Description
50mm Pressed Steel Swivel Castor Wheel — White Nylon Wheel & 4-Hole Top Plate — 65kg Max Load
A compact, precision-engineered swivel castor designed for smooth, responsive movement across hard floor surfaces. Fitted with a white nylon wheel and a pressed steel 4-hole top plate, this castor is built for shop fitting, light industrial trolleys, display furniture, and mobile equipment where reliable manoeuvrability and a clean finish are equally important. Each unit supports up to 65kg, making it a dependable choice for a wide range of commercial and light-duty professional applications.
Key Performance Features
- 65kg Load Capacity per Castor — Engineered to handle demanding loads in everyday commercial environments without compromising mobility or structural integrity.
- Full 360° Swivel Action — The swivel head rotates freely through a full circle, enabling effortless directional changes and precise positioning in confined spaces.
- White Nylon Wheel — Hard-wearing nylon construction delivers low rolling resistance on smooth, hard floors including concrete, tile, and sealed timber. The white finish maintains a clean, professional appearance.
- Pressed Steel Top Plate — A robust zinc-plated pressed steel plate provides a secure, corrosion-resistant mounting base compatible with standard bolt patterns.
- 4-Hole Bolt Pattern — Four pre-drilled fixing holes ensure a stable, vibration-resistant installation on trolleys, carts, furniture bases, and display units.
- Plain Bearing — A maintenance-free plain bearing supports consistent rotation under load, reducing friction and extending service life in regular-use environments.
- Compact 50mm Wheel Diameter — The low-profile 50mm wheel keeps overall castor height minimal, ideal for applications where ground clearance is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum weight this castor can support?
Each individual castor is rated to a maximum load of 65kg. When fitting a set of four castors, the combined maximum load capacity is 195kg — this figure already incorporates a standard safety reduction factor to account for uneven load distribution during movement. Always ensure no single castor is subjected to more than its 65kg rated limit.
What floor types are these castors suitable for?
The white nylon wheel is optimised for smooth, hard floor surfaces including concrete, ceramic tile, sealed timber, vinyl, and epoxy-coated floors. Nylon wheels perform best on flat, debris-free surfaces and are not recommended for soft, uneven, or heavily textured flooring where a rubber or polyurethane wheel would be more appropriate.
How is the castor mounted, and what fixings are required?
This castor uses a 4-hole top plate measuring 60mm x 60mm, with hole centres of 48mm x 38mm. It is secured using four bolts (not supplied) through the pre-drilled fixing holes. The zinc-plated pressed steel plate is compatible with standard M6 or M8 bolts depending on your application. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and structurally sound before installation.
Does this castor include a brake or locking mechanism?
This model is a standard swivel castor without a brake or directional lock. It is designed for applications where continuous free movement is required. If a locking or braking function is needed — for example, to hold equipment stationary during use — a swivel castor with a side-lever brake would be the appropriate alternative. Please refer to our full castor range for braked options in compatible sizes.
