Pressed Steel Fixed Castors With White Nylon Wheel — 50mm & 75mm

Fixed Top Plate Castors  |  Plain Bearing  |  White Nylon Wheel  |  UK Stock


These pressed steel fixed castors are engineered for straight-line mobility across a wide range of light-duty and general-purpose applications. Fitted with a durable white nylon wheel and mounted via a four-hole top plate, they deliver consistent, low-maintenance rolling performance on smooth and semi-smooth floor surfaces. Available in two wheel diameters — 50mm and 75mm — each size is matched to a specific load rating, making it straightforward to select the right castor for your equipment.

Fixed castors do not swivel. They are designed to be used in combination with swivel castors — typically two fixed at the rear and two swivel at the front — to provide directional control and straight-line tracking on trolleys, stands, shelving units, and light industrial equipment. The plain bearing construction requires no lubrication and is well suited to environments where simplicity and reliability are priorities.

* 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.

Product Overview

The 50mm fixed castor is the compact choice within this range, offering a total installed height of just 72mm — ideal where low ground clearance is required. The white nylon wheel rolls quietly and cleanly on hard floor surfaces, making it a practical fit for environments where floor protection and hygiene are considerations. The pressed steel bracket provides a rigid, non-swivelling mount that keeps equipment tracking in a straight line during transit.

Applications
  • Light-duty trolleys and platform trucks in retail stockrooms and back-of-house areas
  • Domestic and commercial shelving units requiring fixed directional movement
  • Display stands and point-of-sale fixtures in retail environments
  • Catering and hospitality equipment such as service trolleys and mobile prep stations
  • Office storage units, filing cabinets, and mobile pedestals
  • Laundry and linen trolleys in hotels, care homes, and healthcare facilities
  • Lightweight workbenches and tool stands in workshops and educational settings

Product Overview

The 75mm fixed castor steps up in both wheel diameter and total height — reaching 100mm installed — making it the preferred choice where slightly greater ground clearance is needed or where the equipment being fitted is heavier and requires a more substantial rolling contact patch. The larger wheel diameter also improves rollability over minor floor imperfections, reducing the effort required to move loaded equipment. With a 75 kg per-castor rating and a combined set-of-four capacity of 225 kg, this size covers a broad range of general commercial and light industrial applications.

Applications
  • General-purpose warehouse trolleys, picking carts, and goods-movement equipment
  • Commercial catering trolleys, bain-marie stands, and mobile kitchen equipment
  • Retail gondola shelving, display units, and merchandising fixtures
  • Healthcare and care home equipment including medication trolleys and linen carts
  • Hospitality housekeeping trolleys and room service carts
  • Office furniture including mobile storage units, printer stands, and AV trolleys
  • Light industrial workstations, assembly benches, and component storage racks
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fixed castor and a swivel castor?
A fixed castor is mounted in a rigid bracket that does not rotate — the wheel can only roll forwards and backwards in a straight line. A swivel castor has a rotating head that allows the wheel to turn in any direction, enabling steering and manoeuvring. In most applications, fixed and swivel castors are used together: fixed castors are fitted at the rear of the equipment to maintain directional stability, while swivel castors at the front allow the unit to be steered. Using fixed castors alone will restrict movement to a single axis.
How do I choose between the 50mm and 75mm option?
The primary factors are load requirement and installed height. The 50mm castor has a total height of 72mm and a per-castor load rating of 65 kg (195 kg across a set of four), making it well suited to lighter equipment such as domestic shelving, retail display stands, and small service trolleys. The 75mm castor stands 100mm tall and carries 75 kg per castor (225 kg across a set of four), offering greater capacity and improved rollability for heavier or more frequently moved equipment. If your application sits close to the load limit of the 50mm option, the 75mm is the safer and more durable choice.
How are these castors fitted to equipment?
Both sizes use a four-hole top plate for attachment. The plate measures 60mm in length by 67mm in width, with fixing hole centres of 48mm and 38mm (dual-pitch) on both axes and a hole diameter of 6mm. This dual-pitch pattern provides compatibility with a wide range of standard equipment frames and tube sections. Castors are secured using M6 bolts (not supplied) through the four fixing holes directly into the base frame or a pre-drilled mounting plate on the equipment.
Are these castors suitable for use on hard floors?
Yes. The white nylon wheel is well suited to hard, smooth, and semi-smooth floor surfaces including concrete, tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed timber. Nylon is a hard-wearing material that resists deformation under load and performs reliably in dry indoor environments. It is not recommended for use on soft or uneven outdoor surfaces, as the hard wheel offers limited shock absorption. For applications requiring floor protection or quieter operation on hard floors, a softer tread material such as polyurethane may be more appropriate.
* Load ratings stated are per individual castor under controlled static conditions. Always divide total equipment weight (including maximum contents) by the number of castors and apply a suitable safety margin before selecting a castor size.
