Description
150mm Swivel Castor with Directional Brake
This 150mm swivel castor combines precision manoeuvrability with directional control, making it ideal for medium to heavy-duty trolleys, mobile workstations and handling equipment. The directional brake locks the swivel head to maintain straight-line travel when required, while the grey rubber wheel delivers quiet, floor-safe operation with excellent shock absorption. Engineered for demanding indoor environments where controlled movement and reliable performance are essential.
Product Overview
Designed for applications requiring smooth manoeuvrability with the option of controlled straight-line travel, this swivel castor features a directional brake mechanism that locks the swivel head to maintain a fixed direction. The 150mm grey rubber wheel on pressed steel construction provides controlled, quiet rolling with effective shock absorption, while the ball journal bearing ensures smooth rotation under load.
With a load capacity of 130kg per castor, this model is well suited to medium- to heavy-duty trolleys, carts, workstations and handling equipment across commercial and industrial settings. The top plate fixing ensures secure installation, and the 181mm total castor height provides increased clearance for demanding indoor environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a directional brake and how does it work?
A directional brake locks the swivel head of the castor to prevent rotation, allowing the wheel to roll only in a straight line. This feature is useful when you need to move equipment in a controlled, fixed direction without the castor swivelling. When the brake is released, the castor returns to full swivel functionality for easy manoeuvrability.
Is this castor suitable for use on hard floors?
Yes, the grey rubber wheel is non-marking and floor-safe, making it ideal for use on hard floors including tile, concrete, vinyl and polished surfaces. The 85 Shore A tread hardness provides effective shock absorption while protecting floor surfaces from damage, and the rubber material ensures quiet, controlled rolling with minimal vibration.
How much weight can this castor support?
Each castor has a load capacity of 130kg. When using four castors together, the maximum combined load capacity is 390kg. It's important to ensure the load is evenly distributed across all castors and that the total weight does not exceed the maximum capacity to maintain safe and reliable operation.
What fixings are required to install this castor?
This castor features a 4-hole top plate with 10mm diameter holes. You will need four bolts or screws (not included) with a diameter suitable for 10mm holes. The plate dimensions are 100mm ? 85mm with hole centres at 60mm ? 80mm. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and secure, and use appropriate fixings rated for the intended load capacity.
Why Choose This Castor
This 150mm swivel castor with directional brake combines precision engineering with practical functionality, delivering dependable manoeuvrability, controlled movement and long service life. The grey rubber wheel provides quiet, floor-safe operation, while the ball journal bearing ensures smooth rotation under load.
