Ergonomic PU swivel castor with brake 160 mm - reinforced - ball bearing - 500 kg
Ergonomically and efficiently designed
This wheel has been specially designed to reduce friction with the surface by 30% compared to traditional polyurethane or rubber types. Thanks to its ergonomic properties, this wheel makes moving heavy loads easier and more efficient.
- Elastic polyurethane: The material bends during movement, which ensures energy return and a longer rolling duration.
- Cushioned tread: The limited contact with the surface reduces the force needed to roll or pivot.

Forward brake
The yellow galvanized brake is strategically placed on the opposite side of the swivel fork, unlike traditional casters. When moving forward, the brake moves forward with it, so there is no protruding brake on the pushing side of the transport cart. This prevents collisions with the tibia and increases safety. The brake is fully adjustable and blocks both the wheel and the fork at the same time, without any play.
Optional directional lock
The castors with a forward brake can be expanded with a directional lock. This optional accessory makes it possible to block the swivel function and allow the wheel to move in a fixed direction, similar to a fixed caster. The directional lock is mounted under the top plate and is easily operated with the foot. As soon as the lock is engaged and the cart starts moving, the swivel wheel automatically changes into a fixed wheel, regardless of the starting position of the swivel fork. This ensures stable and controlled movement.
