Castors and Wheels – Boost Mobility and Efficiency
Castors and wheels play a crucial role in improving the mobility of equipment across industries. Whether you're revitalising existing setups or adding movement to static items, these components transform stationary equipment into easily transportable units.
...
You’ll find them on trolleys, platforms, cabinets, workbenches, and many other types of transport systems. With the right castor or wheel, you simplify handling, reduce strain, and increase productivity.
Keystone supply Light Duty, Medium Duty, Heavy Duty and Extra Heavy Duty Castors...and everything in between - from 15kg load capacity to 8,000kg Load Capacity.
Types of Castor Brackets
Understanding castor brackets is key to choosing the right solution. Let’s explore the main types:
Fixed (Rigid) Brackets
These brackets allow only forward and backward movement. They’re perfect when you need controlled, straight-line motion—ideal for guiding carts or equipment along a set path.
Swivel Brackets
For greater flexibility, swivel brackets allow 360-degree rotation. They let your equipment move in any direction with ease. Plus, you can boost safety and control by adding one of several brake types:
Wheel Lock: Stops the wheel from rolling.
Wheel Footbrake: A convenient foot-operated brake to secure the wheel.
Swivel & Wheel Brake (Total Stop Brake): Locks both the swivel and wheel completely—perfect for full stability.
Wide Selection of Castor Wheels
At Keystone Castors & Wheels, we offer a broad range of castor wheels to match different frame types and environments. Our collection includes:
• Nylon – Lightweight and durable

This Twin wheel ... Read More100mm 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 Twin wheel ... Read More75mm Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Castor has a shock absorption function and a bracket made from strong Forged steel that is zinc plated. There is double thrust bearing in the swivel head to achieve a high load capacity and maintain castor performance and durability.The role of the spring in an AGV castor is different to that of a standard shock absorbing castor. In a standard shock absorbing castor, the spring absorbs shock and noise whereas, it's role in a AGV castor is primarily to keep the wheels in contact with the floor.When determining the overall height requirement of a shock absorbing AVG, it should be designed based on the spring cushion being fully compressed.The shock absorbing pad made from a special rubber compound absorbs minor shocks and vibrations to protect the AGV unit. There is a 10mm range of compression which helps prevent the castors from losing contact with the floor which may be caused by small floor imperfections. An AGV's castor leaving the floor when changing directions is often the cause of the AGV becoming unbalanced and coming to a stop by straying off its designated path.The Top Plate is 112mm x 112mm and has 4 bolt holes that are spaced 92mm x 92mm, each with a 9mm hole diameterThis castor frame has two wheels with a Polyurethane tyre (Shore A 95) on an Aluminium centre each containing ball bearings, Having a twin wheel castor is great for reducing the effort required to swivel the castor and most efficient by reducing the amount of room the castor needs to turn the AGV Cart.The polyurethane wheel has excellent elasticity the minimises slipping that can happen when an AGV starts or stops.
