Off Your Trolley!

Castors are commonly used on supermarket trolleys. They allow a trolley to move in a straight direction with he castor rotating backwards as the trolley follows a forward motion down the aisle. The castor rotates to provide a smooth turn. Castors generally operate most effectively on smooth and flat surfaces which is why they are suitable for our supermarket trolleys.

They can of course have a variety of other uses and therefore are designed in many different sizes and materials depending on their intended use.

Castors!

As you all know Castors are pivoting rollers that are attached to the bottom of objects to make them move easily.

Wheels & castors can be fitted to all types of machinery, equipment, furniture or transport so they are more portable.

This network I have found has a massive range of castors from different companies. One of the suppliers on the site Keystone Castors, have a massive range of products on offer from industrial to commercial.

If castors is your thing this site is well worth a look
