0How do you work out the load capacity?
June 27th, 2024
This depends on the configuration and takes into consideration the effect of uneven floor surfaces which can affect the castor share of the total loading. It also accounts for the possibility of one, or more, of the castors potentially lifting from the floor. For safe working, we calculate the load rating:
- For a 4 wheel configuration: Each castor has the capacity of 33% of the total load (divide the total load by 3 to give the load capacity of each castor)
- For a 3 wheel configuration: each castor has the capacity for 40% of the total load (divide the total load by 2.5 to give the load capacity for each castor)
- For a 6 wheel configuration: each castor has the capacity of 50% of the total load (divide the total load by 2 to give the load capacity for each castor)
See our configuration guide for further information.
