In brief
Prices and stock levels are in the B2B shop. Sets for a specific appliance are put together to order.
Set KJ-O-LPS-50 combines a nylon Ø50 mm wheel with a foot, in a black powder-coated steel housing. Its declared load capacity is 500 kg.
A construction with a foot solves in a different way the same task that a brake performs elsewhere. The unit is rolled on its wheels, and once in position it is lowered onto the foot – the weight then comes off the wheels entirely, not just off their rotation.
This matters with heavy equipment that must not be left on flexible treads for many hours. The foot transfers the load to a rigid point and removes the risk of the wheel deforming permanently where it stands.
How to choose a castor for the load and the floor – we explained it in the selection guide for this category.

Ask a questionThe load rating depends on the design of the fork and axle, not only on the wheel diameter. Diameter alone does not determine load capacity.
A brake locks the rotation of the wheel, but the weight still rests on the tread. A foot lifts the unit and passes the load outside the wheel, which with high masses is the more dependable solution.
Usually yes, because a foot only works sensibly when the whole unit is lowered evenly. Mixing them with conventional sets complicates levelling.
