Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Nylon Castors
Nylon castors are a robust mobility solution designed for demanding applications. Known for their high load capacity and low rolling resistance, these castors excel in environments where durability and efficiency are key. Their hard nylon tread ensures minimal wear and smooth manoeuvring on firm surfaces. With a variety of housing types and mounting options, nylon castors can be tailored to meet a wide range of operational requirements.
TENTE nylon castors offer various benefits:
High Load Capacity - Nylon castors can carry heavy loads with ease thanks to their rigid and durable tread. This makes them ideal for demanding applications that require reliable performance under pressure.
Low Rolling Resistance - The hard nylon tread surface enables smooth and effortless rolling, even under full load. This improves manoeuvrability and reduces the effort required to move equipment.
Exceptional Wear Resistance - Nylon is highly resistant to abrasion and deformation, ensuring a long service life even in continuous operation. Its durability minimizes maintenance and replacement needs.
Chemical and Moisture Resistance - Nylon castors perform well in environments exposed to water, cleaning agents, and many industrial chemicals. This makes them suitable for hygiene-sensitive and industrial settings.
Temperature Tolerance - Withstanding a wide range of temperatures, nylon castors remain functional in both cold storage and warmer working conditions without compromising performance.
Nylon castors are available in a variety of designs to meet the specific demands of industrial, healthcare, and furniture applications. Each type is engineered to deliver targeted performance benefits - ranging from high load capacity and low rolling resistance to excellent durability and chemical resistance. Below are some of the most common types of nylon castors and their key advantages:
Heavy Duty Nylon Castors
Designed for the most demanding industrial tasks, heavy duty nylon castors excel under high loads without compromising rolling performance. Their rigid tread ensures reliable mobility in warehouses, production halls, and distribution centres. These benefits make nylon castors particularly well-suited for heavy duty transport trolleys and more. One example is our Kappa castor – using a DURATECH nylon wheel it can handle loads of to 3,000 kg. Another example is our Omikron twin, equipped with two nylon wheels it is capable of handling loads of up to 15,000 kg.
Nylon Swivel Castors
Nylon swivel castors provide excellent manoeuvrability, allowing to change direction smoothly and effortlessly. They are especially valuable in confined spaces, making them ideal for applications like catering carts, meal delivery systems, professional cleaning care and mobile furniture, where precise handling is required. One example is our Alpha stainless swivel castor – using a stainless steel swivel housing, it can be equipped with a nylon wheel, allowing for a load capacity of 500 kg per castor.
Small Nylon Castors
Small nylon castors are designed for compact furniture and light equipment where space-saving mobility is essential. With wheel diameters starting from just 35 mm, they provide smooth rolling for applications like bedside tables, office furniture, and other lightweight mobile applications. Their hard nylon tread ensures durable performance while keeping the overall height to a minimum, making them ideal for designs where both functionality and a discreet appearance are required.
Fields of Application for Nylon Castors
Nylon castors are chosen wherever high load capacity, low rolling resistance, and long-lasting durability are required. Their robust design makes them a popular choice for industrial, healthcare, and furniture applications, supporting both light duty and heavy duty equipment. In industrial and logistics environments, nylon castors are used for applications like professional cleaning carts, transport equipment, and production and platform trolleys, where smooth maneuvering under heavy loads is essential. Their hard nylon tread ensures minimal wear, even during continuous operation in production and warehouse settings. In healthcare applications, nylon castors are fitted to applications like patient lifters, treatment chairs, and bedside tables, offering reliable and low-maintenance mobility. Their resistance to cleaning agents and moisture makes them well-suited for hygiene-sensitive environments. For furniture and mobile applications, nylon castors are commonly found on applications like catering carts, media furniture and office chairs. They enable effortless repositioning of equipment and furniture, ensuring functional mobility in both professional and commercial settings.
