Review the load
& operating conditions.
Record the equipment, its payload and the travel conditions before comparing a model’s rated load.
START WITH THE WHOLE EQUIPMENTEquipment weight
Equipment weight
+ maximum payload
Keep total loaded equipment weight separate from the rated load per castor. The castor layout, load distribution and working conditions need to be reviewed together.
Castor layout & load sharing
Provide the number and position of castors. Review uneven loading, frame movement, floor joints and impact with the selected model.
Travel & duty
Describe manual pushing or towing, travel speed, distance and frequency. Include ramps, obstacles and turning conditions.
Working environment
Record temperature, floor condition, moisture, cleaning agents and other exposure. Ask for a review where conditions are uncertain.
03 / YOUR SELECTION GUIDE
Compare wheel
materials.
Use the material name as a starting point, then review the complete wheel and its published specification.
| Wheel material | What to evaluate | Confirm for the selected model |
|---|---|---|
| Elastic rubber | Noise, vibration, floor contact and tread deflection. | Complete wheel construction, hardness, load and working environment. |
| Solid rubber | General handling conditions, floor contact and rolling effort. | Tread construction, dimensions, bearing and model-specific rating. |
| Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) | Indoor floor conditions, cleaning and rolling behavior. | Tread formulation, temperature limits and the published model specification. |
| Polyurethane (PU) | Load, wear, rolling effort and the wheel-core construction. | Tread formulation, bonding, floor conditions and exposure to chemicals or moisture. |
| Polypropylene (PP) | Floor suitability, rolling behavior and environmental exposure. | Wheel dimensions, bearing arrangement and the rating of the selected model. |
| Polyamide / nylon (PA) | Floor joints, noise, impact and the operating environment. | Complete wheel specification, temperature, moisture and chemical exposure. |

Choose bearings
& control functions.
Review wheel rotation and fork movement separately, then confirm how the equipment must steer and park.
TWO DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS
Wheel rotation.
Fork direction.
Wheel bearing
Supports the wheel around its axle. Compare the specified bearing with the travel conditions, environment and maintenance requirements.
Swivel assembly
Return to the component view Lets the fork change direction below the mounting. Its construction and configuration depend on the selected castor series.
01
Swivel
Allows the fork to turn as the equipment changes direction.
02
Fixed
Keeps the wheel aligned in one direction; review the complete equipment layout.
03
Wheel brake
Restrains wheel rotation. Confirm the brake action for the selected configuration.
04
Total brake
Restrains wheel rotation and swivel movement in the applicable configuration.
05
Directional lock
Holds a swivel direction while allowing the wheel to roll. Check the available positions and operation.
Availability and brake action vary by series. Confirm the function and compatible configuration in the model information.

questions.
What is the difference between a wheel bearing and a swivel bearing?
The wheel bearing supports wheel rotation around the axle. The swivel assembly lets the fork change direction below the mounting. They perform different functions and should be checked separately in the selected model specification.
Which dimensions should I provide when replacing an existing castor?
Provide wheel diameter and width, overall height, mounting type, plate size, fixing-hole centres and mounting-hole size. Include the available swivel space, equipment load and photographs or a drawing of the existing installation.
Can you help if I do not know the model code?
Describe the equipment, total loaded weight, castor layout, floor and operating conditions. Add any known mounting dimensions and quantity. The team can review the information and discuss which model details still need to be confirmed.
Does this exploded view show every Taishan castor construction?
It is an illustrative decomposition based on the supplied blue swivel-castor photograph. Internal bearing details and fastening arrangements vary. Use the drawing and specification for the exact model before confirming an order.
