It has a blue non-marking elastic rubber tyre on a black polypropylene centre running on a roller bearing, a zinc-plated pressed steel housing and a 105 x 85mm top plate that bolts straight to the underside of your equipment. Each castor is rated to 160kg and stands 128mm tall.

Check you have a flat area at least 105 x 85mm under each corner for the plate. This castor has no brake: most equipment has braked castors on two corners and plain swivel castors like this one on the other two. The matching 100mm blue non-marking castor with a total lock brake has the same height and plate, so a mixed set sits level. For the load, add up the weight of the item and everything on it and divide by three rather than four, because on an uneven floor one castor is often lifted; if the answer is over 160kg, choose a larger wheel. Allow 90mm of swivel clearance around each castor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation, use and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHold the plate flat against the base and fix it through all four holes with M8 bolts and nuts. Fixings are not included. Check the fixings after the first few weeks, keep the wheel clear of threads and debris, and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Keep the rubber tyre away from oils and solvents, which can soften rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the blue wheel mark my floor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The blue elastic rubber tyre is a non-marking compound, chosen for hospital, laboratory and retail floors where marks are not acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size bolts do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe plate holes are 8mm, so use M8 bolts and nuts.
