It has a black rubber tyre on a black polypropylene centre running on a roller bearing, a zinc-plated pressed steel housing, a 105 x 85mm top plate and a foot-operated total lock brake that holds both the wheel and the swivel head. Each castor is rated to 70kg and stands 108mm tall. It suits workshop and tool trolleys, machine and equipment stands, warehouse and stockroom trolleys, and workbenches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBlack rubber tyre – quiet, grippy and hard-wearing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black rubber tyre (hardness A85) absorbs small bumps, grips well and runs far more quietly than a hard nylon or steel wheel. It copes with temperatures from -20°C to +80°C. Black rubber can leave dark marks on pale or polished floors, so for hospitals, shops and clean areas choose the grey or blue non-marking versions instead.\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\u003eTotal lock brake – wheel and swivel held together\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard wheel brake stops the wheel rolling but still lets the castor spin round. This castor's foot brake locks the wheel and the swivel head at the same time, so equipment stays exactly where you park it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack rubber tyre, quiet and hard-wearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal lock foot brake locks wheel and swivel together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoller bearing, 70kg per castor, 210kg for a set of four\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e105 x 85mm top plate, M8 fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e108mm total height, 118mm swivel radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorkshop and tool trolleys, machine and equipment stands, warehouse, stockroom and garage trolleys, and workbenches.

Check you have a flat area at least 105 x 85mm under each corner for the plate. For brakes, most equipment has total lock castors on two corners and plain swivel castors on the other two. 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 70kg, choose a larger wheel. Allow 118mm 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 M8 bolts and nuts. Fixings are not included. Fit the castor so the brake pedal faces outwards where your foot can reach it. Check the fixings after the first few weeks, keep the wheel and brake clear of threads and debris, and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Keep the rubber tyre away from oils and solvents. Bring equipment to rest before applying the brake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the black wheel mark my floor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack rubber can leave dark marks on pale or polished floors, especially when turning under load.
