This is ideal for maintaining controlled direction during movement. A total brake locks both the swivel and the wheel rotation completely, preventing all movement.

Position the castor at the desired location, ensuring the plate hole centres align with your mounting surface (60mm or 80mm width spacing, 75mm length spacing). Secure with appropriate fasteners, ensuring the plate sits flush and all bolts are tightened evenly to distribute load correctly. Always verify the mounting surface can support the intended load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 2px; overflow: hidden;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 18px 20px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c2c2c; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0;\"\u003eWhat is the maximum weight I can safely load on equipment using these castors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003eEach castor has a load capacity of 60kg. When using four castors, the maximum recommended load is 180kg (not 240kg) due to uneven weight distribution during movement and turning. Always calculate total equipment weight including the item being transported, and ensure the load is distributed as evenly as possible across all castors. For safety, it's advisable to operate below maximum capacity, particularly if the equipment will be moved frequently or over thresholds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #2c2c2c 0%, #1a1a1a 100%); padding: 30px; border-radius: 2px; margin-top: 40px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0; line-height: 1.7; text-align: center;\"\u003eThis 80mm pressed steel swivel castor with directional brake delivers reliable performance, controlled movement, and durable construction for light to medium-duty applications across commercial and industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Industrial Products UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55562255892865,"sku":"RC_IPN624","price":21.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7796\/0416\/files\/zzzz78.jpg?v=1779108779","url":"https:\/\/industrialproducts-uk.co.uk\/products\/80mm-pressed-steel-swivel-castor-wheel-with-directional-brake-top-plate-black-rubber-60kg-load","provider":"industrialproducts-uk.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
