It has a blue non-marking elastic rubber tyre on a black polypropylene centre running on a roller bearing, and a rigid zinc-plated pressed steel bracket with a 140 x 115mm top plate that bolts straight to the underside of your equipment. Each castor is rated to 300kg and stands 200mm tall. It suits hospital and laboratory trolleys, catering equipment, retail and warehouse trolleys, and anywhere floors must be kept clean and unmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBlue non-marking elastic rubber tyre\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blue elastic rubber tyre is designed not to leave marks on floors, so it is widely used on hospital, laboratory, retail and food-area floors. The tread (hardness A70) absorbs bumps, grips well and runs quietly, and it copes with temperatures from -20°C to +80°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRoller bearing for easier rolling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wheel runs on a roller bearing rather than a plain bore, so it takes less effort to start and keep moving under load, and it wears more evenly over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFixed bracket for straight-line tracking\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fixed castor does not swivel, so it keeps a trolley running straight and stops the back end drifting. Fitting two fixed castors at one end and two swivel castors at the other gives a trolley that tracks straight but still steers easily. The 140 x 115mm plate has four 10mm holes on 105 x 75\/80mm centres and suits M10 bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue non-marking elastic rubber tyre, quiet running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed (rigid) bracket, runs straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoller bearing, 300kg per castor, 900kg for a set of four\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e140 x 115mm top plate, M10 fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200mm total height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rear or fixed end of hospital, care home and laboratory trolleys, catering and food-preparation equipment, retail display and stock trolleys, clean-room carts and warehouse and distribution trolleys.

Check you have a flat area at least 140 x 115mm under each corner for the plate. For a trolley, pair two of these fixed castors with two 160mm blue non-marking swivel castors, or swivel castors with a total lock brake if it must stay put; they share the same 200mm height, so the trolley 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 300kg, choose a heavy-duty 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 M10 bolts and nuts. Fixings are not included. Line both fixed castors up with the direction of travel so the trolley runs true. 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\u003eDoes this castor swivel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a fixed castor that only rolls forwards and backwards.
