80mm Pressed Steel Swivel Castor with Red Polyamide Wheel

Premium industrial mobility solution for medium-duty applications

Product Overview

This 80mm pressed steel swivel castor combines precision engineering with durable construction to deliver smooth, reliable mobility for trolleys, carts, and handling equipment. Designed for environments where manoeuvrability and load capacity are essential, this castor features a red polyamide wheel mounted on a robust pressed steel housing with ball journal bearing for effortless directional control.

Ideal for retail displays, workshop equipment, mobile storage units, and industrial transport systems, this castor provides consistent performance across smooth indoor surfaces. The 4-hole top plate fixing ensures secure installation, while the compact 106mm total height maintains a low profile for your equipment.

Key Features & Benefits

Swivel Design for Superior Manoeuvrability

360-degree rotation enables smooth directional changes and precise positioning, reducing effort when navigating tight spaces or repositioning equipment.

90kg Load Capacity per Castor

Engineered to support medium-duty applications with confidence. When used in a set of four, total load capacity reaches 270kg, suitable for fully loaded trolleys and mobile equipment.

Red Polyamide Wheel Construction

Polyurethane on nylon wheel delivers exceptional durability with low rolling resistance. The 85 Shore A tread hardness provides floor protection while maintaining excellent load-bearing performance.

Ball Journal Bearing System

Precision ball journal bearing ensures smooth, consistent rotation under load, reducing rolling resistance and extending service life in demanding environments.

Pressed Steel Construction

Robust pressed steel housing with zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance and structural integrity for long-term reliability in commercial and industrial settings.

4-Hole Top Plate Fixing

100mm × 85mm top plate with 10mm diameter holes at 60/80mm centres ensures secure, straightforward installation on standard equipment frames and bases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum weight this castor can support?

Each castor has a load capacity of 90kg. When using four castors together on a single piece of equipment, the combined maximum load capacity is 270kg. Always distribute weight evenly across all castors for optimal performance and safety.

What type of flooring is this castor suitable for?

The red polyamide wheel with 85 Shore A hardness is designed for smooth indoor surfaces including concrete, tile, vinyl, and sealed wood floors. The polyurethane tread provides floor protection while maintaining low rolling resistance and quiet operation.

How do I install this castor?

The castor features a 4-hole top plate measuring 100mm × 85mm with 10mm diameter holes positioned at 60mm × 80mm centres. Simply align the plate with your equipment base, mark the hole positions, drill pilot holes if needed, and secure using appropriate bolts or screws (fixings not included).

What is the difference between swivel and fixed castors?

Swivel castors rotate 360 degrees, allowing easy directional changes and manoeuvrability. Fixed castors only roll in a straight line. For optimal control, many applications use a combination: swivel castors at one end for steering and fixed castors at the other for stability.

Will this castor work outdoors?

This castor is designed primarily for indoor use on smooth surfaces. While the zinc plated steel housing offers some corrosion resistance, prolonged outdoor exposure to moisture and rough terrain may reduce performance and service life. For outdoor applications, consider castors specifically rated for exterior use.

What does the 106mm total height include?

The 106mm total castor height is measured from the base of the wheel to the top surface of the mounting plate. This measurement helps you determine the final height of your equipment once the castors are installed.

Can I use this castor on uneven surfaces?

This castor performs best on smooth, level indoor surfaces. The 80mm wheel diameter and swivel design provide good manoeuvrability on flat floors, but may struggle on significantly uneven terrain, thresholds, or rough surfaces. For uneven conditions, larger diameter wheels are recommended.

What maintenance does this castor require?

Regular maintenance includes removing debris from the wheel and swivel mechanism, checking mounting bolts for tightness, and inspecting the wheel for wear or damage. Occasional lubrication of the ball journal bearing will help maintain smooth rotation and extend service life.
