Product Information
Full details
The Parnells 80mm Heavy Duty Fixed Castor Set (EC1402) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, high-capacity mobility solution for heavy equipment or industrial furniture. These castors offer an impressive total weight capacity of 480kg, providing exceptional stability and smooth movement across various surfaces. While they are highly durable and non-marking, note that they are fixed-position castors, meaning they do not swivel and are best suited for applications requiring straight-line movement.

FAQs
Can I use these on carpeted floors?
Yes, the nylon wheels are hard enough to roll well on low-pile carpets, though they are optimized for harder, smoother surfaces.
Do these castors swivel?
No, these are fixed castors designed for straight-line movement only.
Are the mounting bolts included?
No, you will need to provide appropriate bolts or screws based on the material of the furniture or equipment you are attaching them to.
Can they be used outdoors?
Nylon is generally weather-resistant, but keep in mind that rough outdoor surfaces like gravel will cause significant wear compared to concrete or wood.
What is the total height of the unit once installed?
The overall height from the bottom of the wheel to the top of the mounting plate is 112mm.
Troubleshooting
Wheel does not rotate smoothly
Check the axle for accumulated debris, hair, or thread and remove it. Ensure the castor is not being overloaded beyond its 120kg per-wheel limit.
Castor plate feels loose after installation
Verify that all four mounting bolts are fully tightened and ensure the mounting surface is perfectly flat to avoid rocking.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High load-bearing capacity of 480kg per set
- Non-marking nylon wheels protect flooring
- Robust construction for heavy-duty applications
- Standard bolt pattern simplifies installation
Cons
- Fixed direction limits maneuverability in tight spaces
- Lacks a locking or braking mechanism
- Nylon wheels may be noisy on rough concrete surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard bolts or screws compatible with the 80mm x 60mm hole centre pattern on the 100mm x 80mm mounting plate. Ensure the mounting surface is rigid and level to avoid undue stress on individual wheels. While nylon is naturally resistant to many chemicals and moisture, keep the castor axles free from debris such as sawdust, hair, or metal shavings, which can accumulate and impede rotation. Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure fasteners remain tight, as vibration from heavy loads can loosen bolts over time.
