In order to purchase the correct Castor there are some critical dimensions we require to ensure we supply the correct wheel.
The information above will give our technical sales people the basis to take your enquiry forward if you wish to continue the selection process unaided please read below.
Health & Safety:
The correct castor must be selected for the require application, cutting corner or trying to save money with cheaper or lighting loading carrying products is extremely dangerous and could cause manual handling injuries. Safety must come first!
Castor Selection Criteria
Load Capacity
Load Capacity are calculated in two methods depend on the anticipated type of load. First establish if the loads are Liquid or Solid then apply the following:
(All of our advertised load ratings are based on the assumption that the floor surface is level and compact with no obstructions)
Liquid Loads: If the load consist of liquids our calculation considers that the load can move and could be over just two castors at one time:
Weight of Application including Trolley
Load capacity of castor = ———————————————————-
2
Solid Loads: Working to the principle that the application might not be parallel with the ground if the ground surface is uneven then only three castors will be supporting the load.
Weight of Application including Trolley
Load capacity of castor = ———————————————————-
3
Wheel Diameter
The basic principle to work to is that the Larger the wheel diameter the less resistance it requires to move and therefore a consideration at the design stage for any application using castors, if regular
movement is required.
Wheel Types
Before Selecting a wheel it is important to determine if the wheel material is compatible with the chemical environmental conditions, the temperature and humidity, all of which effect the wheels operation.
Wheels are available in a large variety of materials all of which are suitable for different environments and working condition. Basic Principles applied: The Harder a Wheel Tread the Easier the wheel will move and the less resistance to start motion. The Strongest wheel are Steel Wheels which will carry the highest loads and with-standard the worst condition however they will damage floors and be noisy.
7.Blue Elastic Rubber Castor Wheels this is a non marking elastic rubber which improves the load rating of the wheel.
12.Pneumatic Tyred Castor Wheels a great solution if your application needs to work over rough terrain.
Bearings
Plain Bore
Normally part of the moulded wheel or a nylon bush may have been inserted so the wheel will run directly on a shaft or axle.
Needle Roller Bearings
A cage holds steel roller together (needles) this will be found in the bore of wheel measure as the final required bore. Needle roller bearings will reduce friction between the axle or shaft and the wheel.
Ball Bearings
Precision Steel Balls encapsulated in a steel cage will reduce the friction between the wheel and axle of shaft – best suited for very high loads

The distance from the centre of the castor head fitting to the outside of the wheel is known as swivel radius and is very important to ensure your castor does not foul on your application when rotating 360 degrees.
Speed
Castors are designed to travel at 4kph , if your application is going faster then please talk to our technical sales team
