Castors & wheels
This document provides comprehensive technical specifications and guidelines for selecting wheels and castors, focusing on load capacities, materials, and usage environments. It is applicable across various sectors such as materials handling, local authorities, hospital beds, and furniture.
- Nominal Load Capacity: Defined by standard NF EN No. 12527, specifying maximum load capacities for different applications and speeds.
- Materials and Construction: Details on tyre, wheel rim, axle, and locking mechanisms, with materials like rubber, polyurethane, and cast iron discussed for their environmental suitability.
- Load Calculation: Total load is calculated by adding the weight of the load to the trolley's weight, with load per wheel determined by dividing the total load by the number of wheels minus one.
- Selection Criteria: Factors such as speed, surface type, and environmental conditions are crucial for selecting the appropriate wheel or castor.
- References to standards (NF EN 12527 to 12532) for testing parameters and load capacities under various conditions.
- Usage Intensity: For intense usage, select wheels with larger diameters and appropriate bearings.
- Surface Considerations: Choose wheels with larger diameters and resilient treads for uneven surfaces.
- Environmental Factors: Consider chemical exposure and temperature when selecting materials.
- For high maneuverability, use swivel castors; for stability, use a combination of swivel and fixed castors.
- Consider the reduction in load capacity with increased speed and select materials accordingly.
- Charts provide guidance on rolling resistance, load capacity reduction with speed, and material suitability for different surfaces and chemicals.
This document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting the appropriate wheels and castors based on specific technical requirements and environmental conditions.
The document outlines various wheel types for materials handling, including specifications for wheel rim materials, tyre types, hub configurations, and dimensions. Materials include polypropylene copolymer, rubber, and reinforced safety casings.
Each wheel type is associated with specific applications, such as industrial materials handling or environments requiring high resistance to temperature and abrasion. Key features include cost-effectiveness, resistance to tyre shedding, non-marking properties, and flexibility.
Compliance with European and French standards ensures products meet specific safety and performance criteria.
Tables provide comprehensive overviews of dimensions, load capacities, and EAN codes for each product, facilitating easy identification and selection.
The document outlines a comprehensive range of wheels and castors tailored for various industrial applications, emphasizing durability, efficiency, and adaptability to different environments.

What are the characteristics of the load to be moved? L_ In addition to its volume and dimensions, the total weight of the load to be moved is a dcisive factor when making a choice. In the case of material handling equipment, the weight of the load to be transported must be added to the unloaded weight of the trolley. J - TOTAL LOAD = unloaded weight of the trolley + load to be transported. To achieve a uniform distribution between the wheels, the unit load is calculated as follows: UNIT LOAD = total load / total number of wheels or castors - 1 The standard NF EN No. 12527 defines the wheel and...

What traverse speed? The load capacity decreases with the material's traverse speed. Up to 4 kmph, the maximum acceptable loads are specified in this catalogue, under the conditions defined by the standards NF EN 12527 to 12532. Օ Over and above 4 kmph, the standard recommends other test parameters. The choice of a wheel or castor then presupposes a specific study. Technical advice In this case, choose a wheel or castor suited to the use you will make of it bearing in mind this advice from our technical department. Study the hardness of the tread, the strength of the swivel system and the heating...
