This swivel castor is engineered for environments requiring responsive directional control, floor protection and quiet operation:

• Mobile trolleys and service carts requiring multi-directional movement
• Adjustable workstations and modular equipment stands
• Storage units, shelving systems and mobile racking
• Material handling equipment and transport dollies
• Workshop and industrial mobile platforms
• Retail display units and merchandising fixtures
• Healthcare and hospitality mobile equipment

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 for enhanced manoeuvrability. A fixed castor only rolls in a straight line. Most mobile equipment uses a combination of both: swivel castors at one end for steering and fixed castors at the other for stability.

Can this castor be used on all floor types?

Yes, the black rubber on polypropylene wheel is designed to be floor-friendly and suitable for most indoor surfaces including tile, concrete, vinyl, laminate and sealed wood. The 85 Shore A tread hardness provides excellent floor protection while maintaining smooth rolling performance and vibration dampening.

How do I install this top plate castor?

The castor features a 4-hole top plate (100mm x 85mm) with 10mm diameter holes. Position the plate on your equipment base, mark the hole locations, drill pilot holes if needed, then secure using appropriate bolts, screws or fixings. Ensure all four fixing points are tightened evenly for optimal stability and load distribution.

What does the 75kg load capacity mean in practice?

The 75kg load capacity is the maximum weight each individual castor can safely support. For a four-castor configuration, the total capacity would be 300kg. Always distribute weight evenly across all castors and include a safety margin. For example, if your equipment weighs 200kg, using four of these castors provides a comfortable safety buffer.
