Stainless steel fixed castors

Stainless steel fixed castors: strong, corrosion-resistant, and low maintenance

Stainless steel fixed castors are wheels with a fixed direction and a fork made of stainless steel. They're renowned for their durability and reliability. Since both the fork and the wheel are crafted from stainless steel, they resist moisture, cleaning agents, and heavy loads. While standard steel fixed castors may wear or rust more quickly, stainless steel fixed castors maintain top condition for years. They're an intelligent choice for the food industry, medical applications, and outdoor use. Within Logihub's assortment, you'll find stainless steel fixed castors with top plate fittings, complemented by other versions for specific needs.

Difference between a swivel castor and a fixed castor

An important distinction is that a fixed castor remains stationary and moves only forward or backward. This provides extra stability, essential for heavy loads or straight-line transport. A swivel castor rotates, making the object manoeuvrable—ideal for corners and narrow passages. In practice, combining both yields the best results: two fixed castors offer grip and direction, while two swivel castors add flexibility.

When stainless steel is the best choice

Stainless steel fixed castors are a smart choice for those seeking quality and reliability. They're easy to maintain, perform well under tough conditions, and offer assurance in various applications:

• Hygienic and Durable: Stainless steel fixed castors are resistant to corrosion and easy to clean. Ideal in environments where hygiene is a priority, such as hospitals, laboratories, and commercial kitchens.
• Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use: Thanks to their robust quality, they remain reliable even in contact with moisture, dirt, and cleaning agents. Even outdoors, where rain and dirt often damage standard steel wheels, stainless steel fixed castors continue to perform optimally.
• Long Lifespan and Lower Costs: Since they require less maintenance and need to be replaced less frequently, you save time and money. You can rely on wheels that keep your application running smoothly.

Stainless steel fixed castor sizes and load capacities

When choosing stainless steel fixed or swivel castors, size and load capacity are crucial. Our range varies from compact 80mm wheels for light workbenches to robust 125mm versions or larger, capable of carrying hundreds of kilos effortlessly. How do you determine the required load capacity? A practical rule: always calculate with three wheels instead of four, as in practice, one wheel often bears less load, such as when crossing a threshold. This ensures you have sufficient margin, keeping your cart stable. For instance, if your cart weighs 300kg, choose wheels that each can carry at least 100kg. With the right combination of fixed and swivel castors, you benefit from smooth movement, maximum safety, and longevity.

Mounting options for stainless steel fixed castors

The method of attachment significantly influences the stability of the wheel. The most popular variant is the top plate, secured with four bolts. This construction evenly distributes the load and remains reliable, even with intensive use. The top plate remains the most chosen solution. This way, you ensure the wheels are firmly attached and can handle the load.

Making the right combination

Many users combine stainless steel fixed castors with stainless steel swivel castors to maintain both stability and manoeuvrability. A practical setup is to place two fixed castors on one side and two swivel castors on the other. This keeps the object easily controllable in a straight line while remaining flexible enough to manoeuvre through narrow spaces. This is one reason why fixed castors are often purchased together with swivel castors. At Logihub, you'll find both categories clearly grouped together, allowing you to make the right combination directly.
