Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a directional brake and a total lock brake?
A directional brake locks the swivel mechanism to maintain straight-line travel while the wheel continues to roll forward and backward. A total lock brake stops both the swivel and the wheel rotation completely. Directional brakes are ideal when you need controlled movement in one direction, such as guiding a trolley down an aisle.
Can this castor be used on all floor types?
This castor is designed for indoor use on smooth, hard surfaces such as concrete, tile, vinyl, and sealed wood flooring. The black rubber wheel with 85 Shore A hardness provides floor-friendly rolling and vibration reduction. It is not recommended for outdoor use, rough terrain, or soft surfaces like carpet.
How do I determine the correct load capacity for my application?
Calculate the total weight of your equipment plus the maximum load it will carry, then divide by the number of castors. Each castor should support its share with a safety margin. For example, if your loaded trolley weighs 200kg and uses four castors, each castor bears approximately 50kg?well within this model's 60kg capacity. Always account for uneven weight distribution and dynamic loads.
What mounting hardware is required for installation?
This castor features a 4-hole top plate with 10mm diameter holes positioned at 60mm × 80mm centres. You will need four M10 bolts, washers, and nuts (or equivalent fasteners) to secure the plate to your equipment. Ensure the mounting surface is flat, rigid, and capable of supporting the load. Fasteners are not included with the castor.
