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 bracket houses a Polyurethane tyre wheel with an Aluminium Centre and precision ball bearings, The polyurethane tyre has a shore hardness of A90 and the Load Capacity of the castor is 100kg.
The Overall height without a load is 171mm and this reduces incrementally by up to 20mm as load increases (see image 2 - GDS100 Curve). It is fully compressed with a load of 75kg.
This is the only shock absorbing castor available with a total stop brake. The patented braking system over comes the issue of locking a swivel head that can move up and down providing customers with a castor that when braked, will stop any movement in the swivel head.
This Twin wheel ... Read MoreAutomated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Castor with 125m diameter wheels has a shock absorbing function and a bracket made from strong Forged steel that is zinc plated. There is double thrust bearing in the swivel head to achieve a high load capacity and maintain castor performance and durability.The role of the spring in an AGV castor is different to that of a standard shock absorbing castor. In a standard shock absorbing castor, the spring absorbs shock and noise whereas, it's role in a AGV castor is primarily to keep the wheels in contact with the floor.When determining the overall height requirement of a shock absorbing AVG, it should be designed based on the spring cushion being fully compressed.The shock absorbing pad made from a special rubber compound absorbs minor shocks and vibrations to protect the AGV unit. There is a 10mm range of compression which helps prevent the castors from losing contact with the floor which may be caused by small floor imperfections. An AGV's castor leaving the floor when changing directions is often the cause of the AGV becoming unbalanced and coming to a stop by straying off its designated path.The Top Plate is 145mm x 145mm and has 4 bolt holes that are spaced 120mm x 120mm, each with a 11mm hole diameterThis castor frame has two wheels with a Polyurethane tyre (Shore A 95) on an Aluminium centre each containing ball bearings, Having a twin wheel castor is great for reducing the effort required to swivel the castor and most efficient by reducing the amount of room the castor needs to turn the AGV Cart.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.

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.

With 114.3mm x 63.5mm bolt hole centres on a side mounting plate, this castor ensures secure installation on various platforms and machinery. The cast iron wheel centre has a durable Flexello Superthane red polyurethane tyre and equipped with a roller bearing for smooth and efficient movement, even under heavy loads.This jacking castor is perfect for applications that require easy mobility and vertical adjustment, such as working platforms, machinery, and other industrial equipment. With a load capacity of 725kg, it ensures safe and stable lifting and movement. Most applications use 4 jacking castors, providing a combined maximum load capacity of 1,450kg.Key Features:
150mm Genuine Flexello jacking castor with 76mm lift for heavy-duty vertical adjustments
Cast iron wheel centre with Flexello Superthane red polyurethane tyre for long-lasting performance
Roller bearing for smooth movement and reduced friction
114.3mm x 63.5mm bolt hole centres on a side mounting plate for secure attachment
Load capacity: 725kg (1,450kg when using 4 jacking castors)
Jacking castors are essential for precise equipment positioning, enabling users to safely raise and lower heavy platforms for easy movement and installation. Ensure you calculate the required load capacity by dividing the total weight by 2, as each castor supports half the weight during operation.

The load capacity is 1020kg.The 150mm solid cast iron wheel is fitted with a Roller Bearing and has a 45mm Tread Width.It is important to note that the minimum Jacking Castor load capacity is obtained by calculating the total weight to be carried (unladen unit weight + maximum load) and dividing that by 2. This is because the operation of Jacking Castors means that each castor can be subjected to half the total weight.Most applications require 4 Jacking Castors and in this situation, the recommended total maximum load that can be carried by 4 Jacking Castors is 2,040kg.
