Key Features & Benefits
- ? Fixed Directional Stability: Engineered for straight-line movement, ensuring consistent tracking and directional control for trolleys, carts, and equipment platforms.
- ? Heavy-Duty Load Capacity: Supports up to 130kg per castor, with a combined capacity of 390kg when used in a standard four-castor configuration.
- ? Floor-Friendly Rubber Tread: Black rubber tread (85 Shore A hardness) protects delicate flooring surfaces whilst providing excellent grip and shock absorption.
- ? Ball Journal Bearing: Precision ball bearing mechanism ensures smooth, low-friction rolling performance and extended service life.
- ? Durable Polypropylene Core: Lightweight yet robust polypropylene wheel centre provides structural integrity whilst reducing overall castor weight.
- ? Pressed Steel Construction: Robust pressed steel frame and top plate deliver industrial-grade strength and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
- ? Standard 4-Bolt Top Plate: Universal mounting pattern (100mm × 85mm with 60/80mm hole centres, 10mm diameter holes) ensures compatibility with most equipment bases.
Ideal Applications
This fixed castor is perfectly suited for industrial trolleys, material handling carts, workshop benches, equipment platforms, warehouse racking systems, display units, and any application requiring controlled straight-line movement with reliable load-bearing performance. The floor-friendly rubber tread makes it ideal for retail environments, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and commercial spaces where floor protection is essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fixed castor and a swivel castor?
A fixed castor is designed to move only in a straight line, providing directional stability and controlled tracking. It cannot rotate or pivot. In contrast, a swivel castor can rotate 360 degrees, allowing for greater manoeuvrability and multi-directional movement. Most trolleys and carts use 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 trolley?
To determine the correct load capacity, first calculate the total weight of your trolley plus the maximum load it will carry. Divide this total by the number of castors you plan to use (typically 4), then add a safety margin of 25-30%. For example, if your total weight is 300kg across 4 castors, each castor experiences 75kg. Adding a 30% safety margin means you should select castors rated for at least 98kg. This 130kg castor provides ample capacity for most medium to heavy-duty applications.
Will this castor damage my flooring?
No, the black rubber tread is specifically designed to be floor-friendly and non-marking. The soft rubber material (85 Shore A hardness) protects delicate surfaces including polished concrete, vinyl, laminate, tile, and hardwood flooring. The rubber also provides excellent shock absorption, reducing vibration and noise during movement. This makes it ideal for environments where floor protection is a priority, such as retail spaces, hospitals, schools, and offices.
What fixings do I need to mount this castor?
This castor features a standard 4-bolt top plate with 10mm diameter mounting holes. You will need four M10 bolts (or equivalent 3/8" bolts) along with washers and nuts. The bolt length will depend on the thickness of your mounting surface, but typically 25-40mm bolts are suitable for most applications. Ensure bolts are tightened securely and check periodically for any loosening due to vibration during use. For best results, use grade 8.8 or higher bolts for industrial applications.
Note: Load capacities are tested under controlled conditions. Always ensure even weight distribution across all castors and avoid exceeding the stated capacity. Regular inspection and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity.
