Castor wheels are a simple but essential part of workplace movement—helping trolleys, workbenches and equipment glide smoothly where they need to go. At AJ Products UK, we offer a wide range of castors designed for different surfaces, weights and environments, so your handling setup performs without resistance. From wheeled workstations to tool trolleys, many of the systems our customers use daily rely on castors for flexible positioning and efficient flow.
Whether it’s industrial shelving, tool stations or transport carts, reliable wheels make movement safer and faster. Our heavy duty castor wheels come in rubber, nylon or pneumatic formats, with options for both swivel and fixed use. Load capacities vary by design, so there’s always a model that matches your equipment and floor conditions. You’ll find them fitted to mobile tables in picking zones, enabling quick repositioning while reducing strain during stock handling.
For applications where vibration needs to be minimised—such as transporting fragile goods or navigating uneven ground—pneumatic castor wheels offer shock-absorbing performance with a quieter roll. Soft rubber castors are equally effective for reducing noise in customer-facing spaces or protecting delicate floor finishes. Many folding platform trolleys use these softer wheels to improve manoeuvrability over mixed terrain without damaging surfaces or compromising control.
Where surfaces vary and loads are heavier, polyurethane castor wheels deliver low rolling resistance and excellent load-bearing capacity across manufacturing and industrial environments. Their chemical resistance makes them ideal for use in areas with oils, greases and solvents. Nylon castors, on the other hand, are lightweight but capable of carrying heavy loads without leaving streaks—ideal for clean warehouse floors. In heavy lifting scenarios, such as repositioning machinery or large equipment, you’ll often see these castors integrated into machine skates that demand both precision and strength in confined workspaces.
