Wheel with Brake for Warsaw-Style Scaffolding, 160 mm — No name

Castor wheel with integrated brake designed for Warsaw-style (wandering) scaffolding, diameter 160 mm. This wheel provides mobility and a secure locking mechanism for scaffold towers used in construction, building maintenance and installation tasks. It is intended for scaffold frames that accept 160 mm castors and aims to make repositioning and on-site braking straightforward while maintaining platform stability.

Advantages

The 160 mm castor combines a robust wheel construction with an integrated brake that locks the wheel to prevent unintended movement of the scaffold. Its design is suitable for outdoor and indoor work sites where temporary raised platforms must be moved frequently and then securely immobilised. The brake mechanism is accessible and operable from ground level, enabling quick locking and releasing without tools.

Suitable for

• Assembly and repositioning of Warsaw-style scaffolding towers
• Construction, painting and facade maintenance tasks
• Indoor installation work where temporary elevated access is required
• Sites that require frequent moves and secure temporary locking of platforms

Key specifications

• Wheel diameter: 160 mm
• Integrated braking mechanism for immobilising the wheel
• Designed for use with Warsaw-style (wandering) scaffolding frames accepting 160 mm castors
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use on typical construction surfaces

How to use

Install the castor into the scaffold frame socket compatible with 160 mm wheels following the scaffold manufacturer's guidance. Ensure the wheel is fully seated and any retaining pins or fixings are engaged according to the frame design. When moving the scaffold, release the brake and push or tow the tower carefully on a level surface. To secure the scaffold in place, engage the integrated brake until the wheel is locked and the tower no longer moves. Regularly inspect the wheel tread and brake mechanism for wear or damage and replace if components are compromised.

Usage recommendations

Before each use, confirm the scaffold frame compatibility and check surface conditions. Use the brake whenever the scaffold is occupied or stationary on uneven or sloped surfaces. Maintain the castor by keeping moving parts free of debris and performing periodic visual inspections to ensure reliable braking and safe operation.
