WDS heavy duty castors offer superior performance and mobility

These castors are available in a choice of formats and with payload capacities from 300kg to 1500kg. All are robustly built so that they can withstand the duties they are to undertake, while delivering a long and reliable working life. The centre of each wheel is made of cast iron, ringed with a tyre of red polyurethane that will ensure quiet operation and no marking of or damage to flooring.

The largest castor in the range is a twin-wheeled, four bearing unit made to an off-centre swivel design so that the equipment they are supporting can be easily manoeuvred across the floor in all directions. This is available in two sizes, 1000kg payload and 1500kg payload. The frame of the castor is made of zinc-coated steel and the mounting plate has four bolt holes so that secure fixing to the underside of the equipment can be guaranteed.

Complementing these castors are three other designs, all with polyurethane-tyred cast iron wheels in steel frames. The single wheel swivel type is available in three load capacities 300kg, 320kg and 350kg. There is another similar swivel design that also incorporates a brake so that the equipment can be positioned and then securely parked.

The final part of the range is a fixed or non-swivelling castor, again available in 300kg, 320kg and 350kg sizes. These provide straight line movement capability, or, when paired with swivel mounted castors, allow steering of the equipment.

Like all WDS components, the heavy duty castors can be viewed on the company's website, www.wdsltd.co.uk, where there are also 2D drawings and 3D CAD models for download and easy access to on-line ordering for rapid deliver.
