Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Castor Wheels & Castors | Buy Online

What types of castors are available for different workplace needs?

We offer a wide selection of castors including rubber castor wheels for smooth rolling, pneumatic castor wheels for shock absorption, and heavy duty castor wheels for industrial-grade loads. Each type is designed to suit different surfaces and environments.

How do pneumatic swivel wheels benefit heavy load handling?

Pneumatic swivel wheels are ideal for transporting heavy items over uneven or rough terrain. Their air-filled design cushions the load, making movement quieter and more stable — especially useful in warehouses or outdoor settings.

Are rubber castor wheels floor-friendly?

Yes, rubber castor wheels are gentle on floors and reduce noise during movement. They’re a great choice for indoor use, particularly in office or retail settings where surface protection and quieter operation are priorities.

How do I choose between light-duty and heavy duty castor wheels?

Choosing the right wheels depends on load weight, surface type, and frequency of use. For industrial applications or regular transport of heavier items, heavy duty castor wheels offer the strength and durability required.

Castor wheels that improve mobility across every workspace

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.

Built for warehouse floors, workshop rigs and mobile setups

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.

Pneumatic and rubber castors for smoother motion and shock absorption

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.

Polyurethane and nylon castors for high-load control and chemical resistance

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.
