Light Duty Polyurethane on Plastic Centre Castors are versatile, durable wheels designed to provide smooth, quiet movement and excellent floor protection for light-to-medium duty applications. Featuring wear-resistant polyurethane tyres mounted on a robust plastic centre, these castors offer dependable performance for workshop trolleys, furniture, display units and portable equipment — all while helping protect surfaces from scuffs and marks.

Key Features & Benefits

Polyurethane Tyres: High-quality polyurethane offers excellent wear resistance, low rolling resistance and long service life, combining the strength of hard wheels with a cushioned ride that helps absorb shocks and reduce noise.

Smooth, Quiet Operation: The polyurethane tread rolls quietly and comfortably over a variety of indoor floor types — including wood, tile, laminate and concrete — without leaving marks.

Multipurpose Use: Ideal for light duty trolleys, carts, cabinets, shelving units, mobile workstations and home or office furniture that needs reliable mobility.

Floor Protection: Polyurethane is gentle on floors compared with metal or hard nylon wheels — protecting surfaces from scratches, gouges and tyre marks while rolling or repositioning equipment.

Easy Installation: Designed with standard mounting options to fit most plate or stem fixings (check your specific product model for exact mount type).
