What is the maximum weight this castor can support?

Each castor has a load capacity of 180kg. When using a set of four castors on a trolley or cart, the total load capacity is 720kg. Always ensure the load is evenly distributed across all castors for optimal performance and safety.

What is the difference between fixed and swivel castors?

Fixed castors only move in a straight line, providing directional stability and are ideal for the rear of trolleys or equipment requiring controlled movement. Swivel castors rotate 360 degrees, offering greater manoeuvrability. Most applications use a combination of both types for optimal control and mobility.

Will these castors mark or damage my floors?

No, the white nylon wheel is specifically designed to be non-marking, making it safe for use on polished concrete, epoxy resin, vinyl, and other smooth indoor floor surfaces. The material will not leave scuff marks or cause damage during normal operation.

How do I install these castors?

Installation is straightforward using the 4-hole top plate. The plate measures 100mm x 85mm with 10mm diameter holes positioned at 60mm x 80mm centres. Simply align the plate with your equipment, mark the hole positions, drill pilot holes if needed, and secure using appropriate bolts or screws (not included).

Are these castors suitable for outdoor use?

These castors are designed primarily for indoor use on smooth surfaces. The nylon wheel performs best on clean, dry, level floors such as those found in warehouses, factories, hospitals, and commercial facilities. For outdoor or rough terrain applications, alternative wheel materials may be more suitable.

What type of bearing does this castor use?

This castor features a ball journal bearing system, which provides smooth, reliable rotation with minimal friction. This bearing type is ideal for heavy-duty applications and ensures consistent performance even under substantial loads.

Can these castors be used in food or pharmaceutical environments?

Yes, the white nylon wheel and hygienic design make these castors suitable for clean room, food processing, pharmaceutical, and medical environments where cleanliness and easy maintenance are essential. The smooth surfaces are easy to clean and the white colour allows for easy visual inspection.

What is the total height of the castor?

The total height from the floor to the top of the mounting plate is 181mm. This measurement is important when calculating the final height of your equipment after castor installation. Ensure you account for this height when designing or modifying your trolley or cart.

How many castors do I need for my trolley?

Most trolleys and carts use four castors for stability. A typical configuration includes two fixed castors at the rear for directional control and two swivel castors at the front for manoeuvrability. Calculate your total load and divide by the number of castors to ensure each castor operates within its 180kg capacity rating.
