Load check
How we work it out: on a real floor one castor is often carrying little or nothing, so we share the weight across one fewer castor than you fit (with 3 castors, across all 3). Tick the box to add a 30% margin for rough use.

Metal Ball Furniture Castor
This 50mm metal ball castor has a bright nickel finish on a cast iron ball wheel, rated at 50kg per castor. Its polished round shape gives chairs, sofas and display furniture a classic look while letting them move and turn easily.
It fits with an 8 x 25mm peg and socket: the socket is fitted into a hole in the leg and the castor's peg simply pushes into it, so the castor can be removed and refitted without tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a peg and socket castor fit?
Drill a hole in the centre of the leg, fit the socket into it, then push the castor's 8 x 25mm peg into the socket until it clicks in.
How much weight can it carry?
Each castor is rated at 50kg, and a set of four up to 150kg.
What is the wheel made of?
The ball wheel is cast iron with a nickel finish.
How tall is the castor?
The total castor height is 56mm.
Will it mark my floor?
The metal ball is hard, so on delicate wooden floors a castor cup or rug underneath helps protect the surface.
Does it swivel?
Yes, it swivels so furniture can be turned and moved easily.
