Plate Caster Wheels are a widely used type of furniture castor engineered to provide smooth directional movement and reliable support in both commercial and industrial settings. These castors are securely mounted via a flat top plate that features multiple screw holes allowing for firm attachment to the base of furniture or equipment. This design offers significantly improved stability and better weight distribution compared to alternative mounting methods such as threaded or stem fixings.

Plate-mounted castors are particularly advantageous when supporting heavy loads as the broad contact area helps minimise stress on the mounting surface. Ideal for trolleys, cabinets, retail displays and workshop equipment they ensure consistent manoeuvrability while reducing wear on flooring surfaces. Whether used in hospitality medical logistics or office environments plate caster wheels deliver dependable performance for applications where both safety and mobility are essential.
