Castors Wheels

A castors key purpose is to facilitate the easy movement of the item it’s affixed to. Different types make up our range and one of the most important factors when selecting castors is the load capacity in which the castor can withstand so understanding the three different types of castor is paramount to your project requirements. We proudly stock light, medium or heavy duty castors to maximise productivity and minimise long term costs and consist of two main types. Swivel castors – with a 360 swivel, often include a brake for added support. Whilst rigid or fixed castors as they are often called, hold in one position. Common materials for castors include nylon, black rubber, polyurethane, elastic rubber and plastic – each manufactured for use across multiple surfaces. Key things to consider when buying castors are load capacity, type – fixed or swivel, what floors or surface will they be used on, what type of fitting you need and whether or not you require a brake. Our range of castors, whether light, medium or heavy duty, suit a wide range of industries and applications such as medical, industrial, furniture and office and the automotive industry to name a few. In addition to castors, we stock a large selection of castor fittings and castor wheels and if you still require further information, be sure to check out our Guide to Demystifying Castor Terms.
