Castor wheels enable the easy movement of an object and can be used across a wide range of Industrial, Manufacturing and Commercial sectors. Made up of a wheel, housing and either a mounting plate or a column/tube, castors can be used in both large and small scale applications from small carts or trolleys, up to large heavy machine bases within commercial production industries. You can find out more in our [guide to castor wheels](/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/castor-wheels-guide).

### 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.

Choosing the correct castor type either top plate, bolt hole or screw in castors/ threaded stem depends on how you want to fix your castor to your application and how much weight each castor is expected to carry.

There are 3 different castor wheel ratings depending upon the strength, durability and manoeuvrability 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.

### What are Castor Wheels made of?

Castors are available in different sizes and support different load capacities. The wheels are made from different materials such as iron, aluminium, steel, polypropylene, nylon and rubber and can be non-marking.

### How do I measure castor wheels?

The measurement of castors is really important. Measure the height and width of both the top plate and bolt hole pattern, measuring from the centre of one hole to the other. Measure the wheel size over the centre when the wheel is lying flat.

<p>Heavy duty castor wheels are an essential component in helping you move heavy loads within an industrial setting. These wheels are pivotal to handling the stress of the load, ensuring smooth and efficient operation when it comes to manoeuvring immense heavy loads with ease.</p><h2>What makes Heavy Duty Caster Wheels so Strong?</h2><p>Heavy duty caster wheels are typically made from steel, cast iron or high-quality synthetic compounds, ensuring the wheels are durable and can withstand the heavy loads without buckling. The wheel diameter is usually larger to evenly distribute the weight over a larger surface area. Wheel tread is essential so that is works with your specific application, whether that be indoor, or outdoor. The wheel bearings within the caster wheel reduce friction and enable smooth movement, even under heavy loads.</p><h2>Applications for Heavy Duty Caster Wheels?</h2><p>There are numerous applications where heavy-duty castor wheels can be used, from manufacturing facilities, warehouses, automotive industries, aerospace, hospitality, and food services to medical equipment.</p><h2>Types of Heavy Caster Wheels</h2><p>The type of wheel you choose will depend upon your application and requirements. Here are some common types:</p><ul><li><strong>Swivel Caster Wheels</strong> are specifically designed to rotate 360 degrees and are advantageous where precise steering and manoeuvring are required.</li><li><strong>Rigid Caster Wheels</strong> do not rotate. They are fixed to move in a straight line and offer stability to the user. </li><li><strong>Locking Caster Wheels</strong> are perfect for when no movement is required from your load, the mechanism locks the wheel in place and keep it stationary for periods of time.</li><li><strong>Shock Absorbing Caster Wheels</strong> feature a cushioning mechanism which is designed to minimise shocks and protects the load and the equipment when moving it around.</li><li><strong>Pneumatic Caster Wheels</strong> provide excellent shock absorption when moving heavy loads. Due to the air in the tyres, they are ideal for use outside or on rough surfaces.</li><li><strong>Steel Caster Wheels</strong> are the most durable, they are able to withstand extreme weights and can be found in heavy duty industrial applications. They are resistant to both impact and abrasion.</li><li><strong>Polyurethane Caster Wheels</strong> are renowned for being extremely durable. They are non-marking on floors making them an ideal choice for indoor use.</li></ul><h2>How Much Weight Can Castor Wheels Take?</h2><p>It is important to know the load weight you want to transport so you can choose the correct caster wheels.
