Load Capacity

What is the maximum weight this castor can support?

Each castor has a load capacity of 230kg. When using four castors together on a trolley or equipment base, the combined maximum load capacity is 690kg. Always ensure loads are evenly distributed across all castors for optimal performance and safety.

What type of floor surfaces are suitable for this castor?

This castor is designed for smooth indoor floor surfaces including polished concrete, sealed concrete, epoxy-coated floors, vinyl, and other hard, level surfaces. The solid nylon wheel provides excellent rolling efficiency and minimal floor marking on these surfaces.

How do I install this castor to my equipment?

The castor features a 4-hole top plate mounting system. The plate measures 141mm x 115mm with 10mm diameter holes positioned at 80mm x 105mm centres. Simply align the plate with your equipment base, mark the hole positions, drill pilot holes if needed, and secure using appropriate bolts or screws suitable for your application.

What is the total height of this castor?

The total height from the floor to the top of the mounting plate is 242mm. This measurement is important when calculating the final height of your trolley or equipment after castor installation.

Does this castor swivel 360 degrees?

Yes, this is a full swivel castor with 360-degree rotation capability. The precision ball journal bearing ensures smooth, effortless swivelling even under heavy loads, providing excellent manoeuvrability for easy directional changes and positioning.

Will this castor mark my floors?

The solid white nylon wheel is designed to minimise floor marking on most smooth indoor surfaces. However, floor marking can depend on various factors including floor type, load weight, frequency of use, and floor cleanliness. Regular wheel cleaning helps maintain non-marking performance.

What is the difference between a ball journal bearing and a plain bearing?

A ball journal bearing uses precision ball bearings to reduce friction during swivel rotation, providing smoother movement, easier manoeuvrability, and longer service life compared to plain bearings. This makes it ideal for heavy-duty applications where frequent directional changes are required.

Can this castor be used outdoors?

This castor is primarily designed for indoor use on smooth surfaces. While the pressed steel construction offers durability, outdoor use may expose the castor to moisture, debris, and uneven surfaces that could affect performance and longevity. For outdoor applications, consider castors specifically designed for exterior environments.
