For good practice a firm connection must be made between the castor and the transport device. The type and the size of the fixing element must suit the construction and the field of application of the transport device. Here considerably different forces can affect the castor attachment.
The following types of fixings are used:
L Bolt hole
Access hole through the swivelling axis of the castor for connection with movable equipment
G Threaded pin
For screwing into metal or wood structures
P Plate
For bolting onto metal or wooden structures
K0 Pin for nylon sockets
For ø- and tubes as well as wood structures
Z Fixing pin
For stable attachment in tubes
CS Flat pin
(on inquiry available)
Sockets
For fixing pins (see also »Wheels«)
