FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity for this set of castors?

Each castor has a load capacity of 200kg, making the total load capacity for the set of four 800kg.

Are all four castors the same type?

No, the set includes two standard swivel castors for easy maneuverability and two swivel castors that also feature a brake mechanism for securing the item in place.

What is the wheel material and hardness?

The wheels are made of solid black rubber with a hardness of 85° Shore A, designed for durability and floor protection.

What are the dimensions of the top plate and mounting holes?

The top plate measures 135x110mm, with mounting hole centers at 105x80mm and hole sizes of 11mm.

Can these castors be used on surfaces where oil is present?

These castors offer good chemical resistance, but they are not suitable for prolonged exposure to oils, which may degrade the rubber.

What is the overall height of the castors?

The overall height from the bottom of the wheel to the top of the mounting plate is 238mm.

Are mounting bolts included with the castors?

No, mounting bolts and associated hardware are not included and must be sourced separately to match the specific mounting requirements.

Troubleshooting

Castor not swiveling smoothly

Check for debris lodged in the swivel mechanism or wheel. Clean thoroughly. If the issue persists, check the top plate mounting and ensure it is not causing undue stress on the swivel.

Brake not engaging or holding securely

Inspect the brake mechanism for obstructions or damage. Ensure the brake lever is fully engaged. Tighten any loose components of the brake linkage.

Wheel wobbles or feels loose

Verify that the roller bearing is properly seated and that the wheel is securely attached to its axle. Check that the mounting bolts for the castor are fully tightened.

Reduced load capacity or instability

Ensure all four castors are installed correctly and that the load is evenly distributed. Check that the total weight does not exceed the set's capacity of 800kg. Inspect for any cracks or damage to the castors or mounting points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves the maneuverability of heavy waste bins.
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
  • Brake feature adds stability and safety when stationary.
  • Protects floors from scratches and marks.
  • Quiet operation reduces noise pollution.

Cons

  • Requires secure mounting; improper installation can lead to failure.
  • Not resistant to oils, which may limit use in certain environments.
  • Larger size may not be suitable for all bin types or confined spaces.
  • Requires tools and basic mechanical skill for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the waste bin or equipment has a suitable, robust base for mounting.
  2. Align the top plate of each castor with the intended mounting points.
  3. Mark the drilling locations through the 11mm mounting holes on the top plate.
  4. Drill the holes to accommodate appropriate M8 or equivalent bolts and washers (not included).
  5. Securely fasten each castor using nuts and bolts. Ensure all bolts are tightened firmly but do not overtighten, which could damage the mounting surface.
  6. For castors with brakes, ensure they are oriented for easy access and operation.

Compatibility:

These castors are designed for use on equipment with a flat mounting surface and can accommodate a total load of up to 800kg for the set. The mounting hole centers are 105x80mm, and the hole size is 11mm. Ensure your equipment's base can support these dimensions and the required load.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect castors for wear and tear, especially the wheel tread and mounting points.
  • Clean the wheels and bearings with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents.
  • Check and retighten mounting bolts as needed to ensure continued secure attachment.
  • Lubricate the roller bearings occasionally if experiencing stiffness, using a light machine oil.
