Replacing an old castor? Measure between the centres of two fixing holes along the long edge, then across the short edge, and compare with the hole centres above. Allow the swivel radius as clear space around each castor so it can turn freely.

Load check

Enter the weight of the item plus its heaviest load. This castor is rated 65 kg each.

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.

Floors & use

Nylon / polypropylene wheel

  • Very easy to push, even when loaded
  • Resists water, oil and many chemicals
  • Hard-wearing and easy to wipe clean
  • Best on smooth concrete and hard floors
  • Noisier than rubber or polyurethane
  • Hard tread can mark or damage soft and delicate floors
  • Rolls poorly over debris and cables

Details & FAQs

50mm Pressed Steel Fixed Castor — Black Polypropylene Wheel, 4-Bolt Top Plate, 65 kg Load Capacity

A compact, robust fixed castor engineered for reliable straight-line mobility across furniture, display units, and light industrial equipment. Constructed with a pressed steel top plate and a durable polypropylene wheel, this castor delivers consistent, low-maintenance performance in commercial and domestic settings alike.

This 50 mm fixed castor is purpose-built for applications where controlled, directional movement is required. Unlike swivel castors, the fixed configuration keeps the wheel aligned in a single plane, making it the preferred choice for the rear positions of trolleys, carts, and furniture frames where straight tracking is essential.

The pressed steel top plate provides a rigid, secure mounting surface, while the 4-bolt hole pattern ensures a firm, vibration-resistant connection to the host structure. The black polypropylene wheel offers a practical balance of hardness and resilience, performing reliably on smooth concrete, tile, vinyl, and laminate flooring without marking or excessive noise. With a rated load capacity of 65 kg per castor and a combined capacity of 195 kg across a set of four, this unit is well suited to a broad range of light-to-medium duty tasks.

Commonly specified for office furniture, retail display stands, hospitality trolleys, workshop benches, and storage units, this fixed castor is a dependable, cost-effective mobility solution for everyday professional use.

Key Features

  • Castor Type Fixed — maintains a constant direction of travel for straight-line movement

Typical Applications

  • Office Furniture — desks, filing cabinets, and mobile pedestals requiring controlled directional movement
  • Retail Display Units — gondola shelving, display stands, and point-of-sale fixtures that need repositioning
  • Hospitality Trolleys — service carts and linen trolleys in hotels, restaurants, and catering environments
  • Workshop & Storage Equipment — tool benches, parts bins, and storage racks on smooth workshop floors
  • Light Industrial Carts — picking trolleys, assembly line carts, and warehouse dollies with moderate load requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a fixed castor and a swivel castor?
A fixed castor has a wheel that rotates in one direction only, keeping the load moving in a straight line. A swivel castor includes a rotating head that allows the wheel to turn 360°, enabling multi-directional movement. Fixed castors are typically used in combination with swivel castors — for example, two fixed castors at the rear and two swivel castors at the front of a trolley — to provide both directional stability and manoeuvrability.
How do I fit this castor to my furniture or equipment?
This castor uses a 4-bolt top plate fixing method. The pressed steel plate measures 60 mm (length) x 67 mm (width), with bolt hole centres of 48 mm or 38 mm in both directions and a hole diameter of 6 mm. To fit, align the plate with the pre-drilled holes on your furniture or equipment frame and secure using four M6 bolts (not included). Ensure the mounting surface is flat and structurally sound to achieve the rated load capacity.
Is this castor suitable for use on hard floors such as tile, concrete, or laminate?
Yes. The polypropylene wheel is well suited to smooth, hard floor surfaces including tile, sealed concrete, vinyl, and laminate. It rolls quietly and does not leave marks under normal operating conditions. It is not recommended for use on soft or uneven surfaces such as carpet, gravel, or outdoor terrain, where a softer wheel material would be more appropriate.
How many castors do I need, and what is the combined load capacity?
Each castor is rated to carry 65 kg. When four castors are used together, the combined maximum load capacity is 195 kg. Note that the combined figure is not simply four times the individual rating — a safety margin is applied to account for uneven load distribution across the four mounting points. Always ensure the total weight of the loaded item does not exceed 195 kg when using a set of four of these castors.

* All measurements are nominal. Load capacities are based on static conditions on flat, smooth surfaces at ambient temperature. For dynamic or high-cycle applications, consult load ratings with an appropriate safety factor applied.
