Performance Benefits
Superior Manoeuvrability
The swivel configuration with precision ball journal bearing delivers smooth, effortless rotation even under maximum load. This enables operators to navigate tight spaces, make sharp turns, and reposition equipment with minimal physical effort, reducing workplace fatigue and improving operational efficiency in busy industrial and commercial environments.
Exceptional Rolling Performance
The 150mm wheel diameter combined with the polyurethane tread provides outstanding rolling efficiency and low resistance. The larger wheel size easily overcomes obstacles, floor joints, and minor surface irregularities, while the 40mm tread width ensures stable load distribution and prevents floor damage across various indoor surfaces.
Long-Lasting Durability
Constructed with pressed steel frame and polyurethane on nylon wheel technology, this castor is engineered for extended service life in demanding applications. The 85 Shore A tread hardness offers excellent wear resistance while maintaining floor protection, and the robust bearing system ensures consistent performance throughout the castor's operational lifetime.
Reliable Installation
The 4-hole top plate design with 10mm diameter holes and standardized 80mm × 60mm hole centres ensures secure, stable mounting on a wide range of equipment. The 100mm × 85mm plate dimensions provide ample surface area for load distribution, while the straightforward bolt-through installation allows for quick fitting and replacement when required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum weight this castor can support?
Each castor has a load capacity of 180kg. When using four castors on a single piece of equipment, the combined maximum load capacity is 540kg. Always ensure loads are evenly distributed across all castors for optimal performance and safety.
Is this castor suitable for use on smooth indoor floors?
Yes, this castor is specifically designed for indoor applications on smooth surfaces such as concrete, tile, vinyl, and sealed floors. The polyurethane tread with 85 Shore A hardness provides excellent floor protection while maintaining low rolling resistance and quiet operation.
What are the mounting hole dimensions for installation?
The top plate measures 100mm × 85mm with four 10mm diameter fixing holes. The hole centres are spaced at 80mm (length) and 60mm (width). Standard M8 or M10 bolts are typically used for secure installation.
Can this castor be used on uneven surfaces?
While primarily designed for smooth indoor floors, the 150mm wheel diameter provides good obstacle clearance and can handle minor surface irregularities, floor joints, and small debris. The 181mm total height offers increased ground clearance compared to smaller castors.
What type of bearing does this castor use?
This castor features a ball journal bearing in the swivel mechanism, which provides smooth rotation with minimal friction even under heavy loads. This bearing type ensures reliable, long-lasting performance and easy manoeuvrability throughout the castor's service life.
How does the swivel function work?
The swivel castor rotates 360 degrees around a central axis, allowing the wheel to follow the direction of travel automatically. This provides maximum manoeuvrability and makes it easy to steer equipment in any direction, ideal for applications requiring frequent directional changes.
What is the difference between polyurethane and polyamide wheels?
This castor features a polyurethane tread on a nylon (polyamide) core, combining the benefits of both materials. The polyurethane tread provides excellent floor protection, low rolling resistance, and quiet operation, while the nylon core offers structural strength and durability.
How many castors do I need for my equipment?
Most applications require four castors for stable support and even load distribution. Calculate your total equipment weight (including maximum load) and divide by four to determine the load per castor. Ensure this figure does not exceed the 180kg capacity per castor, and consider adding a safety margin of 20-30% for dynamic loads.
