Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Light Duty Castors
Light duty castors are designed for applications where the load per castor does not exceed 150 kg. They provide reliable mobility for equipment that doesn’t require heavy-duty capacity but still demands stability, smooth rolling, and durability. Available in a range of wheel materials, tread designs, and fitting types, these castors can be precisely matched to floor conditions, environmental factors, and specific mounting needs. From medical, commercial, and institutional settings to lighter industrial use, they ensure efficient handling without over-engineering the solution.
TENTE light duty castors offer several key benefits:
Precise Manoeuvrability – Engineered for ease of handling, these castors allow smooth directional changes and controlled movement, even in confined spaces or with frequent repositioning.
Tailored Wheel Options – Choose from materials such as thermoplastic rubber, polypropylene, or polyamide to achieve optimal rolling performance, noise reduction, and floor protection for your environment.
Flexible Mounting Configurations – Offered with plate, bolt hole, stem, and expander fittings, our light duty castors integrate seamlessly into new designs or retrofit applications.
Types of Light Duty Castors
Light duty castors come in a variety of configurations to suit different handling, stability, and performance requirements — all while maintaining a load capacity of up to 150 kg per castor. Whether the priority is smooth swivel manoeuvrability, straight-line tracking, or added stability under load, there is a light duty solution tailored to the task. Variations in wheel material, tread design, housing style, and fitting options allow these castors to perform reliably on diverse floor types and in a range of environments, from commercial spaces and healthcare facilities to light industrial applications.
Light Duty Swivel Castors
Light duty swivel castors enable smooth, multidirectional movement, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent repositioning in confined or busy spaces. This is especially beneficial in environments like retail, where navigating around obstacles is routine. Selecting the right wheel tread for the floor type ensures quiet, responsive handling — softer treads protect delicate surfaces, while harder treads lower rolling resistance on smooth, durable floors. The TENTE Linea series is a prime example, offering twin-wheel castors for healthcare, furniture, and industrial applications. With wheel diameters from 50 mm to 150 mm and load capacities up to 150 kg per castor, Linea combines robust housings, easy-to-clean surfaces, and smooth rolling with options such as conductive, antistatic, and stainless steel versions, plus features like locking mechanisms, noise reduction, and floor protection.
Braked Light Duty Castors
Braked light duty castors enhance workplace safety by using various locking systems: total locks stop both the wheel and swivel action completely, wheel brakes hold the wheel still while allowing swivelling, directional locks fix the swivel in a set direction for straight-line travel, intermittent brakes engage only when pressure is applied, and central locks control multiple castors at once from a single point. Light duty castors are also available with combined locking mechanisms. Braked light duty castors are essential in scenarios where equipment must remain stationary during use or storage. One representative product line in our range is the TENTE Levina series, designed mainly for medical and furniture applications where hygiene, design, and mobility are equally important. Available in wheel diameters from 75 to 150 mm and with load capacities of up to 100 kg per castor, Levina offers smooth, low-resistance rolling, and easy-to-clean surfaces. These castors are available with either a directional lock, a total lock, or a central total lock. To improve user-friendliness and workflow, total locks use a red pedal, while directional locks use a green foot pedal.
Twin Light Duty Castors
Twin light duty castors are equipped with two wheels mounted in parallel within the same housing. This configuration spreads the load over a larger contact area, reducing point pressure on floors and improving stability under load. The twin design also enhances directional control and reduces rolling resistance, making it easier to start, stop, and manoeuvre the load. These castors are particularly well-suited for applications where both stability and smooth directional changes are important. Within our selection, the TENTE Agila twin series stands out as a notable example. It combines a compact, robust design with excellent manoeuvrability and versatility. Available in wheel diameters from 50 mm to 75 mm, these castors can handle loads of up to 100 kg per castor (depending on the configuration). The series offers pressed steel swivel housings with optional integrated locking mechanisms for enhanced safety. Fitting options include bolt hole, stem, and plate fitting to cater to a wide range of applications.
Fields of Application for Light Duty Castors
Light duty castors are used across a broad range of sectors where individual castors carry loads of up to 150 kg and equipment benefits from smooth, controlled mobility. They are commonly used for applications in retail like shopping trolleys, store fixtures and mobile displays, for healthcare applications like anaesthesia carts, medication carts, care beds and more. In industrial and workshop settings, they are suited to lighter transport equipment, tool cabinets, work benches and more. The furniture industry also makes extensive use of light duty castors for office chairs, media furniture, and movable storage, while in logistics they are found on roll cages and smaller transport carts. Across these environments, the right wheel material can be chosen to protect delicate floors, reduce rolling resistance on smooth surfaces, or enhance grip in demanding conditions.
