Description
Swivel Castors with Brake & Thermoplastic Rubber Wheel
These zinc-plated swivel castors with a side-lever brake are precision-engineered mobility components designed for light-to-medium duty applications across retail, hospitality, office, and light industrial environments. Each castor features a grey thermoplastic rubber (TPR) tread bonded to a polypropylene centre, delivering smooth, quiet, and floor-friendly rolling performance on hard and semi-hard surfaces.
Available in four wheel diameters — 60mm, 80mm, 100mm, and 125mm — with load ratings from 40kg to 100kg per castor, this range offers a precisely matched solution for trolleys, display units, catering equipment, and light furniture. The zinc-plated steel top plate and swivel head provide corrosion resistance and long-term structural integrity in demanding day-to-day use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct wheel diameter for my application?
As a general rule, a larger wheel diameter rolls more easily over uneven surfaces and thresholds, and reduces the effort required to move a loaded trolley. For smooth hard floors with lighter loads, the 60mm or 80mm options are ideal. For heavier loads or environments with slight floor irregularities, the 100mm or 125mm variants are recommended. Always ensure the overall height of the castor is compatible with the clearance available on your equipment.
What is the total load capacity when using a set of four castors?
The load capacity stated is per individual castor. When fitting a set of four, the combined rated capacity is four times the per-castor figure — for example, four 100mm castors provide a combined rating of 320kg. In practice, it is advisable to apply a safety margin and not exceed 75–80% of the total rated capacity to account for dynamic loading, uneven weight distribution, and floor conditions.
Are these castors suitable for use on hard floors such as tiles, vinyl, or laminate?
Yes. The grey thermoplastic rubber (TPR) tread is specifically formulated to be non-marking on hard floor surfaces including ceramic tiles, vinyl, laminate, and sealed concrete. The TPR compound provides a degree of grip and cushioning that protects floor finishes while ensuring smooth, quiet rolling — making these castors well suited to retail, hospitality, and office environments where floor protection is a priority.
How does the brake mechanism work, and how is it engaged?
Each castor is fitted with a side-lever brake that locks both the wheel rotation and the swivel action simultaneously, preventing the castor from rolling or turning when stationary. The brake is engaged by pressing the lever downward with the foot and released by lifting it upward. This dual-lock mechanism is particularly important for trolleys and equipment that must remain stationary during loading, unloading, or use — such as catering trolleys, retail display units, and medical auxiliary furniture.
