This means the castor can still pivot and align with the direction of travel, but the equipment will not roll away unintentionally. A total lock brake immobilises both the wheel and the swivel head completely, preventing all movement. For applications where you need to hold position without fully fixing the equipment in place, a directional brake is the preferred choice.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-q\"\u003eIs this castor suitable for use on hard floors such as concrete or vinyl?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-a\"\u003eYes. The blue rubber tread at 75 Shore A hardness is well suited to smooth hard floors including concrete, vinyl, ceramic tile, and epoxy-coated surfaces. The rubber compound provides adequate grip and floor protection without marking or scuffing. It is not recommended for heavily uneven or outdoor terrain where a harder, larger-diameter wheel would be more appropriate.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-q\"\u003eHow do I know if this top plate will fit my existing equipment?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-a\"\u003eThe top plate measures 100mm (length) x 85mm (width) with a 4-bolt-hole pattern. The hole centres span 60mm or 80mm in width, and each hole has a 10mm diameter. Before ordering, measure the existing castor plate or the mounting points on your equipment and compare against these dimensions. This is a widely used standard plate size compatible with most commercial trolleys, carts, and shelving frames.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-q\"\u003eWhat is the maximum load if I fit four of these castors to one piece of equipment?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-a\"\u003eEach castor is individually rated to 120kg. However, the combined set-of-4 rating is 360kg rather than 480kg. This accounts for real-world conditions where weight distribution across four castors is rarely perfectly equal — uneven floors, dynamic loading, and off-centre loads mean one or two castors may bear a disproportionate share of the total weight. Always work within the 360kg set rating to maintain a safe operating margin.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cs-note\"\u003eSold individually.
