Description
100mm Pressed Steel Fixed Castor — Grey Cast Iron Wheel & 4-Bolt-Hole Plate — 140kg Load Capacity
A precision-engineered fixed castor built for demanding industrial and commercial environments. Constructed from heavy-gauge pressed steel with a grey cast iron wheel, this castor delivers consistent, reliable directional movement under substantial loads — making it the preferred choice for equipment that requires stability over manoeuvrability.
This fixed castor is designed for applications where straight-line movement and structural rigidity are paramount. The grey cast iron wheel offers excellent resistance to deformation under sustained load, while the pressed steel housing provides a robust, long-lasting frame. Suitable for use on hard, smooth, and semi-smooth floor surfaces across warehousing, manufacturing, retail, and hospitality settings.
Key Performance Features
- 140kg load capacity per castor — supporting up to 420kg across a standard 4-castor configuration
- 100mm grey cast iron wheel for superior durability and resistance to deformation under sustained load
- Heavy-gauge pressed steel housing with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
- Ball journal bearing for smooth, low-friction rotation and consistent rolling performance
- 4-bolt-hole top plate for secure, stable mounting to equipment frames and bases
- Fixed (non-swivel) design ensures straight-line directional control — ideal for guided trolleys and fixed-leg equipment
- 85 Shore A wheel hardness — optimised for hard and semi-smooth floor surfaces
- 30mm tread width provides a stable contact footprint and even load distribution

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fixed castor and a swivel castor?
A fixed castor is mounted in a stationary position and only allows movement in a single, straight-line direction. A swivel castor rotates 360 degrees, enabling multi-directional movement. Fixed castors are typically used in combination with swivel castors — for example, two fixed at the rear and two swivel at the front — to provide both directional control and manoeuvrability. For equipment that travels in a straight line only, all-fixed configurations are common.
What floor surfaces are grey cast iron wheel castors suitable for?
Grey cast iron wheels perform best on hard, smooth, or semi-smooth floor surfaces such as concrete, stone, ceramic tile, and sealed screed. They are not recommended for use on soft flooring, delicate surfaces, or floors where noise reduction is a priority, as cast iron wheels are rigid and can mark or damage softer materials. For sensitive floors, a rubber or polyurethane wheel would be more appropriate.
How do I calculate the correct load capacity for my application?
To calculate the required load capacity per castor, divide the total weight of the loaded equipment by the number of castors, then apply a safety factor of approximately 1.3 to 1.5 to account for uneven load distribution and dynamic forces during movement. For example, a 300kg trolley on 4 castors requires each castor to handle at least 75kg — but with a safety factor, a 140kg-rated castor is the appropriate choice. This castor supports up to 420kg across a standard 4-castor configuration.
What does the 4-bolt-hole plate measurement mean and how do I check compatibility?
The 4-bolt-hole plate refers to the top mounting plate with four fixing holes arranged in a rectangular pattern. The key measurements are the hole centres — the distance between the holes measured centre-to-centre — and the hole diameter. For this castor, the hole centres are 80mm (length) x 60mm (width) and the hole diameter is 9mm, on a plate measuring 100mm x 85mm. To confirm compatibility, measure the existing bolt pattern on your equipment and match it to these dimensions before ordering.
