Castor Duty

Throughout this web site, load capacity is defined as the recommended maximum capacity for normal working conditions.

However, working conditions for castors can vary enormously with regard to the floor surface and the severity of the actual application.

Therefore, it must be appreciated that load capacity is not the only factor to be considered when choosing castors for a specific job. It may, for instance be necessary to choose a castor having a given load capacity many times greater than the conditions appear to warrant to ensure that they are capable of giving the desired performance.
