CASTOR WHEELS

Castor wheels are used worldwide for industrial, manufacturing, commercial and domestic use for the safe and efficient movement of goods.  At TEP Technica we stock an extensive range of industrial casters for a wide variety of applications.

With a commitment to quality, durability, and affordability, Technica provides customers with a cost-effective solution.

A castor (or caster) is an undriven wheel designed to enable an object to move and is attached to the bottom of an object via a stem or mounting plate.

Castors are mainly categorised in two types: Swivel and fixed. Swivel castors are ideally suited to the movement of heavy loads in material handing applications, theatre and stage settings, hospital beds, carts, dollies and trollies. These castor can swivel 360 degrees allowing flexible manoeuvrability.

Swivel castors or casters are generally fitted to the rear of the load and fixed castors to the front.

Fixed castors are designed to only move forward and backward, and are generally used when equipment doesn’t have to move as often or as far.

TYPES OF CASTOR WHEEL

Technica stock castor wheels for a variety of applications. With our wide range of options, you can shop with confidence, knowing that you will find the right castor to fit your requirements. 

Top plate castors:

Mounted plate castors offering a high degree of strength and stability due to load weight distribution. Plate castors are often used on machinery and dollies.

Single bolt (stem) castors:

Single bolt castors are commonly used in a variety of applications where mobility and manoeuvrability are important, such as on furniture, equipment, and carts. Single bolt castors are simple to install, as they only require a single attachment point.

Twin wheel castors:

Twin wheel castors are used in hotel housekeeping carts, luggage racks, and banquet tables to provide efficient movement and mobility.

Spring loaded castors:

Spring loaded fabricated steel castors are a type of castor that is designed to provide a smooth and stable ride.The spring loaded mechanism can improve the performance and safety of equipment and materials handling by providing shock absorption, noise reduction, stability, durability, and ease of manoeuvrability. 

Gate and scaffold castors:

Scaffold castors should be made from top-grade rubber or polyurethane, providing exceptional wear and tear resistance, as well as a quiet and smooth ride.

Tri castors:

Tri castors offer greater stability compared to traditional castors, making them ideal for use on uneven or rough surfaces. This is particularly important in the entertainment industry, where sets and equipment need to be moved around quickly and safely.

Erognomic castors:

Ergonomic castors are an innovative solution designed to improve workplace safety and efficiency. By reducing the amount of force required to move heavy loads, ergonomic castors can help prevent injuries and reduce worker fatigue. .

Anti-static castors:

Anti-static castors are designed to prevent the build-up of static electricity, which can damage sensitive electronic equipment and create safety hazards in areas where flammable materials are present.

Fixed castors:

Fixed castors provide a stable and secure base for equipment or machinery, allowing for easy movement and transportation of heavy loads.

High temperature castors:

High temperature castors are designed to withstand extreme heat and operate in environments where standard castors may fail.
