Directional Brake Control
Swivel action with integrated directional brake provides full manoeuvrability for positioning and controlled straight-line travel when the brake is engaged, ideal for applications requiring guided movement along aisles or defined pathways.

110kg Load Capacity
Rated for 110kg per castor (330kg maximum when using four castors), this model delivers dependable performance for medium-duty applications including loaded trolleys, equipment stands, and mobile workstations.

Premium Wheel Construction
Red polyurethane tread bonded to a white nylon core combines exceptional durability with low rolling resistance. The 85 Shore A hardness rating ensures floor protection while maintaining structural integrity under continuous use.

Ball Journal Bearing System
Precision ball journal bearing ensures smooth, consistent rotation with minimal friction, reducing operator effort and extending service life even under frequent directional changes and continuous operation.

Pressed Steel Construction
Heavy-duty pressed steel frame and top plate provide robust structural support and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments, with superior resistance to impact and deformation.

Secure Top Plate Fixing
4-hole top plate mounting system with 10mm diameter holes and 60mm x 80mm hole centres ensures secure, stable installation on a wide range of equipment bases and trolley frames.

What is a directional brake and how does it work?

A directional brake locks the swivel mechanism of the castor, preventing rotation and forcing the wheel to travel in a straight line. When engaged, the castor can only move forward or backward, making it ideal for applications requiring controlled movement along aisles or defined pathways. When disengaged, the castor returns to full 360-degree swivel functionality.

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 continue rolling forward and backward in a straight line. A total lock brake (not featured on this model) locks both the swivel and the wheel rotation, completely immobilising the castor. Directional brakes are preferred when you need to maintain mobility while controlling direction.

How much weight can this castor support?

Each castor is rated for 110kg individual load capacity. When using four castors together on a trolley or equipment base, the maximum recommended load is 330kg. This accounts for uneven weight distribution and dynamic loading conditions during movement.

What type of floors is this castor suitable for?

The polyurethane on nylon wheel with 85 Shore A hardness is designed for smooth indoor surfaces including concrete, tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed wood floors. The polyurethane tread provides excellent floor protection while maintaining low rolling resistance. Not recommended for outdoor use or rough, uneven surfaces.

How do I install this castor?

The castor features a 4-hole top plate (100mm x 85mm) with 10mm diameter mounting holes positioned at 60mm x 80mm centres. Secure the plate to your equipment base using M10 bolts, ensuring all four fixing points are tightened evenly. Verify that the mounting surface is flat and capable of supporting the intended load.

What is the total height clearance required?

The total castor height from floor to the top of the mounting plate is 127mm. Ensure your equipment design accounts for this clearance, particularly if retrofitting castors to existing equipment or working within height-restricted environments.

What maintenance does this castor require?

Periodically inspect the wheel for wear, debris accumulation, and bearing smoothness. Remove any debris wrapped around the wheel axle. Check that all mounting bolts remain tight. The ball journal bearing is designed for long service life but should be checked for smooth operation. Replace the castor if the wheel shows significant wear or if rolling resistance increases noticeably.

Can I use a mix of swivel and fixed castors?

Yes, a common configuration is to use two swivel castors (typically at the steering end) and two fixed castors (at the opposite end) for improved straight-line stability while maintaining manoeuvrability. When using directional brake castors, you can achieve similar control by engaging the brakes when straight-line travel is required.
