What is the difference between a fixed castor and a swivel castor?

A fixed castor only moves in a straight line, providing directional stability and control. It's ideal for applications where you need predictable, linear movement. A swivel castor rotates 360 degrees, offering greater manoeuvrability but less directional control. Many trolleys use a combination of both types for optimal performance.

How do I install this castor on my equipment?

This castor features a 4-hole top plate mounting system. Simply align the plate with your equipment's base, ensuring the hole centres (60mm × 80mm) match your mounting points. Use four bolts with a 10mm diameter through the plate holes to secure the castor firmly. Ensure all fixings are tightened evenly for optimal stability and load distribution.

What type of flooring is this castor suitable for?

The black rubber wheel with 85 Shore A hardness is designed for use on smooth, hard surfaces such as concrete, tile, sealed wood, and epoxy-coated floors. The rubber tread provides excellent grip while protecting floor surfaces from scratching or marking. It performs well in warehouses, workshops, and commercial indoor environments.

Can I use this castor outdoors or in wet conditions?

While the zinc-plated top plate offers corrosion resistance, this castor is primarily designed for indoor industrial use. The rubber wheel and ball journal bearing perform best in dry conditions. For outdoor or wet environments, consider castors specifically rated for weather exposure to ensure longevity and consistent performance.
