Light Duty Bolt Hole Castors
Light Duty Bolt Hole Castors offer a compact and flexible mounting option, distinct from top plate or threaded stem varieties.
These castors feature a bolt hole through which a bolt or screw secures the castor to equipment. This design allows for simple attachment and detachment, making them particularly useful for applications where mobility is frequently adjusted.
Commonly found on items like portable display units and lightweight trolleys, these castors provide manoeuvrability without adding significant bulk. Their smaller size is an asset in tight spaces.
Buyers need to consider the bolt size and type that best matches their equipment's mounting points. The choice of wheel material—often rubber or nylon—will also depend on the floor surface and desired rolling resistance.
Bolt hole castors attach via a single bolt or screw, offering a more streamlined fit compared to top plate castors, which require a larger mounting surface. This makes bolt hole castors preferable for equipment with limited mounting space.
For indoor applications, rubber wheels generally provide quieter operation and better grip on hard flooring. Nylon wheels are often chosen for their durability and lower rolling resistance, particularly on carpeted surfaces.
