Threaded Castors

Threaded Castors, which are also know as Threaded Castor Wheels, are a common type of furniture castor used in commercial environments for facilitating smooth and controlled movement of various equipment and furniture. These castors are mounted via a threaded stem, offering a secure and adjustable attachment ideal for a wide range of applications.

Our comprehensive range includes wheel diameters from 38mm to 125mm, features options such as hard and soft wheels, braked and non-braked versions and specialised types like antimicrobial and conductive castors. Materials span from durable nylon and rubber to thermoplastics, catering to diverse load capacities and flooring types.

For different mounting solutions, explore our related categories: Plate Castors and Stem Castors, offering similar versatility with alternative fittings suitable for screw mounting and push to fit applications respectively.

Key Features and Benefits of Threaded Castors

• Secure Attachment: Threaded stems provide a robust and adjustable connection that screws directly into the furniture or equipment frame. This ensures excellent stability and allows fine adjustments to be made during installation, making them a reliable choice for both light and heavy-duty applications.
• Versatile Options: Available in a wide range of configurations including fixed, swivel, braked and unbraked versions. Swivel castors allow for smooth manoeuvring in compact spaces, fixed versions provide straight-line stability and braked options add safety when stationary.
• Material Variety: Manufactured from high-performance materials such as nylon, polyurethane, rubber and thermoplastics. Nylon offers strength and resistance to wear, polyurethane balances durability with quiet rolling and rubber wheels protect delicate flooring in offices, schools and residential environments.
• Specialised Features: Designed for specific needs, antimicrobial castors help reduce the spread of bacteria in hospitals and care facilities while conductive versions are ideal for environments where static build-up must be controlled such as electronics assembly lines or laboratories.
• Load Capacities: Engineered to carry a wide range of loads from lightweight furniture to industrial machinery. This versatility ensures that threaded castors deliver consistent long-term performance even under demanding conditions.
• Noise Reduction: Many options include softer treads that absorb vibration and reduce operational noise. This feature is especially useful in offices, healthcare facilities and hospitality venues where a quieter environment is important.
• Floor Protection: With soft tread and rubber wheel options available, threaded castors minimise marking or scratching on sensitive flooring, helping to preserve surfaces such as wood, vinyl and tile while reducing maintenance costs.
