Types of Castor Wheels
Castor Wheels can be in Swivel, Fixed or Braked configurations depending upon your requirements.

Swivel – Allows the wheels to track in any direction.

Fixed – Allows the object to move in a linear direction.

Braked – A small integral pedal secures the wheel in place. Understanding the weight you want your castors to support is vital to your choice of castor.

There are 3 different castor wheel ratings depending upon the strength, durability and maneuverability required for the load capacity. These are light duty supporting weights of up to 75kg, medium duty supporting weights of between 76 kg and 140 kg and heavy duty supporting weights of over 141 kg.
