When engaged, the brake locks the castor in a fixed direction, enabling straight-line movement without the castor rotating. When disengaged, the castor swivels freely for full manoeuvrability. This is ideal for equipment that needs to be positioned easily but then moved in controlled, straight paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e8ed; padding: 1.5rem; background: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #667eea; font-size: 1.15rem; margin: 0 0 0.75rem 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWhat weight can this castor support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #34495e; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eEach castor has a load capacity of 180kg. When four castors are installed on equipment, the combined maximum load capacity is 540kg. For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the total weight of your equipment and load does not exceed this combined capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e8ed; padding: 1.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #667eea; font-size: 1.15rem; margin: 0 0 0.75rem 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWhat type of floors is this castor suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #34495e; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe polyurethane on nylon wheel with 85 Shore A hardness is designed for smooth indoor surfaces including concrete, epoxy-coated floors, vinyl, tile, and sealed wood.

Installation requires four bolts (not included) that fit through the mounting holes. Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound. Bolts should be tightened securely and evenly to distribute load properly across all four mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e8ed; padding: 1.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #667eea; font-size: 1.15rem; margin: 0 0 0.75rem 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between polyamide and polyurethane wheels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #34495e; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThis castor features a polyurethane tread on a nylon (polyamide) core.
