Castors and Wheels: Enhancing Mobility for Your Equipment
Castors and wheels are essential components designed to add mobility to various types of equipment. They are commonly used on trolley, platforms, cabinets, workbenches, and other transportation devices. Whether you’re replacing existing castors or adding them to s...tationary equipment, these components transform static items into mobile units, making movement and transportation easier.
Types of Castor Brackets
Fixed (Rigid) Brackets: Fixed brackets allow movement in only two directions—forward and backward—providing straight-line movement. They are ideal for applications where controlled, linear mobility is required.
Swivel Brackets: Swivel brackets enable the castor wheel to rotate 360 degrees, allowing movement in any direction. For added control, swivel castors can be equipped with various brake options, including:
Wheel Lock: Locks the castor wheel in place.
Wheel Footbrake: A foot-operated brake that secures the wheel.
Swivel & Wheel Brake (Total Stop Brake): Locks both the wheel and the swivel head, ensuring complete immobility.

This Twin wheel ... Read More75mm Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Castor has a bracket made from strong Forged steel that is zinc plated. There is a hardened Taper Roller Bearing in he swivel head, which has a grease nipple, for smooth swivelling action and durability. The Top Plate is 112mm x 112mm and has 4 bolt holes that are spaced 92mm x 92mm, each with a 9mm hole diameter.The castor is able to tilt +/- 5o from its central axis according to the flatness of the floor. This ensures that this castor's wheels keep contact with the floor allowing smooth AGV movement and protection of the loaded cargo when changing directions (See illustration below)The wheels are more widely separated from each other than most Twin Wheel Castors. When changing direction, the two wheels spin in opposite directions to each other which reduces the castor offset. The smaller the offset the less chance that the AGV will deviate from its designated line.This castor frame has two wheels with a Polyurethane tyre (Shore A 95) on an Aluminium centre each containing ball bearings, The polyurethane wheel has excellent elasticity the minimises slipping that can happen when an AGV starts or stops. In addition, the elasticity also absorbs small shocks arising from small imperfections in the floor. The wheel itself is non marking and will not damage the floor.

This foot pad has a Nylon Hand-wheel operationThis product's load capacity has increased to 280kg Static Load and 140kg Dynamic Load.Because of the lifting and lowering function of the Foot Master castor, like all Jacking Castors, it is important understand that each castor may be subjected to HALF THE TOTAL WEIGHT. Therefore, the recommended load capacity for each Foot Master Levelling Castor is half the castor's Static Load Capacity, that is, when the castors' levelling function is not being used. The load capacity of the Footmaster Castor when it is being moved and positioned is given by the Dynamic Load Capacity.This levelling castor is a multi-functional swivel castor that provides mobility, levelling and anti-vibration functions. This allows users to move and position large equipment into place with added stability using the levelling and anti-vibration features.

The Swivel Brake Bracket has a 4 hole top plate with 80x60mm bolt hole spacing. The load capacity of this castor is 75kg using manual propulsion at 4km/h (walking speed)The Grey Non-Marking Rubber Tyre is a softer wheel compared to hard tread wheels like nylon. The rubber absorbs vibrations whilst in motion making this a low noise option and will not mark or scratch the floor. The roller bearing lowers the rolling resistance to reduce the effort required to move the castors. Together with the strong bracket that has a double ball race in the swivel head, this castors a great choice for many industrial or domestic applications.
This is a 4 hole plate fitting castor and the bolt holes suit an 8mm bolt as well as being slotted (rather than round) to accommodate 80/76mm x 60x44.5mm.
