Castors and Wheels: Enhancing Mobility for Your Equipment
Castors and wheels are essential components designed to add mobility to various types of equipment. They are commonly used on trolley, platforms, cabinets, workbenches, and other transportation devices. Whether you’re replacing existing castors or adding them to s...tationary equipment, these components transform static items into mobile units, making movement and transportation easier.
Types of Castor Brackets
Fixed (Rigid) Brackets: Fixed brackets allow movement in only two directions—forward and backward—providing straight-line movement. They are ideal for applications where controlled, linear mobility is required.
Swivel Brackets: Swivel brackets enable the castor wheel to rotate 360 degrees, allowing movement in any direction. For added control, swivel castors can be equipped with various brake options, including:
Wheel Lock: Locks the castor wheel in place.
Wheel Footbrake: A foot-operated brake that secures the wheel.
Swivel & Wheel Brake (Total Stop Brake): Locks both the wheel and the swivel head, ensuring complete immobility.

This Twin wheel ... Read More125mm Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Castor has a bracket made from strong Forged steel that is zinc plated. There is a hardened Taper Roller Bearing in he swivel head, which has a grease nipple, for smooth swivelling action and durability. The Top Plate is 145mm x 145mm and has 4 bolt holes that are spaced 120mm x 120mm, each with a 11mm hole diameter.The castor is able to tilt +/- 5o from its central axis according to the flatness of the floor. This ensures that this castor's wheels keep contact with the floor allowing smooth AGV movement and protection of the loaded cargo when changing directions (See illustration below)The wheels are more widely separated from each other than most Twin Wheel Castors. When changing direction, the two wheels spin in opposite directions to each other which reduces the castor offset. The smaller the offset the less chance that the AGV will deviate from its designated line.This castor frame has two wheels with a Polyurethane tyre (Shore A 95) on an Aluminium centre each containing ball bearings, The polyurethane wheel has excellent elasticity the minimises slipping that can happen when an AGV starts or stops. In addition, the elasticity also absorbs small shocks arising from small imperfections in the floor. The wheel itself is non marking and will not damage the floor.

The nylon material is extremely resistant to salts, greases, acids and alkalis and will not mark or damage concrete floors. This makes Nylon probably the most popular castor wheel material.The roller bearing in the hub (central part of the wheel) consists of steel rollers within an impact resistant plastic cage. These rollers rotate between the axle tube and the wheel hub which reduces the rolling resistance making it easy to move even under heavy loads. Roller bearings are rugged, robust and largely maintenance-free.
