipment?
This castor features a 4-hole top plate measuring 100 mm ? 85 mm with mounting holes spaced at 60 mm ? 80 mm centres. Each hole has a diameter of 10 mm. To install, position the top plate on your equipment frame, align the holes, and secure using four bolts or screws (not included) with appropriate washers and nuts. Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely to prevent movement during operation.
What is the difference between a swivel castor and a fixed castor?
A swivel castor rotates 360 degrees, allowing the wheel to change direction freely and making it easier to manoeuvre equipment in any direction. A fixed castor only rolls in a straight line and does not rotate. For optimal mobility, most trolleys and carts use a combination of swivel castors (typically at the front for steering) and fixed castors (at the rear for stability and directional control).
Why Choose This Castor
This 150mm pressed steel swivel castor combines robust construction with controlled rolling performance, making it an excellent choice for medium to heavy-duty applications. The grey rubber wheel delivers quiet, floor-safe operation with effective shock absorption, while the ball journal bearing ensures smooth rotation under load.
Engineered for reliability and ease of installation, this castor provides dependable manoeuvrability and long service life across demanding indoor environments including warehouses, workshops, retail spaces, and industrial facilities.
