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 60 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

Rubber tread

  • Cushions the load and soaks up vibration
  • Quiet on most surfaces
  • Copes with uneven floors, thresholds and outdoor use
  • Good grip on smooth floors
  • Takes more effort to push than nylon under heavy loads
  • Oils and solvents shorten tyre life

Details & FAQs

80mm Pressed Steel Swivel Castor with Directional Brake

Premium mobility solution engineered for controlled manoeuvrability and straight-line guidance in light to medium-duty applications.

This 80mm pressed steel swivel castor combines precision engineering with practical functionality, delivering smooth 360-degree rotation alongside directional brake control for straight-line travel when required. Designed for trolleys, mobile workstations, handling equipment, and industrial carts, it offers reliable performance across indoor commercial and workshop environments.

The black rubber on polypropylene wheel provides floor-friendly rolling with vibration dampening, while the ball journal bearing ensures effortless swivel action under load. With a 60kg capacity per castor and a compact 106mm total height, this unit delivers dependable mobility for equipment requiring both manoeuvrability and controlled directional movement.

Performance Features

Directional Brake Control

Swivel head locks to maintain straight-line travel, ideal for trolleys requiring controlled directional movement alongside full manoeuvrability.

Ball Journal Bearing

Precision bearing system delivers smooth 360-degree rotation with reduced rolling resistance, enhancing manoeuvrability under load.

Floor-Friendly Rubber Tread

Black rubber wheel with 85 Shore A hardness provides controlled rolling, vibration dampening, and floor protection across indoor surfaces.

Pressed Steel Construction

Zinc-plated pressed steel housing ensures structural integrity and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability in commercial environments.

Compact Profile

106mm total height and 80mm wheel diameter deliver low-profile mobility suitable for space-conscious applications and equipment clearance requirements.

Secure Top Plate Fixing

4-hole top plate with 60mm × 80mm centres and 10mm diameter holes ensures reliable mounting to trolleys, carts, and mobile equipment.

Ideal Applications

  • Trolleys and carts requiring directional guidance and swivel manoeuvrability
  • Mobile workstations and workshop equipment in industrial settings
  • Handling and transport equipment for light to medium-duty loads
  • Commercial and retail display units with controlled movement requirements
  • Indoor applications where straight-line travel and floor protection are essential
  • Service carts, utility trolleys, and mobile storage solutions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a directional brake and a total lock brake?

A directional brake locks the swivel mechanism to maintain straight-line travel while the wheel continues to roll forward and backward. A total lock brake stops both the swivel and the wheel rotation completely. Directional brakes are ideal when you need controlled movement in one direction, such as guiding a trolley down an aisle.

Can this castor be used on all floor types?

This castor is designed for indoor use on smooth, hard surfaces such as concrete, tile, vinyl, and sealed wood flooring. The black rubber wheel with 85 Shore A hardness provides floor-friendly rolling and vibration reduction. It is not recommended for outdoor use, rough terrain, or soft surfaces like carpet.

How do I determine the correct load capacity for my application?

Calculate the total weight of your equipment plus the maximum load it will carry, then divide by the number of castors. Each castor should support its share with a safety margin. For example, if your loaded trolley weighs 200kg and uses four castors, each castor bears approximately 50kg—well within this model's 60kg capacity. Always account for uneven weight distribution and dynamic loads.

What mounting hardware is required for installation?

This castor features a 4-hole top plate with 10mm diameter holes positioned at 60mm × 80mm centres. You will need four M10 bolts, washers, and nuts (or equivalent fasteners) to secure the plate to your equipment. Ensure the mounting surface is flat, rigid, and capable of supporting the load. Fasteners are not included with the castor.
