Wheels & Castors

Replacement castor wheels for furniture, workbenches, trolleys and carts: 4 inch and 3 inch castors in fixed and lockable swivel versions, a pack of 4 with a 520kg total load rating, and Cefito castors for a kitchen bench. Fixed castors roll in a straight line and swivel castors turn to steer, so fitting fixed castors at one end of a cart and swivel castors at the other keeps it easy to steer while it still tracks straight. For wheeled carts see utility trolleys, and for racks and cabinets see tool storage.

How to choose castor wheels

Load rating. The Shoppers Home polyurethane-wheel listings give a tire diameter of 4" (10cm) or 3" (7.5cm) and a plate size of 6.2cm x 9.3cm. The 4 inch fixed castor, the 4x pack and the zinc plated fixed castor each list 130kg per castor, and the 4x pack lists 520kg in total; the single 4 inch swivel castor with brake and the 3 inch castor list no load rating. The Cefito listing says the set bears up to 200kg, and its specification gives 50kg per castor.

Fixed or swivel with a brake. The swivel castors with brakes lock to hold a bench or cart still once it is in place. The 4x pack holds 2 fixed and 2 swivel castors with brakes, so one pack is a full set for a four-wheeled cart.

Kitchen benches. The Cefito 4" swivel castor wheels are sold as a set of 4, with rubber wheels and a side lock brake on 2 of the wheels. The title says stainless steel and the specification lists a steel frame. The listing says they suit bench legs with a 35-45mm inner diameter.
