We stock a complete range of Fixed castors and their associate Swivel and Braked Castors (where available). Our ranges come with a wide variety of top plate sizes and fixing bolt hole centres.
The ranges include pressed steel, Stainless Steel and Fabricated or welded castor housings.
A castor’s size is usually referred to by the wheel’s diameter. The most common sizes are 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 80mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 160mm, 200mm, 250mm and 300mm. These are the wheel sizes. Remember that the top plate has to sit high enough above wheel for the wheel to spin freely. Therefore, the castor’s overall height will be somewhat larger than the wheel. We’ve had some customers purchase a 100mm Castor expecting it to be “around” 100mm tall, it’s not, it’s usually around 128mm tall.
Each Fixed Castor can have a wide range of castor wheels. Nylon, Polypropylene, Rubber Tyre, Elastic Rubber Tyre, Polyurethane Tyres and Cast Iron Wheels are the most common.
