What are castor wheels?
Castor (caster) wheels make trolleys, racks and machines easy to move. Swivel castors turn 360 degrees for steering, fixed castors keep a straight line, and braked castors lock in place. Wheels with bearings roll more easily under load.
Load rating and wheel material decide where a castor works. Therefore, add up the load, divide by the number of wheels and allow a margin.
