Performance & Applications
The rubber on pressed steel wheel construction delivers controlled, quiet rolling with effective shock absorption. The 85 Shore A tread hardness provides the ideal balance between grip and durability, reducing vibration and noise while protecting sensitive floor surfaces from marking and damage.
The directional brake mechanism locks the swivel head to maintain a fixed direction, essential for applications requiring controlled straight-line travel. When unlocked, the ball journal bearing ensures smooth 360? rotation under load, improving manoeuvrability and reducing rolling resistance even when carrying substantial weights.
Ideal for: Heavy-duty industrial trolleys, transport and handling equipment, mobile machinery and equipment bases, workshop applications, warehouse environments, and indoor facilities requiring controlled movement under high loads.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a directional brake and a total lock brake?
A directional brake locks only the swivel mechanism, allowing the wheel to roll forward and backward in a straight line while preventing rotation. A total lock brake stops both the swivel and the wheel completely, preventing all movement. Directional brakes are ideal when you need controlled straight-line travel while maintaining mobility.
Will this castor mark or damage my floors?
No. The grey rubber wheel is specifically designed to be non-marking and floor-safe. The 85 Shore A tread hardness provides excellent floor protection while maintaining durability. This castor is suitable for use on polished concrete, epoxy coatings, vinyl, tile, and other sensitive indoor floor surfaces.
How do I calculate the total load capacity I need?
Divide your total load weight by the number of castors, then add a 25-30% safety margin. For example, if your trolley weighs 400kg fully loaded and uses 4 castors, each castor carries 100kg. Adding a 30% safety margin means you need castors rated for at least 130kg each. This 180kg castor provides substantial overhead capacity for demanding applications.
What fixings do I need to install this castor?
You will need four M10 bolts (or 10mm diameter bolts) with appropriate washers and nuts. The plate has a 4-hole configuration with hole centres at 80mm ? 105mm and 10mm diameter holes. Ensure your mounting surface is flat, rigid, and capable of supporting the distributed load. For heavy-duty applications, use grade 8.8 or higher bolts.
This 200mm swivel castor with directional brake combines precision engineering with practical functionality, delivering dependable manoeuvrability, controlled movement, and long service life for demanding industrial and commercial environments.
