heavy duty locking castors
Heavy duty locking castors represent a crucial component in material handling and equipment mobility, engineered to support substantial weights while providing controlled movement and secure positioning. These robust wheel systems combine high-grade materials with precision engineering to deliver reliable performance in demanding environments. The castors feature a dual-locking mechanism that simultaneously secures both the wheel rotation and swivel function, ensuring complete stability when engaged. Typically constructed with heavy-gauge steel or stainless steel brackets, these castors incorporate precision ball bearings and high-quality polyurethane or rubber wheels that offer excellent floor protection and noise reduction. The locking mechanism is designed for easy operation, usually activated by a simple foot-lever system that can be engaged or released quickly. With load capacities ranging from 200 to 2000 kg per castor, these units are suitable for various industrial applications, from heavy machinery movement to medical equipment positioning. The integration of sealed precision bearings ensures smooth operation and minimal maintenance requirements, while the protective coating provides resistance against corrosion and harsh environmental conditions.
