Premium Swivel Castor with Directional Brake
This 150mm pressed steel swivel castor combines precision engineering with practical functionality, delivering smooth manoeuvrability and controlled directional movement for industrial trolleys, equipment carts, and mobile workstations. Featuring a robust black rubber wheel and integrated directional brake mechanism, this castor provides reliable performance in warehouses, workshops, and commercial environments where controlled movement and floor protection are essential.
Technical Specifications
Key Performance Features
Directional Brake Mechanism: Locks the swivel rotation while allowing forward and backward wheel movement, enabling controlled straight-line travel without full wheel immobilisation. Ideal for loading, unloading, and maintaining directional stability during transport.
Ball Journal Bearing System: Precision-engineered bearing assembly ensures smooth 360-degree swivel rotation with minimal friction, reducing operator effort and extending service life in high-frequency applications.
Black Rubber Wheel Construction: 85 Shore A tread hardness delivers excellent vibration dampening and floor protection, making it suitable for smooth concrete, epoxy-coated surfaces, and indoor commercial flooring without marking or damage.
Pressed Steel Construction: Zinc-plated pressed steel plate and fork provide robust corrosion resistance and structural integrity, suitable for indoor industrial environments with moderate exposure to moisture and handling stress.
Recommended Applications
Industrial trolleys and material handling carts, mobile workbenches and tool stations, equipment racks and storage units, warehouse picking carts, assembly line transport systems, commercial cleaning equipment, hospitality service trolleys, retail display fixtures.
Installation & Mounting
The 4-hole top plate design with 80mm × 60mm hole spacing provides secure attachment to equipment bases and trolley frames. Mounting holes accommodate M10 bolts or equivalent fasteners. Ensure mounting surface is flat, rigid, and capable of supporting the combined load. Distribute weight evenly across all four castors for optimal performance and longevity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a directional brake and a total lock brake?
A directional brake locks only the swivel rotation, allowing the wheel to roll forward and backward in a straight line. This is ideal for controlled movement during loading or transport. A total lock brake immobilises both swivel and wheel rotation completely, preventing all movement.
Can this castor be used on uneven or rough surfaces?
This castor is designed for smooth indoor surfaces such as concrete, tile, and epoxy-coated floors. The 150mm wheel diameter provides reasonable obstacle clearance, but for heavily uneven or outdoor terrain, a larger diameter wheel or pneumatic castor would be more suitable.
What is the maximum load if I use four castors on my trolley?
Each castor has a 130kg load capacity. When using four castors, the theoretical maximum is 520kg. However, it is recommended to apply a safety factor and ensure even weight distribution. For dynamic loads or uneven surfaces, consider using 70-80% of the maximum rated capacity.
How do I maintain the castor for optimal performance?
Regularly inspect the wheel for debris, damage, or excessive wear. Clean the swivel bearing and brake mechanism periodically to prevent dust accumulation. Lubricate the ball journal bearing with a light machine oil every 6-12 months depending on usage intensity. Check mounting bolts for tightness to prevent loosening under load.
Important: Always verify that the total load does not exceed the combined capacity of all castors. Ensure proper installation with appropriate fasteners. Inspect castors regularly for wear and damage. Replace immediately if cracks, deformation, or bearing failure is detected.
