Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Fixed Castors
Fixed castors are designed to provide stable and precise movement, making them the ideal choice for long-distance straight-line transport. Thanks to their rigid construction, fixed castors offer excellent lateral stability and ensure reliable directional control. When combined with swivel castors, they enable controlled yet manoeuvrable movement, providing both guidance and flexibility across a wide range of applications.
TENTE fixed castors offer various benefits:
Straight-line Movement – Fixed castors ensure stable and precise travel along straight paths without unwanted swivelling. This makes fixed castors particularly suitable for applications that require safe, controlled, and predictable movement.
High Stability – The rigid design of fixed castors provides superior lateral stability compared to swivel castors. This reduces the risk of tipping or drifting, especially when handling heavy loads. In demanding environments, heavy duty fixed castors are the preferred solution for maximum stability.
Controlled Manoeuvrability – When used in combination with swivel castors, fixed castors allow guided movement while maintaining directional flexibility. This ensures an optimal balance between control and manoeuvrability in applications using both swivel and fixed castors.
Higher Load Capacity – With fewer moving parts, fixed castors are able to support higher loads than comparable swivel castors..
Types of Fixed Castors
Fixed castors are available in a wide range of designs to suit different applications. From heavy duty fixed castors for industrial use to small fixed castors for compact equipment, each type of fixed castor is engineered to deliver the right balance of stability, durability, and performance.
