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

A directional brake locks only the swivel mechanism, allowing the castor to roll in a straight line. This is ideal for controlled movement in one direction. A total lock brake would lock both the swivel and the wheel completely, preventing all movement.

How much weight can this castor support?

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

What type of flooring is this castor suitable for?

The white nylon wheel is designed for smooth indoor surfaces including concrete, tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed wood floors. The hard tread provides excellent durability while being gentle on floor finishes.

Can these castors be used in food preparation areas?

Yes, the white nylon wheel and pressed steel construction make these castors suitable for food service environments. The smooth surfaces are easy to clean and maintain hygiene standards required in commercial kitchens and food processing facilities.

What fixings do I need to install these castors?

The 4-hole top plate has 11mm diameter holes with 80mm x 60mm spacing. We recommend using M10 bolts with appropriate washers and lock nuts. Ensure fixings are suitable for your mounting surface material and application load.

Will the white nylon wheel leave marks on my floor?

White nylon is a non-marking material that will not leave black scuff marks on floors. However, any dirt or debris picked up by the wheel could potentially transfer to flooring, so regular cleaning is recommended for pristine floor maintenance.

How do I maintain these castors for long-term performance?

Regularly inspect castors for debris buildup and remove any obstructions. Periodically check mounting bolts for tightness. The ball bearing swivel mechanism is designed for long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. Clean wheels and brake mechanism as needed to ensure smooth operation.

Can I use a mix of braked and non-braked castors on the same equipment?

Yes, it's common practice to use braked castors on two corners (typically diagonal or same end) and non-braked castors on the other corners. This provides stability when stationary while maintaining ease of movement when the brakes are released.
