Castor and Wheel Accessories for Installation and Maintenance
The right accessory makes installation faster and extends the working life of your castors and wheels. This guide covers the main accessory types stocked, what each one does, and how to select the correct specification for your equipment.
Threaded Tube Inserts
Threaded tube inserts fit inside square or round hollow tube sections to provide a threaded socket for stem-mount castors. They eliminate the need for welding or drilling and allow castors to be swapped out without modifying the frame. Selecting the correct insert requires matching the tube inner diameter and the castor stem thread size.
Levelling Feet
Levelling feet adjust the height and stability of benches, machines, and shelving on uneven floors. They thread into a pre-installed insert or directly into the equipment base. Models with rubber pads reduce vibration and prevent floor marking. Load ratings vary by diameter and thread pitch, so check the specification against your equipment weight before ordering.
Mounting Plates and Replacement Parts
Top plates, bolt holes, and stem adapters allow castors to be fitted to equipment that was not originally designed for them. Replacement wheels, bearings, and brake components extend the service life of existing castors without requiring a full replacement. Matching the bolt pattern and overall height is the key step before ordering any replacement part.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right threaded tube insert?Measure the inner diameter of your tube and the thread size of your castor stem. The insert must fit snugly inside the tube and accept the stem thread without play. Common sizes are M10 and M12 stems in 25mm, 30mm, and 40mm tube sections.
What load rating do levelling feet need to support?Divide the total weight of the equipment by the number of feet, then add a buffer of at least 20% for dynamic loads and floor irregularities. Heavier equipment requires feet with larger base diameters and finer thread pitches for precise adjustment.
Can I replace just the wheel on an existing castor?Yes, provided the replacement wheel matches the bore diameter, axle size, and overall width of the original. Replacing the wheel alone is more cost-effective than replacing the full castor rig when the bracket and bearings are still in good condition.
Do levelling feet work on polished concrete floors?Rubber-base levelling feet grip polished concrete without marking the surface. Hard nylon or steel base feet are better suited to rough concrete where rubber would wear quickly.
Do you stock accessories for all castor brands?The accessories stocked are designed to standard metric dimensions and fit most commercial and industrial castors sold in Australia. If you need a specific part, contact us with the castor model and the dimension you need to confirm compatibility.
