Directional Brake Control

Swivel action with integrated directional brake allows unrestricted positioning when unlocked and maintains controlled straight-line travel when engaged, ideal for precision handling tasks.

Heavy-Duty Load Capacity

Rated at 180kg per castor with a combined capacity of 540kg across four units, engineered for demanding industrial environments and sustained heavy-load applications.

Ball Journal Bearing System

Precision ball journal bearing ensures smooth 360-degree rotation under load, reducing rolling resistance and improving manoeuvrability even when carrying substantial weights.

Rubber Tread Construction

Black rubber tread bonded to pressed steel wheel core delivers effective shock absorption, vibration reduction, and floor protection with 85 Shore A hardness for controlled rolling performance.

What is the difference between a directional brake and a total lock brake?

A directional brake locks only the swivel mechanism, allowing the wheel to roll freely in a straight line while preventing the castor from rotating. This is ideal for maintaining controlled straight-line movement. A total lock brake stops both the swivel and the wheel rotation completely, preventing all movement. Directional brakes are preferred for applications requiring guided travel along fixed paths.

Can this castor be used on smooth concrete or tiled floors?

Yes, the black rubber wheel with 85 Shore A hardness is well-suited for smooth indoor surfaces including concrete, tile, and sealed floors. The rubber tread provides effective vibration damping and floor protection while maintaining controlled rolling performance. The material composition reduces noise and prevents floor marking in most indoor environments.

How do I install this top plate castor onto my equipment?

The castor features a 4-hole top plate measuring 140mm x 110mm with 10mm diameter mounting holes. Position the plate on your equipment base, align the holes with your mounting surface, and secure using appropriate bolts, washers, and nuts (not included). Ensure the mounting surface is flat and structurally sound to support the intended load. The hole centres are spaced at 80mm and 105mm for versatile mounting configurations.

What is the maximum speed rating for this castor?

This castor is designed for standard industrial handling speeds typically up to 4-6 km/h. The ball journal bearing system and rubber wheel construction are optimized for controlled, moderate-speed applications such as trolley movement, equipment positioning, and workshop transport.
