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
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
Brass Furniture Castor
This 32mm brass swivel castor pairs a solid brass wheel and brass fork with a black rubber tyre, rated at 80kg per castor. The rubber band set into the brass tread rolls softly and quietly, so traditional furniture keeps its period look while being kinder to wooden, laminate and tiled floors.
The castor fixes with a wood screw that drives straight up into the bottom of a timber leg, backed by a 32mm round steel plate with small screw holes for extra hold. The swivel head turns a full 360 degrees, so armchairs, sofas, footstools and cabinets move and turn easily at home, in offices and in hotels.
Why Choose This Castor

- ✓ Screw fitting: simply screw into the bottom of a wooden leg
- ✓ 32mm round plate for extra fixing

- ✓ Offices: traditional desk pedestals, cabinets and bookcases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fit a screw fitting castor?
Drill a small pilot hole in the centre of the bottom of the wooden leg, screw the castor in until the round plate sits flat, then add small screws through the plate holes if needed.
What size is the screw?
The wood screw is 5.8mm in diameter and 32mm long.
How much weight can it carry?
Each castor is rated at 80kg, and a set of four up to 240kg.
Will the rubber tyre mark my floor?
The black rubber tyre is softer and quieter than a plain brass wheel and is kinder to wooden floors. On very light floors, test on a hidden area first.
What is the difference from the plain brass wheel?
The plain brass wheel is harder and suits rugs and carpets, while this rubber-tyred wheel rolls more quietly and suits hard floors.
How tall is the castor?
The total castor height is 45mm.
