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.
Floors & use

- Rolls quietly and smoothly
- Kind to most finished floors
- Hard-wearing, carries a high load for its size
- Ideal on concrete, epoxy, vinyl and tiles
- Not intended for very hot areas
- Less cushioning than rubber over rough ground

Red Polyurethane Directional Lock Castors
Fitted with a directional lock, this 160mm castor lets you fix the wheel in a straight line for controlled travel, then release it to swivel and manoeuvre in confined spaces. The maroon-red polyurethane wheel on a nylon core carries up to 350kg per castor, suiting warehouse trolleys, hospital equipment, industrial carts and retail displays.
The D60 tread balances grip and durability on smooth, hard floors, and the roller bearing gives smooth rotation. This directional lock castor fixes securely with a 137 x 105mm plate, has a 135mm swivel radius, stands 200mm tall and works from -40°C to +80°C.
