What are castors?

Castors, swivel or movable wheels are a specific type of wheel for industrial vehicles. They consist of a wheel and housing with a fastener. Unlike load wheels, castors rotate around their vertical axis, making it possible to manoeuvre around obstacles and manage bends.

Using castors

Castors are used to efficiently move heavy loads whilst keeping your device balanced. The castors in the JVD Parts range are designed for industrial applications and heavy loads, they are not the kind of wheels found on office chairs. Our castors will absorb shocks and vibration, perform extremely well under high pressure and leave no marks on the underlying surface. They are consequently ideal as an additional safety feature on equipment such as pallet jacks and stackers.

Selecting the right castor

Choosing the right castor will save you time and money. Moreover, you can be sure of the safe operation of your stacker or pallet jack. After all, castors provide the necessary support to keep these transport devices balanced. When buying castors, bear in mind the following aspects:

• Working environment: will you use the wheels indoors or outdoors, do they need to be resistant to grease and oil, or will they be used in clean environments such as in the food or chemical industries?
• Load bearing capacity: will your castors have to carry light loads or be used for heavy duty transport operations?
• Intensity of use: will the equipment you are ordering castors for be used continuously or only occasionally?
• Fixing method: will you attach the castor with a base plate, via a bolt hole or with a round or square pin attachment?
  

Castor materials

Depending on the answers to the above questions, enter your requirements in the filter menu on our webshop, e.g. specify the brand, dimensions and price of the castor you require. Various material options are available, each with their own specific properties:

• Polyurethane is the most popular choice for castors. It is resistant to chemicals, has a high load bearing capacity and is suitable for a variety of surfaces. Vulkollan is a patented type of harder and stronger polyurethane.
• Rubber is the best choice when used on uneven surfaces. Rubber wheels are quiet, manoeuvrable and relatively inexpensive.
