The product description does not specify an exact weight capacity, but the heavy-duty steel construction suggests suitability for substantial loads. It is recommended to assess the load based on the material and method of attachment.
No, the pack contains 4 fixed castors and 4 swivel castors with brakes, providing a combination of mobility and stability.
The fixing holes are 7mm in diameter. You should use screws or bolts appropriate for your mounting material and the load you intend to carry, ensuring they fit snugly through the holes.
While the solid rubber tires are puncture-resistant, the steel components may be susceptible to rust over time if exposed to prolonged moisture. For outdoor use, consider applying a rust-inhibiting coating to the steel parts.
Simply push the lever down with your foot to engage the brake. To release, push the lever back up.
Fixed castors only roll in a straight line, providing directional stability. Swivel castors can rotate 360 degrees, allowing for easy changes in direction and greater maneuverability.
Check for any debris or obstructions around the swivel head. Ensure the mounting plate is not warped or overly tight, which could restrict rotation. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the ball bearings if necessary.
Clean the brake lever and pivot point. Check for any dirt or material buildup that might be impeding movement. Ensure the brake is pushed down firmly to engage and pulled up fully to release.
Verify that all four mounting bolts on the fixing plate are securely tightened to the surface. Check the centre of the wheel for any looseness on the hub; if present, this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Ensure all castors are installed at the same height and are making consistent contact with the ground. Check that the load is evenly distributed across all castors. Inspect tires for any damage or embedded debris.
