FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity per castor?

Each castor has a maximum load capacity of 60kg.

What material is the wheel made of?

The wheel is made of thermoplastic with a durable polypropylene core.

What type of fixing does this castor have?

It features a plate fixing type with dimensions of 65 x 65mm.

Can these castors be used outdoors?

While the thermoplastic material offers some resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions is not recommended for optimal longevity. They are best suited for indoor workshop or garage environments.

What is the overall height of the castor?

The overall height of the castor from the bottom of the wheel to the top of the mounting plate is 100mm.

Are mounting screws included?

No, mounting screws or bolts are not included and must be sourced separately based on your application's material and thickness.

Troubleshooting

Castor does not swivel freely.

Check for any obstructions around the swivel mechanism. Clean any debris and consider applying a small amount of lubricant.

Wheel wobbles during movement.

Ensure the mounting plate is securely fastened to the surface. Check if the wheel itself is damaged or if there is debris lodged in the axle.

Load capacity is exceeded.

Reduce the weight of the item being moved. For heavier loads, consider using castors with a higher load rating or more castors.
