Tower Castor Glides
Our Tower Castor Glides are designed for use either during the manufacturing of office furniture or as a reliable replacement for castor wheels. Unlike wheels, they provide fixed stability rather than mobility, helping to keep furniture steady in its position. Manufactured from high-quality polyamide plastic and paired with a strong steel stud, these glides are built to high specifications to ensure durability and compatibility across a wide range of applications.
Tower Castors can be implemented as glides to support easy repositioning across softer surfaces or to prevent the need for lifting heavy furniture. While they are best suited for soft surfaces such as carpet, they can also be used on medium surfaces including vinyl flooring where a stable yet slightly mobile solution is required.
We stock Tower Castor Glides in similar sizes to our standard castor wheel range, including industry standard stem diameters such as 10mm and 11mm. This makes them suitable for direct replacement during repairs or for integration during furniture manufacturing. Free samples are available on request to ensure suitability before purchase.
