It has a grey non-marking rubber tyre with a fine ribbed tread on a spoked black polypropylene centre running on a roller bearing, a zinc-plated pressed steel housing and a 140 x 110mm top plate that bolts straight to the underside of your equipment. Each castor is rated to 150kg and stands 200mm tall. It suits office and school furniture, shop and stockroom trolleys, catering and cleaning trolleys, workbenches and light display units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eGrey rubber tyre – quiet and floor-friendly\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grey rubber tyre is a non-marking compound, so it will not leave the dark scuffs that black rubber can, and it absorbs small bumps and runs quietly on hard floors. The tread (hardness A80) rolls easily under load. It copes with temperatures from -20°C to +80°C. Grey rubber is a lighter-duty wheel than the blue elastic rubber range, and is the economical choice where loads are moderate.\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\u003eFree swivel, top plate fixing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe swivel head turns a full 360 degrees so the castor follows the direction you push.

Check you have a flat area at least 140 x 110mm 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 160mm grey rubber castor with a total lock brake has the same 140 x 110mm plate and 200mm height, 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 150kg, choose a larger wheel or the blue elastic rubber range. Allow 136mm 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 M10 bolts and nuts.

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 grey wheel mark my floor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrey rubber is a non-marking compound, so it will not leave the dark scuffs black rubber can.
