Replacing an old castor? Measure between the centres of two fixing holes along the long edge, then across the short edge, and compare with the hole centres above. Allow the swivel radius as clear space around each castor so it can turn freely.
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
Nylon / polypropylene wheel
- Very easy to push, even when loaded
- Resists water, oil and many chemicals
- Hard-wearing and easy to wipe clean
- Best on smooth concrete and hard floors
- Noisier than rubber or polyurethane
- Hard tread can mark or damage soft and delicate floors
- Rolls poorly over debris and cables
Details & FAQs
Heavy Duty Braked Top Plate Castor
This compact 50mm heavy duty braked swivel castor carries up to 200kg per castor while standing only 71mm tall. A solid black nylon wheel on a ball bearing rolls easily under load, and a foot operated brake holds machinery, cabinets and heavy furniture firmly in place.
The black finished pressed steel housing gives a neat, low profile look, and the 71 x 55mm top plate with four 6mm holes bolts flat under bases where space is tight. Solid nylon will not flatten or split and shrugs off oil and most chemicals.
Why Choose This Castor
- ✓ Foot operated brake to hold the load in place
- ✓ 200kg load capacity per castor
- ✓ Low 71mm overall height
- ✓ Solid nylon wheel that resists flat spots, oil and chemicals
- ✓ Ball bearing for smooth rolling under load
- ✓ Black finished pressed steel housing and compact 71 x 55mm plate
Load capacity is per castor. For a set of four, allow for uneven floors by planning on three castors carrying the load.
Where It Works Best
Machine bases, workbenches, heavy cabinets, server and equipment racks, low dollies and display platforms that need a strong low castor that can be locked in place. Best on smooth hard floors such as sealed concrete, vinyl and epoxy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the brake work?
Press the pedal down with your foot to lock the wheel. Lift the release tab with your toe to let it roll again.
How much weight can this castor carry?
Each castor is rated at 200kg. A set of four is best used for loads up to around 600kg, allowing for uneven floors.
What size bolts do I need?
The 71 x 55mm top plate has four 6mm holes on 50 x 35mm centres, so M5 or M6 bolts are a good fit.
How much space does it need?
The overall height is 71mm and the castor needs 76mm of clearance to swivel freely with the brake pedal.
Is there a matching swivel castor?
Yes, a matching 50mm heavy duty swivel castor without a brake is available, so you can fit two braked and two plain castors.
