Castor Wheel Types Available in Kampala
Swivel Castors
Swivel castors rotate through 360 degrees, allowing equipment to change direction easily. They are particularly useful where operators need to manoeuvre trolleys or mobile equipment through restricted spaces, corridors and busy working environments.
Common uses: Shopping carts, hospital equipment, office furniture, warehouse trolleys and platform trucks
Fixed (Rigid) Castors
Fixed castors are designed primarily for straight-line movement. Their rigid mounting provides directional stability and makes them suitable for equipment that is regularly moved backwards and forwards rather than in multiple directions.
Common uses: Industrial carts, warehouse equipment, platform trucks and material handling systems
Braked Castors
Braked castors incorporate a locking mechanism that helps prevent unwanted wheel movement when equipment is parked. Depending on the model, the braking system may lock the wheel or both the wheel and swivel mechanism.
Common uses: Hospital beds, workstations, tool trolleys, catering equipment and mobile machinery
Directional Lock Castors
Directional locking systems allow mobile equipment to be controlled more effectively where both manoeuvrability and straight-line travel are required. They can provide greater stability when positioning heavy or sensitive equipment.
Common uses: Heavy equipment, industrial carts and precision positioning applications
Kingpinless Castors
Kingpinless castors use a robust swivel design intended for demanding environments. With fewer conventional swivel components, they are well suited to applications involving frequent movement, impact and heavier operating conditions.
Common uses: Industrial facilities, manufacturing environments and heavy material handling
Choosing the Right Castor Wheel Material
The best wheel material depends on the floor surface, operating environment, load and frequency of movement.
Castor Wheel Load Capacity
Correct load selection is important for safe movement, wheel performance and service life.

How to Select Castor Wheels for Your Application
Calculate Your Working Load
Start with the combined weight of the equipment and the maximum load that it is expected to carry.
For four-wheel equipment, allow additional capacity for uneven loading or situations where all four wheels are not carrying equal weight.
Select the Castor Configuration
Swivel Castors: Best where frequent turning and manoeuvring are required
Fixed Castors: Useful where equipment mainly travels in a straight direction
Braked Castors: Recommended where equipment must remain securely stationary
Match the Wheel to the Environment
Smooth indoor surfaces: Rubber or polyurethane can provide smoother movement
Industrial environments: Nylon, polyurethane or other hard-wearing materials may be appropriate
High-temperature environments: Select purpose-built heat-resistant wheel materials
Choose an Appropriate Wheel Diameter
Larger wheels generally roll more easily over floor joints, small obstacles and uneven surfaces. Standard castor wheel sizes vary depending on the required load and application.
Mounting height, floor conditions, manoeuvring space and available swivel radius should also be considered.
