Fixings and Fittings
Fixings and fittings for use with BIL castor wheels.
Same day dispatch & free delivery over £50 (postcode restrictions apply).
-
Axle Tubes (49)
A range of axle tubes in different dimensions, lengths and clearances. -
Bearings (15)
Ball and roller bearings to ensure smooth operation of your wheels and castors. Ball bearings are sealed to keep out dirt & keep in their lubrication. Roller bearings support heavier radial loads and need lubrication applied. Zinc plated or stainless steel. -
Bolts (4)
Metric bolts for fixing castor wheel top plates to boards etc. -
Buffer Wheels (2)
These buffer wheels can be fitted to protect surfaces from damage, cushion any impact plus the wheel's rotation minimises scuff marks. Often seen fitted to hospital beds, they can be used in many applications. -
Castor Expanders (33)
Castor expanders to attach your castor wheels to hollow metal tubing (either square or round cross-section). Often used in trolley and cart legs. You'll need the inside diameter (and shape) of the tubing to help you select the right expander fitting. -
Closed Wheel Retainers (10)
These closed/capped wheel retainers provide a push-fit solution for, unsurprisingly, retaining your wheels. Slide them onto the axle where they will lock into place. The integral cap provides the finishing touch for a smarter look. -
Floor Locks / Truck Locks (16)
Specially designed devices to hold trucks or trolleys in a fixed position during loading or unloading. They are designed to enable a quick and easy change between the locked and free movement modes. TRUCK LOCK / FLOOR LOCK MOUNTING The principle on which they work requires a constant gap between the unit and the floor, so it is best to mount the truck lock close to a castor, ensuring that it does not interfere with the free movement and operation of the castor. This is critical to correct operation - mounting pads, between the top plate and underside of the trolley, may be necessary to achieve this. A step down foot-operated pedal moves a skid resistant rubber pad into friction contact with the floor surface. This is done with a spring-loaded over-cam mechanism that does not lift the load and keeps the operating force low. It also means the load rating of the trolley is not relevant to the truck lock. A second step down pedal raises the footpad. The limited number of parts means there is less to maintain or go wrong. Where a trolley has four swivel castors, two truck locks are required - one to be fitted as each end, either on the same side or diagonally opposite. Only one truck is required at the swivel end of a trolley that has two swivel and two fixed castors. -
Nuts (2)
-
Pneumatic Tyres (8)
Small pneumatic tyres and tubes for wheelbarrows, sack trucks, sack barrows and more. Different treads & ply available. -
Spacers (36)
Wheel spacers. Fittings for your wheels and castor wheels. -
Stems (10)
-
Wheel Caps (2)
Push fit wheel caps to keep dirt out of the axle nuts & wheel bearings & ensure smooth operation. Available in different colours.
