Top Plate Fitting  |  Plain Bearing  |  UK Stock  |  Three Size Options


These pressed steel fixed castors are designed to provide reliable, straight-line movement for a wide range of light-duty indoor applications. Each castor features a moulded black polypropylene wheel mounted within a robust pressed steel bracket, secured to equipment via a four-hole top plate — one of the most common and versatile fixing methods in commercial and domestic settings.

Available in three wheel diameters — 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm — these fixed castors are suited to furniture, storage units, trolleys, display equipment, and general-purpose handling tasks where directional stability is required. The plain bearing construction keeps the design simple, cost-effective, and easy to maintain, making these castors an ideal choice for environments where budget efficiency and dependable performance are equally important.

* Load ratings are per individual castor. To calculate the required load capacity per castor, divide the total equipment weight (including contents) by the number of castors fitted — typically four. Always apply an appropriate safety margin to account for dynamic loads, uneven weight distribution, and floor surface conditions.

About This 50mm

The 50mm fixed castor is the most compact option in this range, making it well suited to smaller items of furniture and lightweight equipment where ground clearance is limited and a low overall height is desirable. With a total castor height of just 72mm and a load capacity of 65kg per unit, it delivers dependable straight-line movement without adding unnecessary bulk. The four-hole top plate measures 60mm x 67mm with dual hole centre options of 48mm and 38mm, providing compatibility with a wide variety of standard furniture frames and equipment bases. The 22mm tread width ensures adequate floor contact for stable rolling across smooth indoor surfaces.

Applications
  • Office desks, workstations, and pedestal units requiring low-profile mobility
  • Domestic furniture including shelving, storage cabinets, and bedside units
  • Retail display stands and point-of-sale fixtures in shop environments
  • Light equipment trolleys and service carts used in hospitality and catering settings
  • DIY workshop projects and home storage solutions requiring a compact fixed castor
  • Educational furniture in classrooms and libraries where quiet, smooth rolling is needed

About This 75mm

The 75mm fixed castor represents the mid-range option in this selection, offering a practical balance between manoeuvrability and load-bearing capability. At a total height of 100mm and a load rating of 75kg per castor — supporting up to 225kg across a set of four — it is well positioned for general commercial use where equipment is moved regularly but directional control is more important than full swivel capability. The shared top plate dimensions (60mm x 67mm, 6mm hole diameter, dual hole centres of 48mm and 38mm) ensure straightforward installation on standard equipment frames, and the 22mm tread width provides even weight distribution across smooth and semi-smooth floor surfaces.

Applications
  • Workshop tool cabinets, benches, and mobile storage units requiring directional stability
  • Warehouse shelving, picking trolleys, and goods transport equipment
  • Commercial kitchen equipment and catering trolleys on smooth floor surfaces
  • Retail gondola shelving and display fixtures in supermarket and shop environments
  • Office furniture including filing cabinets, printer stands, and mobile pedestals
  • Healthcare and institutional trolleys in clinics, schools, and care facilities

About This 100mm

The 100mm fixed castor is the largest and highest-capacity option in this range, designed for applications where greater ground clearance, improved rollability over minor floor irregularities, and a higher load rating are required. With a total height of 122mm and a per-castor load capacity of 85kg — equating to 255kg across a standard set of four — this option is suited to heavier equipment and more demanding handling environments. The larger wheel diameter also reduces rolling resistance compared to smaller sizes, making it easier to push loaded equipment across longer distances. The top plate dimensions remain consistent with the other sizes in this range (60mm x 67mm, 6mm hole diameter, 48mm and 38mm hole centres), ensuring compatibility with the same range of equipment frames.

Applications
  • Industrial carts, platform trolleys, and goods transport equipment in warehouse environments
  • Heavy-duty storage racking and mobile shelving units in distribution and logistics settings
  • Institutional laundry trolleys, linen carts, and equipment in healthcare facilities
  • Workshop machinery bases and mobile workbenches requiring a stable fixed castor
  • Hospitality and events equipment including bar trolleys, staging units, and service carts
  • Retail stockroom and back-of-house equipment where higher load capacity is needed
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fixed castor and a swivel castor, and which do I need?
A fixed castor has a static bracket that allows the wheel to roll in one direction only — forwards and backwards — providing straight-line movement and directional stability. A swivel castor has a rotating head that allows the wheel to turn in any direction, making it easier to steer and manoeuvre equipment around corners. In most practical applications, equipment is fitted with a combination of both: fixed castors at the rear to maintain a straight rolling path, and swivel castors at the front to allow steering. If your equipment will only ever need to move in a straight line, or if you are replacing existing fixed castors, these fixed top plate castors are the correct choice.
How do I calculate the correct load capacity for my application?
To determine the minimum load capacity required per castor, divide the total weight of your equipment — including its maximum intended contents — by the number of castors being fitted. For example, if your trolley and its load weigh 200kg and you are fitting four castors, each castor must support a minimum of 50kg. It is strongly recommended to apply a safety margin of at least 25–30% above this calculated figure to account for dynamic loads, uneven weight distribution, and variations in floor surface. Based on this guidance, the 50mm option (65kg per castor) is suitable for lighter furniture and equipment, the 75mm option (75kg per castor) covers general commercial use, and the 100mm option (85kg per castor) is appropriate for heavier or more demanding applications.
How do I fit a top plate castor, and what fixings are required?
Top plate castors are fixed directly to the underside of equipment using bolts or screws passed through the four holes in the mounting plate. The plate on all three options in this range measures 60mm x 67mm, with hole centres of 48mm (length) and 38mm (width) — or 38mm on both axes for the inner hole pattern — and a hole diameter of 6mm. This means you will need M6 bolts or equivalent fixings of an appropriate length for your equipment's base material. Before ordering, check that the hole pattern on your equipment matches these dimensions. If your equipment has a different hole pattern, a swivel or fixed castor with a stem fitting may be more appropriate.
Are these castors suitable for use on hard floors, and will they cause surface damage?
These castors are fitted with a moulded polypropylene wheel, which is a hard plastic material. They are designed for use on smooth, hard indoor floor surfaces such as concrete, tile, vinyl, and sealed timber. Because polypropylene is a rigid material, these castors are not recommended for use on delicate or sensitive floor surfaces such as unprotected hardwood, luxury vinyl tile, or polished stone, where a softer rubber or polyurethane wheel would be more appropriate to prevent marking or surface damage. On suitable hard floors, the 22mm tread width distributes the load effectively and the wheels roll quietly and smoothly under normal operating conditions.
* All load ratings stated are per individual castor and apply under normal static indoor conditions on smooth, level floor surfaces. Dynamic loads, floor irregularities, and uneven weight distribution will reduce effective load capacity. Always ensure the selected castor is rated above the calculated per-unit load requirement, with an appropriate safety margin applied. These castors are intended for indoor use on smooth, hard floor surfaces only.
