Description
Precision-Engineered 160mm Braked Swivel Castor for Demanding Industrial Applications
Where controlled mobility meets floor protection, this premium bolt-hole castor delivers exceptional load capacity with the compliance and resilience of blue elastic rubber—engineered for environments that demand both performance and surface preservation.
Technical Specification
Engineering Advantages
Blue Elastic Rubber Tyre Technology
The elastic rubber compound delivers superior floor protection across sensitive surfaces—polished concrete, epoxy coatings, vinyl, and timber—while maintaining exceptional grip and shock absorption. The distinctive blue formulation resists marking, offers low rolling resistance, and provides quiet operation even under sustained loads.
Reinforced Nylon Centre Hub
Precision-moulded nylon centre construction ensures dimensional stability, corrosion immunity, and weight reduction without compromising structural integrity. The hub geometry distributes radial and lateral forces evenly, extending bearing life and maintaining true rotation under dynamic loading conditions.
Integrated Braking System
The swivel-mounted brake mechanism locks both wheel rotation and swivel movement simultaneously, providing secure immobilisation when equipment must remain stationary. Foot-operated actuation allows hands-free control, critical in material handling and process workflows.
Bolt Hole Mounting Platform
Four-point bolt-hole fixing delivers maximum rigidity and load distribution, ideal for fabricated steel frames, aluminium extrusions, and composite platforms. The mounting pattern accommodates standard M10 or M12 fasteners, ensuring compatibility with industrial equipment specifications.
Recommended Applications
- Material Handling Equipment: Platform trolleys, service carts, and transport dollies requiring controlled mobility and secure parking
- Industrial Workstations: Mobile benches, tool cabinets, and assembly stations where floor protection and stability are paramount
- Healthcare & Institutional: Medical carts, linen trolleys, and service equipment operating on vinyl, linoleum, and polished floors
- Retail & Hospitality: Display fixtures, catering equipment, and housekeeping carts demanding quiet, non-marking performance
- Warehouse & Logistics: Order-picking trolleys, bin systems, and staging equipment in distribution environments
Performance Characteristics
Installation Guidance
Bolt-hole mounting requires direct fastening through the top plate into the equipment frame or chassis. Ensure mounting surface is flat, rigid, and capable of supporting the combined load of equipment and payload.
- Position castor mounting plate on equipment frame, aligning bolt holes with pre-drilled or marked locations
- Insert appropriate grade fasteners (M10 or M12) through mounting holes into threaded inserts or through-bolted connections
- Torque fasteners to manufacturer specifications, ensuring even clamping force across all mounting points
- Verify swivel rotation is unobstructed and brake mechanism engages fully in both locked and released positions
- Test under load to confirm secure attachment and proper operational performance
Maintenance & Care
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check mounting fasteners for tightness and inspect tyre for wear, cuts, or embedded debris
- Bearing Lubrication: Apply light machine oil to swivel bearing race and wheel axle as needed to maintain smooth rotation
- Brake Function: Test brake engagement regularly; clean brake mechanism of dust and contamination to ensure reliable operation
- Surface Cleaning: Wipe tyre surface with damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt that may affect floor contact and rolling performance
- Load Compliance: Operate within rated load capacity to prevent premature wear and maintain safety margins
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured to exacting standards for industrial mobility hardware, this castor meets the performance expectations of demanding commercial and institutional environments.
