Blickle Apparatus Castors and Wheels
Blickle apparatus castors for equipment, furniture, trolleys and machines – as swivel or fixed castors with various mounting options and treads.
Mobility for equipment and furnishings
Apparatus castors make equipment and furnishings mobile when they need to be moved, cleaned or rearranged regularly: workshop trolleys, measuring instruments, laboratory and medical equipment, shop fittings, furniture or light machine frames. They are compact, run smoothly and quietly and protect sensitive floors. This extensive category brings together Blickle's range of apparatus wheels and castors in many series and sizes.
Selection criteria
- Design: swivel castors for manoeuvrability, fixed castors for directional stability, versions with brake to lock the position.
- Mounting: for example with top plate, threaded or plug-in stem, or bolt hole – to suit the design of the equipment.
- Tread: soft, elastic treads run quietly and protect floors, while hard treads roll more easily on smooth floors.
- Bearing: the type of wheel bearing affects ease of movement and maintenance requirements.
- Load capacity and diameter: larger wheels roll over edges and joints more easily.
- Special requirements: electrically conductive versions are also available for dissipative applications; check the details in the manufacturer's technical documentation.

Frequently asked questions
How many swivel castors does a piece of equipment need?
Four swivel castors provide maximum manoeuvrability. Two swivel and two fixed castors, on the other hand, improve straight-line running, for example over longer distances.
Which tread suits sensitive floors?
Soft, elastic treads are particularly gentle on floors and quiet. For light-coloured floors, choose suitable tread materials according to the manufacturer's information.
How do I determine the required load capacity?
Divide the total weight of equipment and payload by the number of castors and allow for a reserve, as not all castors carry the load evenly on uneven floors.
