Heavy-duty industrial trolleys and carts ? Material handling and transport equipment ? Machinery and equipment bases ? Workshop and warehouse environments ? Manufacturing and production facilities ? Commercial and retail display units ? Indoor smooth floor surfaces ? Storage and logistics operations Frequently Asked Questions What is a directional brake on a castor? A directional brake locks the swivel mechanism of the castor, preventing it from rotating. This allows the wheel to roll freely in a straight line while restricting sideways movement, providing better control when moving equipment in a specific direction. Unlike a total brake that stops the wheel completely, a directional brake maintains forward and backward rolling capability. What weight can this castor support? Each castor has a load capacity of 230kg. When using four castors together on a single piece of equipment, the combined maximum load capacity is 690kg. It is important to distribute weight evenly across all castors and never exceed the stated capacity to ensure safe operation and longevity. What type of floor is this castor suitable for? This white nylon wheel castor is ideal for smooth indoor floor surfaces such as concrete, tiles, vinyl, and sealed floors. The hard nylon material provides low rolling resistance and excellent durability on these surfaces. It is best suited for dry, clean environments and may not be appropriate for rough outdoor terrain or uneven surfaces. How do I install this top plate castor? The castor features a 4-hole top plate measuring 141mm x 115mm with 10mm diameter holes. Installation requires securing the plate to your equipment base using appropriate bolts or screws through the four mounting holes. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and strong enough to support the load, and use fasteners suitable for the material you are attaching to. What is the difference between nylon and rubber wheels? Nylon wheels are harder and provide lower rolling resistance, making them easier to push on smooth floors. They are more durable and resistant to wear but offer less shock absorption than rubber. Rubber wheels are softer, quieter, and better at absorbing vibration, but may leave marks on some floors and have higher rolling resistance. Nylon is preferred for heavy loads on smooth indoor surfaces. What is the total height of this castor? The total height from the floor to the top of the mounting plate is 242mm. This measurement is important when determining ground clearance for your equipment. Always account for castor height when designing or modifying trolleys, carts, or machinery to ensure adequate clearance and proper ergonomics. Can I use this castor outdoors? While the pressed steel construction and nylon wheel are durable, this castor is primarily designed for indoor use on smooth surfaces. Outdoor use may expose the castor to moisture, debris, and rough terrain that could accelerate wear and affect performance. For outdoor applications, consider castors specifically designed for exterior environments. What maintenance does this castor require? Regular maintenance includes checking and tightening mounting bolts, removing debris from the wheel and swivel mechanism, and inspecting for wear or damage. Periodic lubrication of the ball bearing may improve performance and extend service life. Always ensure the directional brake operates smoothly and check that the wheel rotates freely without obstruction. Premium Quality Industrial Castors This 200mm pressed steel swivel castor with directional brake and white nylon wheel delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and control for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Engineered for heavy-duty use with superior load capacity and smooth operation.
