Castors & Wheels

Pick the right castor or wheel for your trolley, workbench or storage rack. Consider wheel diameter, load capacity and floor type. Larger wheels roll easier over bumps. Use rubber for smooth floors and PU for rough concrete. A swivel castor with a brake keeps your cart locked. Combine fixed and swivel castors for straight tracking. Measure mounting height and check the axle size before you order.

How to choose the right wheels

Size and fitting

Measure the mounting height and axle size of your trolley or workbench first. The diameter determines how easily you roll over thresholds. Large wheels handle uneven surfaces better. Also check the wheel width. A wide wheel gives more stability, but may not fit the bracket.

Material and floor

Choose the material based on your floor. Rubber suits hard floors like concrete or tiles. It absorbs vibration and runs quietly. PU wheels roll more easily and wear less on rough concrete. Use them outdoors or in a warehouse. Note: rubber can leave marks on light floors.

Brakes and combination

A swivel castor with a brake locks your trolley firmly in place. That is useful for a workbench or a trolley that must stay put. Combine fixed wheels at the back and swivel castors at the front. This lets you roll straight and still steer. Choose double wheels to distribute the load better and reduce tipping.

Wheels and castors belong to setting up your workshop and your home. They come back in house and garden and in household and DIY, where you find the tools for your jobs. If you are assembling a trolley, you often need fittings and terminals to make it sturdy. Want to keep your tools within reach, then take a look at hooks and fastenings.
