Lockable Castors

Lockable castors are wheels with built-in brakes that keep equipment stationary. They prevent unwanted movement and are essential for safety in industrial carts, workbenches, furniture, and trolleys. These castors come in various sizes, materials, load capacities, and locking types to fit different needs.

Types and Features of Lockable Castors

Lockable castors have different locking mechanisms for specific uses:

• Swivel Lock Castors: Rotate 360 degrees when unlocked; lock both wheel and swivel to fix equipment in place.
• Wheel Brake Castors: Lock the wheel to stop rolling but allow swivel movement for directional flexibility.
• Directional Lock Castors: Lock the swivel to restrict movement to a straight line.

Wheel material affects durability and performance on various surfaces:

• Polyurethane: Smooth rolling, chemical resistant, durable; ideal for heavy loads on smooth floors.
• Rubber: Shock absorbing with good traction; best for uneven or outdoor surfaces.
• Nylon: Hard and wear-resistant; suitable for heavy-duty use on smooth floors with low rolling resistance.

Selecting Lockable Castors for Industrial and Commercial Use

Key factors when choosing lockable castors include load capacity, wheel diameter, mounting style, and operating surface. Larger wheels move easier over rough ground and carry heavier loads. The locking mechanism should be strong and easy to use to ensure safety.

Choose wheel material and size based on your floor type and load needs. Polyurethane wheels perform well on smooth floors and handle heavy loads with low resistance. Rubber wheels suit uneven or outdoor areas where grip and shock absorption matter.
