Castor wheel GEKO G71516, swivel 160 mm, set of 12

Swivel castor wheel GEKO G71516, diameter 160 mm, supplied as a set of 12. This set includes twelve identical swivel castors intended for mounting on trolleys, workbenches, shelving units or other equipment that requires mobility. The 160 mm wheel diameter provides a balance between load-bearing capacity and rolling smoothness on workshop floors and industrial surfaces. The swivel design allows directional changes and easier maneuvering of loaded equipment in confined spaces.

Advantages

The set of 12 swivel castors offers uniform performance across multiple mounting points, ensuring even movement and stability. The 160 mm diameter improves obstacle clearance and reduces effort when rolling over small floor irregularities. Swivel mounting enables 360-degree rotation for flexible handling and positioning of carts or workstations. The castors are designed for general-purpose industrial and workshop use where durable, consistent mobility is required.

Suitable for

• Workshop trolleys and mobile tool cabinets
• Workbenches and portable assembly stations
• Storage shelving and mobile racking units
• Equipment and machinery that needs repositioning
• Light to medium industrial applications requiring multiple identical wheels

Key specifications

• Wheel diameter: 160 mm
• Mounting type: swivel
• Quantity in set: 12 pieces
• Intended use: general-purpose industrial and workshop mobility
• Compatibility: suitable for trolleys, benches, shelving and similar equipment

How to use

Prepare mounting points on the equipment where mobility is required and ensure surface and fasteners match the castor mounting plate or stem type. Align each swivel castor and secure it using appropriate bolts or screws tightened to recommended torque values for the equipment weight. After installation, test rolling and swivel function unloaded and then with typical operating load to verify smooth movement and correct orientation. Periodically inspect fastenings and wheel condition and tighten or replace as necessary to maintain safe operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results use on relatively even, hard surfaces typical of workshops and industrial floors. When installing on heavy or uneven loads, consider using a combination of swivel and fixed castors to improve directional control. Regularly check for debris in the wheel tread and inspect bearings and fastenings to ensure long service life.
