A castor is a wheeled
device typically
mounted to a larger
object that enables
relatively easy rolling
movement of the
object

OF
CASTORS

Strength Pressed Steel Castors
2.Medium Duty Pressed Steel Castors
3.Heavy Duty Pressed Steel Castors
4.Heavy Duty Forged Steel Castors
5.Heavy Duty Forged Steel Twin
Castors
6.Track Castors

8. 1.Light Duty/Light Duty Extra Strength
Pressed Steel Castors
Light duty castors are suitable for
hospital furniture, house hold furniture &
equipments , laboratory equipments ,
food serving trolleys in hotels & canteen
etc. where weight of material to be
carried is small. Light duty extra
strength castors are particularly suitable
where LD castors fails too frequently &
where loads are moderate. Both LD &
LD-X castors looks like same. Only
difference is LD-X castors are
manufactured from higher plate
thickness.
SRT, PU-PP, PP, UHMW wheels are
assembled in LD & LD-X castors

9. 2.Medium Duty Pressed
Steel Castors
Medium Duty castors are designed to carry
moderate loads i.e. more than LD or LD-X
castors, and are suitable for various types of
trolleys used in industries, warehouses, godowns,
stores, railway platform and so on. These castors
are also suitable for hospital furniture, laboratory
equipments or food serving trolleys where load
carrying capacity required is higher & the light
duty castors need frequent replacement.
SRT, BRT, PU-PP, PU-CI, PP, NYL, UHMW, FBR,
CI wheels can be used in medium duty castors.

10. 3.Heavy Duty Pressed Steel
Castors
Heavy Duty Pressed Steel Castors are
recommended where floor conditions
are not good & loads are moderate.
Load carrying capacity of Heavy Duty
Pressed Steel Castor is much more
than medium duty castors. These
castors can withstand occasional shock
loads & higher speeds. These castors
are highly suitable for trolleys &
equipments used in engineering
industries, automobile industries & so
on.
SRT, BRT, PU-PP, PU-CI, PP, NYL,
UHMW, CI wheels can be fitted in
Heavy Duty Pressed Steel castors.

11. 4.Heavy Duty Forged Steel Castors
Heavy Duty castors are recommended where
floor conditions are not good & MD castors
needs frequent replacement. These castors
can withstand occasional shock loads &
higher speeds. Heavy Duty swivel castors are
of two types. i.e. HD-F & HD-C. However,
important dimensions such as mounting
holes, overall height etc. are exactly same for
both types of castors. Therefore, matching
fixed castor [ FX(HD) ] is same for both types
of swivel castor. SRT, BRT, PU-PP, PU-CI,
PP, NYL, UHMW, FBR, CI wheels can be
used in heavy duty castors.

12. 5.Heavy Duty Forged Steel Twin
Castors
Twin castors have the advantages of
greater load carrying capacity for the same
castor height. The load is distributed over
a wide floor area. But because of the
differential movement of two wheels, the
scrubbing action that arises on turning
from the use of wide tread single wheel is
avoided. The use of twin castor is,
therefore, advantageous than use of single
wheel castor with wider tread width of the
wheel. Attachments such as wheel lock,
wheel brake & swivel lock can be provided
on these castors.
SRT, BRT, PU-PP, PU-CI, PP, NYL,
UHMW, FBR, CI wheels can be used in
heavy duty twin castors.

13. 6.Track Castors
The track castors are designed to
use over inverted angle iron tracks
or over square section or over rails.
Cast iron wheels with either V-
groove or square groove or a
flange are available depending
upon the track over which the
castors have to move. Since the
wheel rolls on steel track, the
pushing or puling force required is
much less. This reduces labour
fatigue. Floor surface also does not
get damage at any time. The track
wheels can be fitted in fixed &
swivel brackets of MD or HD series

14. Tips on Choosing and Using
Castors
Casters fall into two categories: furniture and shop equipment
casters.
 Plastic furniture casters have two wheels and move well on
carpet. They are light-duty casters and cannot carry a great deal
of weight. They are long-duration tools.
 Hard rubber wheel casters swivel in all directions for increased
mobility. They are more durable than plastic wheels. They are
plate-mounted with screws going right into the board.
 Use casters with stems for furniture with legs. They are mounted
with sleeves that are inserted into the legs of the piece of
furniture.
 When you do not want casters to show, attach a skirt to the
plywood base on which the casters are mounted.

15.  Most shop equipment casters are plate-mounted. Light-duty,
inexpensive plastic shop casters that do not swivel are hard to
manoeuvre around corners. They do not roll over electrical cords. It
is possible to purchase swivelling shop casters -- but that type still
won't roll over electrical cords.
 Heavy-duty steel wheel casters can carry a large load, despite the
small size. When they are loaded down, they are difficult to get over
obstacles, like power cords.
 Durable, hard rubber shop casters have locks with teeth on them to
keep the wheels from rolling when you want them to remain
stationary. These wheels have no problem going over electrical
cords when loaded down.
 Use large casters if you have to drive over cables. Four swiveling
wheels provide the most maneuverability. If you have two swivel and
two fixed wheels, you will still have problems moving the casters in
some directions. Use casters with locking wheels to keep the unit
from rolling.

16. Here are some different kinds of
Castors
 Stem Casters are an assembly with a wheel (or several) wheels mounted onto a
fork, with a stem for attaching it to the bottom of an object. The stem is what sets it
apart from other casters. They are used to provide mobility to an otherwise
stationary item and are typically made with polyurethane, soft rubber caster wheels
which will not scratch or mark up floors.
 Plate Casters contain a wheel or compound wheel with a plate on top for simple
mounting. These kinds of casters have the ability to carry more weight than stem
mount casters. As a result, plate casters can be used to turn an otherwise
stationary object into a vehicle, primarily for material handling applications.
 Levelling Casters are designed for easy moving and level setting machines. They
can be used for various applications such as chairs, shop vacuums and service
carts and can be switched back from mobile to stationary nearly instantly.
 Pneumatic and Solid Rubber Casters are made up of materials that allow for low-
speed movability for fragile and delicate cargo. They are designed to provide a
cushioned, shock-absorbed, quiet ride. Casters with pneumatic wheels are usually
the best choice for use outdoors over rough surfaces like gravel and grass.
 Side Mount Casters have a vertical mounting plate that attaches to either the side
or corner of equipment, furniture, equipment, gates and many other types of items
to make mounting both easy and mobile.

17. Conclusion
The primary benefit of caster wheels entails the ease of moving
machinery and furniture. If you intend to purchase some caster wheels for
your office or home you need to consider the following points:
• Wheel Diameter
• Swivel Radius
• Dynamic Load & Load Capacity
• Roll ability
• Brakes
• Mounting Considerations
