Product Information

Full details

This heavy-duty swivel castor wheel from Draper is designed for demanding applications requiring robust mobility and high load capacity. Ideal for industrial carts, workshop equipment, or heavy trolleys, it offers superior durability and smooth maneuverability. A key benefit is its polyurethane tread, providing excellent load-bearing capabilities and resistance to wear. However, its heavy-duty nature means it may be over-engineered for lighter domestic tasks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the polyurethane tread?

The polyurethane tread offers high tear strength and is resistant to wear, providing a longer service life (up to twice that of rubber) and good load-carrying capacity.

What is the maximum weight this wheel can support?

The wheel has a Safe Working Load (S.W.L.) of 300kg.

How does the needle roller bearing contribute to performance?

The needle roller bearing ensures smooth rotation under load, distributes weight efficiently, and reduces friction, contributing to easier movement and prolonged bearing life.

Can this wheel be used outdoors?

Yes, it can be used on outdoor surfaces like concrete or asphalt, provided the surface is relatively smooth and free of large debris. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions should be considered.

How often should I lubricate the wheel?

Lubrication frequency depends on usage. For heavy or frequent use, especially in dusty or wet conditions, periodic lubrication via the grease nipple is recommended to maintain performance.

What type of surfaces is this wheel best suited for?

It is best suited for flat, hard surfaces such as concrete, linoleum, sealed wood, and workshop floors. It can handle minor imperfections but is not designed for very rough terrain.

Is it possible to replace only the polyurethane tread?

Typically, the entire wheel unit (including the tread and steel centre) is replaced as a single component when significant wear or damage occurs.

Troubleshooting

Wheel is stiff or difficult to turn

Check for obstructions around the swivel mechanism or wheel. Lubricate the needle roller bearing using the grease nipple. Ensure the wheel is correctly mounted and not overloaded.

Swivel action is jerky or restricted

Clean any debris from the swivel plate and bearing housing. Apply grease to the bearing and swivel mechanism. Verify that the mounting bolts are not overtightened, which can restrict movement.

Polyurethane tread shows signs of wear or damage

Inspect for damage from sharp objects or chemical exposure. If wear is excessive, consider replacing the wheel. Ensure the load capacity is not being exceeded and that the operating surface is appropriate.

Wheel does not support the rated load

Verify that the Safe Working Load (S.W.L.) of 300kg is not exceeded. Ensure the load is evenly distributed across all wheels. Check that the mounting hardware is secure and the wheel itself is not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional load capacity (300kg S.W.L.)
  • Durable polyurethane tread for extended lifespan
  • Smooth maneuverability due to swivel action and roller bearing
  • Suitable for heavy industrial and workshop environments
  • Easy maintenance with integrated grease nipple

Cons

  • May be excessively heavy-duty for light-duty applications
  • Requires appropriate mounting surface for optimal performance
  • Polyurethane can be affected by certain chemicals (consult material compatibility)
  • Higher initial cost compared to lighter-duty casters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Securely attach the swivel plate to the equipment using appropriate bolts or screws that match the pre-drilled holes in the plate. Ensure the mounting surface of the equipment is strong enough to support the wheel's load capacity. For optimal performance and safety, distribute the load evenly across multiple wheels if used in multiples.

Compatibility: This wheel is designed for use on flat, relatively smooth surfaces. It is compatible with most standard industrial equipment requiring castor wheels with a swivel function and high load capacity. The polyurethane tread is generally resistant to many common substances, but prolonged exposure to oils, solvents, or aggressive chemicals may degrade the material. Verify material compatibility if used in chemically exposed environments.

Care: Regularly inspect the wheel for damage, debris, or wear. Clean the polyurethane tread with a damp cloth. Lubricate the needle roller bearing via the grease nipple periodically, especially after heavy use or exposure to dust and moisture, to maintain smooth operation and prevent premature wear. Check that the swivel mechanism remains free of obstruction.
