Description
50mm Pressed Steel Swivel Castor Wheel with Brake — White Nylon & 4-Hole Top Plate — 50kg Load Capacity
A precision-engineered swivel castor designed for controlled mobility across a wide range of light to medium-duty applications. Fitted with a white nylon wheel and a zinc-plated pressed steel top plate, this castor delivers smooth, quiet rolling on hard and semi-smooth surfaces — with an integrated brake mechanism that locks the wheel firmly in position whenever stationary stability is required. Suitable for furniture, trolleys, display units, workshop equipment, and general-purpose industrial use.
Key Features
- 50kg Load Capacity — Engineered to support moderate loads reliably across everyday commercial and light industrial environments.
- Swivel Action — Full 360-degree rotation enables effortless directional changes, even in confined or congested spaces.
- Integrated Brake Mechanism — Side-operated brake locks the wheel securely in place, preventing unintended movement when the castor is stationary.
- White Nylon Wheel — Hard-wearing nylon construction offers excellent resistance to wear and performs quietly on smooth, hard floor surfaces.
- Pressed Steel Top Plate — Zinc-plated for corrosion resistance; the 4-bolt-hole configuration ensures a secure, stable fixing to most standard furniture and equipment frames.
- Compact 50mm Wheel Diameter — Low-profile design suited to applications where ground clearance is limited or a discreet finish is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces is this castor suitable for?
The white nylon wheel is best suited to smooth, hard floor surfaces including ceramic tile, polished concrete, laminate, and vinyl. It is not recommended for use on soft, uneven, or heavily textured surfaces, as nylon wheels perform optimally on firm, flat ground.
How does the brake mechanism work?
This castor features a side-operated foot brake. Pressing the brake lever down locks the wheel in place, preventing rotation and swivel movement. To release, simply lift the lever. The brake is designed for use when the equipment needs to remain stationary — it is not intended as a load-bearing safety device under dynamic conditions.
How is the castor fixed to furniture or equipment?
The castor is mounted via a 60 x 60mm pressed steel top plate with four bolt holes positioned at 30 x 30mm centres. Standard M8 bolts (not included) are used to secure the plate directly to the underside of the furniture or equipment frame. This bolt-on fixing method provides a strong, stable connection suitable for regular use.
Can this castor be used outdoors?
While the zinc-plated top plate offers a degree of corrosion resistance, this castor is primarily designed for indoor use on smooth surfaces. Prolonged outdoor exposure to moisture, grit, or uneven terrain may affect performance and longevity. For outdoor or wet-environment applications, a castor with a stainless steel or fully sealed construction would be more appropriate.
