Premium 80mm Swivel Castor with Directional Brake 

This 80mm pressed steel swivel castor combines precision engineering with directional brake control, delivering reliable mobility for medium-duty trolleys, carts, and handling equipment. Featuring a vibrant red polyamide wheel on a white nylon core, this castor offers smooth rolling performance with 90kg load capacity per unit. The integrated directional brake provides enhanced control, allowing operators to lock the swivel function while maintaining wheel rotation for guided movement along straight paths.

What This Product Is

A professional-grade swivel castor engineered with pressed steel construction and a 4-hole top plate mounting system. The castor features a red polyurethane tread bonded to a white nylon wheel centre, providing excellent floor protection and quiet operation. The ball journal bearing ensures smooth 360-degree rotation, while the directional brake mechanism locks the swivel action for controlled linear movement.

What It's Used For

Ideal for industrial trolleys, service carts, material handling equipment, warehouse platforms, retail display units, hospitality service trolleys, and medical equipment requiring directional guidance. The directional brake function is particularly valuable in environments where straight-line movement is essential, such as narrow aisles, production lines, or confined workspaces.

Key Performance Features

Directional Brake Control

The integrated directional brake locks the swivel mechanism while allowing the wheel to rotate freely, enabling precise straight-line movement in narrow aisles and confined spaces.

Premium Polyurethane Tread

The red polyurethane tread bonded to a white nylon core delivers excellent floor protection, low rolling resistance, and quiet operation across smooth surfaces.

Ball Journal Bearing

Precision ball journal bearing ensures smooth 360-degree swivel rotation with minimal effort, reducing operator fatigue during extended use.

Pressed Steel Construction

Zinc-plated pressed steel frame provides robust durability and corrosion resistance for demanding industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a directional brake and how does it work?

A directional brake locks the swivel function of the castor while allowing the wheel to continue rotating. This enables the equipment to move only in a straight line, providing enhanced control in narrow aisles or when precise linear movement is required. The brake is typically activated by a foot pedal mechanism.

What is the maximum load capacity for this castor?

Each castor has a load capacity of 90 kg. When using a set of four castors on a trolley or cart, the total load capacity is 270 kg. Always ensure loads are evenly distributed across all castors for optimal performance and safety.

What type of floors is this castor suitable for?

The polyurethane tread is ideal for smooth indoor surfaces including concrete, tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed wood floors. The 85 Shore A hardness provides excellent floor protection while maintaining good traction and quiet operation.

How do I install this top plate castor?

The 4-hole top plate mounts directly to your equipment using four bolts. The plate measures 100 mm × 85 mm with hole centres at 60 mm × 80 mm and a 10 mm hole diameter. Ensure your mounting surface is flat and secure all four bolts evenly for stable installation.

What is the total height of this castor?

The total castor height from the floor to the top of the mounting plate is 106 mm. This measurement is essential when calculating the overall height of your trolley or cart after castor installation.

Can this castor be used outdoors?

While the zinc-plated steel frame offers corrosion resistance, this castor is primarily designed for indoor use on smooth surfaces. The polyurethane wheel performs best on clean, dry floors and may experience accelerated wear on rough outdoor terrain.

What is the difference between a swivel castor and a fixed castor?

A swivel castor rotates 360 degrees, allowing movement in any direction, while a fixed castor only rolls in a straight line. Most trolleys use a combination of both: swivel castors at one end for manoeuvrability and fixed castors at the other for stability. This directional brake castor offers the best of both worlds.
