125mm Pressed Steel Swivel Castor with Directional Brake

Premium industrial mobility solution engineered for medium to heavy-duty applications requiring precise directional control and reliable load capacity.

Product Overview

This 125mm pressed steel swivel castor combines robust construction with intelligent braking technology, delivering exceptional performance for trolleys, carts, and industrial handling equipment. The red polyamide wheel features a polyurethane tread bonded to a nylon core, providing superior floor protection, smooth rolling, and long-lasting durability across warehouse, retail, hospitality, and manufacturing environments.

Designed for professionals who demand reliability, this castor features a directional brake mechanism that locks the wheel in place while allowing the castor to swivel freely, enabling precise positioning and secure parking. The ball journal bearing ensures smooth rotation under load, while the zinc-plated pressed steel construction delivers corrosion resistance and structural integrity for years of continuous service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a directional brake and a total lock brake?

A directional brake locks the wheel from rolling but allows the castor to continue swivelling freely, making it ideal for positioning equipment precisely. A total lock brake locks both the wheel and the swivel mechanism completely. This castor features a directional brake for enhanced manoeuvrability during positioning.

What type of floors is this castor suitable for?

The polyurethane tread is non-marking and suitable for all smooth floor surfaces including polished concrete, epoxy resin, vinyl, laminate, and tile. The 85 Shore A hardness provides excellent floor protection while maintaining smooth rolling performance.

How do I calculate the total load capacity I need?

Calculate the total weight of your loaded equipment and divide by the number of castors, then add a 25-30% safety margin. For example, if your loaded trolley weighs 400kg and uses 4 castors, each castor carries 100kg. With a safety margin, you should select castors rated for at least 130kg. This 160kg castor provides ample capacity.

Will this castor fit my existing trolley or cart?

This castor uses a standard top plate measuring 100mm × 85mm with four 10mm diameter mounting holes positioned at 60mm × 80mm centres. Measure your existing mounting plate or check your equipment specifications to confirm compatibility. The total height is 157mm from floor to top of plate.

Can I use these castors outdoors?

While the zinc-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance, these castors are primarily designed for indoor industrial, commercial, and institutional environments. For permanent outdoor installation or exposure to harsh weather conditions, consider stainless steel alternatives.

How many braked castors should I install on my equipment?

For optimal stability and control, we recommend installing braked castors on at least two wheels, positioned diagonally opposite each other on a four-wheel configuration. For heavier equipment or applications requiring maximum security, consider braking all four castors.
