75mm polyurethane wheels swivel 360 degrees on internal bearings for smooth movement. Two castors have total-lock brakes that secure both wheel and swivel, pack includes four castors and fixing screws.
Smooth, quiet gliding – with polyurethane (PU) wheels and internal bearings
Polyurethane combines rubber-like elasticity with metal-level toughness, while internal bearings reduce rolling resistance and prevent hair or grit from jamming the axle. The sleek wheel surface sheds debris to keep movement consistent.
Effortless, near-silent movement around the home and workshop, so furniture can be repositioned without scraping or frequent cleaning. Heavy items roll more smoothly, reducing strain during manoeuvres.
Secure parking and stability – thanks to total-lock brakes that lock wheel and swivel
The total locking brake mechanism simultaneously immobilises the wheel and the swivel plate, preventing both rotation and steering movement. Two of the four castors include this brake arrangement.
Once parked, furniture and trolleys stay exactly where placed, eliminating accidental drift on inclined or uneven floors. The brake design is suitable for stabilising heavy pots, storage boxes or workbenches.
Floor protection and non-marking performance – with soft PU wheel surface
Soft polyurethane wheel material is specified as safe for all floor types and engineered to be non-marking. The material reduces the risk of scratches compared with harder metal or plastic wheels.
Valuable flooring such as wood, laminate or tiles remains protected during regular use, preventing unsightly marks and reducing the need for floor repairs. Ideal for households concerned about preserving surfaces.
