FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of this castor wheel?

What does the 'total lock brake system' do?

The total lock brake system secures both the swivel movement and the wheel rotation, effectively immobilizing the castor for maximum stability and safety.

Will this castor wheel leave marks on my floor?

No, the wheel is constructed from non-marking Aluminium and Polyurethane materials, designed to prevent floor markings.

What is the overall height of the castor?

The overall height of the castor wheel, from the base plate to the top of the wheel, is 200mm.

How do I properly install this castor?

Install by securely fastening the plate (137 x 105mm) to a flat, strong surface using appropriate bolts (M11 diameter) through the designated hole centres.

What is the warranty period for this product?

This castor wheel comes with a 2-year guarantee.

What are the dimensions of the mounting plate?

Troubleshooting

Castor wheel is difficult to turn or swivel.

Check for obstructions or debris around the wheel and swivel mechanism. Clean thoroughly and lubricate the swivel bearing if necessary. Ensure mounting bolts are not overtightened, which can bind the plate.

Brake does not fully engage or hold the load.

Ensure the total lock mechanism is fully activated. Inspect the brake lever and locking components for damage or wear. Clean any debris from the braking surfaces. If damage is evident, replacement may be required.

Wheel shows signs of wear or damage.

Inspect the Polyurethane tread for cuts, gouges, or excessive wear. Depending on the severity, the castor may need to be replaced to maintain load capacity and safety.

Castor wobbles or vibrates under load.

Verify that the castor is securely fastened to the equipment. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and stable. Check that the wheel is properly seated and that there is no damage to the wheel or bearings. Uneven load distribution can also cause wobbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and capable of supporting the castor's load capacity.
  2. Align the castor's plate (137 x 105mm) with the desired mounting location.
  3. Use appropriate M11 diameter bolts or screws through the plate's hole centres (105 x 80/75mm) to securely fasten the castor. Ensure fixings are robust and adequately tightened.

Compatibility:

Care:
