80mm Swivel Castor with Directional Brake
This 80mm swivel castor combines precision manoeuvrability with controlled directional movement, making it ideal for trolleys, mobile workstations, and handling equipment that require both agile positioning and straight-line stability. The directional brake locks the swivel head to maintain a fixed travel path when needed, while the grey rubber wheel delivers quiet, non-marking performance across indoor surfaces. Engineered for light to medium-duty applications, this castor offers dependable service in commercial and industrial environments.
What It Is
An 80mm diameter swivel castor fitted with a directional brake mechanism and a grey rubber tread on pressed steel wheel construction. The castor features a ball journal bearing for smooth rotation and a 4-hole top plate mounting system for secure installation.
What It's Used For
This castor is designed for applications requiring controlled movement and directional guidance, including:
- Industrial trolleys and mobile carts requiring straight-line travel
- Workshop equipment and handling systems
- Mobile workstations and assembly platforms
- Transport equipment in warehouses and facilities
- Indoor environments where floor protection and noise reduction are priorities
Performance Features
Directional Brake Control
Locks swivel head to maintain fixed direction during transport, combining manoeuvrability with straight-line stability
Grey Rubber Tread
Non-marking, floor-safe operation with effective shock absorption and vibration dampening for quiet rolling
Ball Journal Bearing
Smooth, low-friction rotation under load for improved handling and reduced rolling resistance
60kg Load Capacity
Suitable for light to medium-duty applications with reliable performance across typical indoor use cases

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a directional brake and how does it work?
A directional brake locks the swivel mechanism of the castor, preventing it from rotating. This keeps the wheel facing in one direction, allowing the equipment to travel in a straight line. It's particularly useful when moving trolleys or carts over longer distances where you need controlled, predictable movement rather than full manoeuvrability.
Will this castor mark or damage my floors?
No. The grey rubber tread is specifically designed to be non-marking and floor-safe. It provides excellent protection for finished indoor surfaces including tile, vinyl, sealed concrete, and polished floors. The rubber material also absorbs shock and reduces vibration, making it quieter than harder wheel materials.
How much weight can I safely load on equipment using these castors?
Each castor has a load capacity of 60 kg. When using four castors on a trolley or cart, the maximum recommended load is 180 kg (rather than 240 kg) to account for uneven weight distribution and dynamic forces during movement. Always ensure loads are evenly distributed across all castors for optimal performance and safety.
What tools do I need to install this castor?
Installation requires four M10 bolts (or equivalent 10mm diameter fixings) to match the plate hole diameter, along with washers and nuts. You'll need a drill with a 10mm bit if pre-drilled holes aren't available, a spanner or socket set, and a measuring tool to mark the 60mm × 80mm hole centres accurately. The top plate design allows for straightforward bolt-through mounting to most flat surfaces.
Why Choose This Castor
This 80mm swivel castor with directional brake combines practical engineering with reliable performance for demanding indoor applications. The grey rubber wheel delivers floor-safe, quiet operation while the ball journal bearing ensures smooth rotation under load. With a 60kg capacity per castor and a compact 106mm total height, it's well-suited to trolleys, mobile workstations, and handling equipment where controlled movement and durability matter. Sourced from trusted manufacturers and selected for consistent quality, this castor provides dependable service across commercial and industrial environments.
