If you’re looking for reliable industrial castors in the UK, our new collection ensures strength, stability, and smooth handling you can depend on.

Fun Facts About Industrial Castors

  1. They’ve been around for centuries: The first recorded use of castor wheels dates back to the 1870s, invented to make moving heavy furniture easier. Industrial castors later became essential for factories during the Industrial Revolution.
  2. They make work safer & faster: Studies show that using castors reduces workplace injuries by lowering the need for heavy lifting and manual handling.
  3. Load capacity is impressive: A single heavy-duty industrial castor can carry several hundred kilograms. Some extreme-duty models can support over 10 tonnes each!
  4. Castors reduce noise: Many industrial castors are designed with specialised wheels to cut down rolling noise, making factories and warehouses quieter places to work.
  5. They’re everywhere (but unnoticed): From hospital beds to aircraft hangars, supermarket trolleys to stage equipment, castors keep the world rolling — quite literally.
  6. Swivel innovation: The “swivel castor” design (where the wheel rotates 360°) was a game-changer, allowing smooth manoeuvring in tight spaces — perfect for workshops and warehouses.
