Quiet, floor-friendly movement – with polyurethane (PU) wheels
Polyurethane blends rubber-like elasticity with high wear resistance, so wheels absorb small shocks while resisting flat spots. The 100mm diameter helps roll smoothly over thresholds and small obstacles.
Furniture glides silently across wood, laminate and tile without leaving marks. Ideal for living rooms and workshops where quieter repositioning matters.
Secure parking – thanks to dual locking brakes on two castors
Brakes lock both the fixing plate and the wheel simultaneously, preventing rotation and swivel movement when engaged. Two castors in the set have locking mechanisms while two remain free-rolling.
Trolleys and storage stay firmly in place during use or storage, reducing accidental movement. Particularly useful for workbenches and mobile storage that need stability.
Quick DIY fit-out – with included bolts and nuts for every wheel
The pack supplies 16 bolts and nuts sized 30mm x 8mm, matched to the fixing plates for straightforward attachment. Standard plate mounting simplifies alignment and installation.
No extra hardware is required for most installations, saving time and trips to the shop. A practical choice for homeowners and hobbyists fitting furniture or trolleys.
