How does the order process work?

Are you able to offer drawings or 3D models of your castors?

Once you have signed up for this facility you will be able to download step and dwg files. If you require the drawings in another format, then please contact us.

Does the amount of castors fitted affect the weight loading they can take?

Castor configurations will affect the load calculations as one or more castors may potentially lift from the floor on uneven surfaces, thus removing their share from the overall loading.  An allowance for this must be made, and so the castor load capacities along with uses and characteristics of each configuration can be found in our buying guide.
