Product Information

Full details

This 75mm Swivel Thermoplastic Castor Wheel from Loops is designed for users needing smooth, stable mobility for medium-duty applications. Its key benefit is effortless movement with floor protection, though its 60kg load capacity means it's not suitable for extremely heavy items. The castor features a durable thermoplastic rubber wheel with a polypropylene core, a swivel design for easy directional changes, and a bolt hole fixing for secure attachment. It offers a blend of maneuverability and robustness for workshops, trolleys, and furniture.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this castor can support?

This castor has a maximum load capacity of 60kg.

What type of fixing does this castor use?

It uses a bolt hole fixing, meaning you will need to use a bolt to attach it securely.

Will these castors damage my floors?

No, the thermoplastic rubber wheels are designed to be non-marking and are gentle on most floor surfaces.

What is the diameter of the bolt hole?

The plate hole diameter is 10.5mm.

Can I use these on carpet?

While they can roll on carpet, they are best suited for smooth, flat surfaces for optimal performance and reduced effort.

How do I lubricate the swivel mechanism?

A small amount of light machine oil applied to the swivel bearing should suffice. Avoid over-lubrication.

What is the overall height of the castor?

The overall height from the mounting plate to the bottom of the wheel is 98mm.

Troubleshooting

Castor wheel is stiff or difficult to turn.

Check for any debris or obstructions around the wheel or swivel mechanism. Clean the wheel and, if necessary, apply a small amount of light oil to the swivel bearing.

Wheel leaves marks on the floor.

Ensure the wheels are clean. While thermoplastic rubber is generally non-marking, heavy dirt or certain floor finishes might react. Clean the wheels regularly.

Uneven rolling or wobbling.

Verify that the castor is securely bolted to the surface and that all mounting hardware is tightened. Ensure the surface it's rolling on is flat and free of significant imperfections.

Castor seems overloaded or is sagging.

Confirm that the total weight of the item being moved does not exceed the castor's 60kg individual load capacity or the combined capacity of all attached castors. Distribute weight evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides smooth and effortless mobility.
  • Non-marking wheels protect flooring from scratches.
  • Secure bolt hole fixing ensures stability.
  • Suitable for medium-duty applications with a 60kg load capacity.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.

Cons

  • Not suitable for very heavy loads exceeding 60kg.
  • Requires a flat surface for optimal performance.
  • Swivel action might be less precise on uneven terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the surface where the castor will be mounted is clean and dry.
  2. Positioning: Place the castor's mounting plate over the desired location.
  3. Securing: Align the bolt hole with the mounting point. Use an appropriate bolt (not included) that fits through the 10.5mm plate hole diameter and securely fasten it to the base or furniture.
  4. Repeat: Attach additional castors as needed, ensuring they are evenly spaced for balanced weight distribution.

Compatibility:

This castor is designed for bolt hole fixing and is compatible with any surface that can accommodate a bolt through its mounting plate. It performs best on flat, smooth surfaces. Check the total load requirement of your item and ensure it does not exceed the combined load capacity of the castors used (e.g., four castors at 60kg each = 240kg total capacity).

Care:

  • Periodically check that the fixing bolt remains tight.
  • Clean the wheels with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Lubricate the swivel mechanism if movement becomes stiff, using a light oil.
