Load check

Enter the weight of the item plus its heaviest load. This castor is rated 65kg 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 Swivel Castor Wheel with Brake
Black Polypropylene Wheel & 4-Hole Top Plate — 65kg Load Capacity

A precision-engineered swivel castor designed for demanding light-to-medium duty applications. Fitted with an integrated foot-operated brake, a pressed steel swivel head, and a durable black polypropylene wheel, this unit delivers controlled, reliable mobility across a wide range of professional and commercial environments.

This 50mm swivel castor with brake is a compact, robust mobility component built for environments where controlled movement and secure stationary locking are equally important. The pressed steel swivel housing provides structural rigidity, while the black polypropylene wheel offers a smooth, quiet roll on hard and semi-hard floor surfaces. The integrated brake engages with a simple foot press, holding the castor firmly in place without the need for additional locking hardware. Mounted via a standard 4-hole top plate, this castor is straightforward to fit to trolleys, display units, workshop benches, light industrial carts, and mobile furniture. With a rated load capacity of 65kg per wheel, a set of four supports up to 195kg — making it a practical choice for a broad range of commercial and light industrial applications.

Key Features

  • Integrated Foot-Operated Brake — Engages instantly to lock the wheel and prevent unintended movement when stationary.
  • Pressed Steel Swivel Head — Provides a strong, durable swivel housing with an 80mm swivel radius for smooth directional changes in confined spaces.
  • Black Polypropylene Wheel — Lightweight, impact-resistant wheel material suited to hard floors, smooth concrete, and sealed surfaces.
  • 4-Hole Top Plate Mounting — Standard bolt-pattern plate (60mm x 60mm, 48/38mm hole centres, 6mm hole diameter) for straightforward, secure installation.
  • 65kg Load Rating Per Wheel — Supports up to 195kg across a set of four castors, suitable for light-to-medium duty loads.
  • 22mm Tread Width — Balanced tread profile for stable tracking and reduced floor marking.
  • Zinc-Plated Swivel Head — Corrosion-resistant finish on the pressed steel housing for extended service life in varied environments.
  • Plain Bearing — Low-maintenance bearing type suited to moderate-speed, regular-use applications.

Technical Specifications

* Maximum load capacity for a set of four castors is calculated at 75% of the combined single-castor rating to account for uneven load distribution in real-world use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the total height of this castor, and how does it affect the clearance of my equipment?
The total castor height from floor to the underside of the top plate is 72mm. This is the measurement to use when calculating the overall raised height of your trolley, bench, or unit once the castors are fitted. Ensure your equipment frame allows for this clearance before ordering.
How does the brake mechanism work, and does it lock both the wheel and the swivel?
The integrated brake is foot-operated — press down to engage, press again to release. On this model, the brake locks the wheel rotation to prevent rolling. It is a wheel-only brake; the swivel head remains free. If you require a total-lock castor that immobilises both the wheel and the swivel, a twin-lock or directional-lock variant would be more appropriate.
What bolt size and fixing pattern do I need to mount this castor?
The top plate measures 60mm x 60mm with hole centres of 48mm x 38mm and a hole diameter of 6mm. This accepts M6 bolts (not included). Ensure your mounting surface is flat and rigid, and use appropriate washers and locking nuts to secure the plate firmly.
Is this castor suitable for outdoor use or damp environments?
The polypropylene wheel is moisture-resistant and will not absorb water, making it suitable for occasional exposure to damp conditions. The pressed steel swivel head carries a zinc-plated finish which provides a degree of corrosion resistance. However, this castor is primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to standing water, outdoor weather, or highly humid environments is not recommended and may reduce the service life of the swivel assembly.
