A directional brake locks the swivel action to convert the castor into a fixed-direction wheel, giving operators precise control over movement. Mounted via a 4-hole top plate, it is designed for demanding environments where reliable load-bearing mobility and controlled stopping are both essential — including industrial trolleys, workshop carts, platform trucks, storage racking, and heavy-duty commercial furniture.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pc-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e 80mm — delivers smooth, stable rolling across hard and semi-hard floor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e 120kg per castor (360kg for a set of 4 at recommended loading)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Material\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey cast iron — hard-wearing, high-density material suited to heavy industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTread Width\u003c\/strong\u003e 30mm — broad contact patch for load distribution and floor stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTread Hardness\u003c\/strong\u003e 85 Shore A — firm tread for efficient rolling on solid surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Type\u003c\/strong\u003e Directional brake — locks swivel rotation to fix the direction of travel;

Due to their hardness (85 Shore A), they are not recommended for use on delicate or polished floors such as hardwood, vinyl, or ceramic tiles, as they may cause surface marking or damage under load.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I calculate how many castors I need for my application?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-faq-a\"\u003eDivide the total weight of your loaded equipment by the number of castors you intend to fit, then apply a safety factor. As a general guide, a set of 4 of these castors supports up to 360kg in total. For uneven floors or dynamic loads (e.g. moving over ramps or thresholds), it is advisable to use a lower working load than the stated maximum to account for impact forces.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-faq-q\"\u003eWhat are the plate hole dimensions and bolt size required for fitting?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-faq-a\"\u003eThe 4-hole top plate measures 100mm (length) x 85mm (width). The hole centres span 60mm or 80mm in width, and each hole has a diameter of 10mm. Standard M8 bolts are typically compatible with 10mm plate holes — always verify against your specific mounting surface and hardware before installation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-note\"\u003e* Load capacities stated are for static or slow-speed rolling conditions on level, hard surfaces.
