Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fixed castor and a swivel castor?
A fixed castor only rolls in a straight line and cannot rotate, providing excellent directional stability and tracking. Swivel castors rotate 360 degrees, offering superior manoeuvrability. For optimal performance, most equipment uses a combination of both types, with fixed castors at one end for stability and swivel castors at the other for steering.
How do I calculate the total load capacity I need for my equipment?
Calculate the total weight of your equipment plus the maximum load it will carry, then divide by the number of castors. Add a safety margin of 25-30% to account for uneven weight distribution and dynamic loads. Each castor should be rated above this calculated figure. For this 180kg castor, a set of four provides a safe working capacity of approximately 540kg total.
Will this castor damage or mark my floors?
The black rubber tread is designed to provide floor protection and reduce rolling noise compared to hard wheels. However, rubber wheels may leave marks on certain floor types over time, particularly light-coloured surfaces. For environments where floor marking is a critical concern, consider non-marking rubber alternatives specifically designed for sensitive flooring.
What maintenance does this castor require?
Regular maintenance extends castor life significantly. Periodically inspect for debris wrapped around the wheel axle, check mounting bolts for tightness, and examine the wheel for wear or damage. Clean the bearing housing and apply appropriate lubricant to the ball journal bearing every 3-6 months depending on usage intensity. Remove any accumulated debris from the tread surface to maintain optimal rolling performance.
Engineered for reliability and built to perform in the most demanding industrial environments, this premium fixed castor delivers the durability and load capacity your operations require.
