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.

This 50mm twin wheel swivel castor combines two black polypropylene wheels with a zinc-plated pressed steel housing and a 60mm x 60mm four-hole top plate. Rated to 60kg per castor with a low 72mm fitting height, it bolts flat to the underside of trolleys, cabinets, drawer pedestals, display units and light furniture, giving smooth, easy movement across hard indoor floors.
If you are looking for a 50mm twin wheel castor, a small top plate swivel castor, black plastic trolley castors or replacement castors for furniture and catering equipment, this compact twin wheel design is a dependable, easy-rolling choice.
Why Choose This Castor
- ✓ Twin wheel design lets the two wheels turn independently, so the castor swivels easily with less floor scrubbing.
- ✓ 60kg per castor, 180kg for a set of four.
- ✓ 60mm x 60mm top plate with slotted holes that suit 48mm or 37mm hole centres.
- ✓ Black polypropylene wheels that are light, hard wearing and do not absorb water.
- ✓ Low 72mm height keeps equipment close to the floor.
* Set load is calculated on three castors carrying the weight, to allow for uneven floors. Fixing bolts or screws not included.
Where It Works Best
Ideal for office drawer pedestals and mobile cabinets, hotel luggage and serving trolleys, catering trolleys, light workshop and warehouse dollies, retail display units, storage boxes and furniture that needs to move for cleaning. It runs best on smooth, hard indoor floors such as vinyl, tiles, sealed concrete and laminate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the load capacity of this twin wheel castor?
Each castor is rated to 60kg. A set of four is rated to 180kg, because the load is calculated on three castors to allow for uneven floors.
What size is the top plate and hole pattern?
The plate is 60mm x 60mm with four slotted 6mm holes, so it suits hole centres of either 48mm or 37mm.
How do I fit a top plate castor?
Place the plate flat against the underside of your equipment and fix it through all four holes with bolts and nuts or suitable wood screws. Fixings are not supplied.
Are polypropylene wheels suitable for all floors?
They roll easily on smooth, hard indoor floors. They are firmer and a little noisier than rubber, so for delicate floors or quiet running choose a rubber wheel castor.
Does this castor have a brake?
No, this is a plain swivel castor. Where equipment must stay in place, fit braked castors on at least two corners.
