Caster wheel with brake Vorel 87411 – polypropylene wheel Ø40 mm

Vorel 87411 is a swivel caster wheel with brake, featuring a polypropylene wheel with a 40 mm diameter and a metal fixing plate for straightforward mounting. The compact design suits furniture, light trolleys and workbenches where low-profile mobility and a locking function are required. The polypropylene wheel and plastic-coated components resist corrosion and are intended for indoor environments.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction keeps the caster lightweight and resistant to moisture and chemical staining common in workshop or domestic settings. The integrated brake allows secure immobilization of the wheel without additional tools, while the swivel head provides directional freedom for easy maneuvering. The fixing plate ensures stable attachment to flat surfaces and distributes load evenly across the mounting area.

Suitable for

• Small furniture items such as cabinets and shelves
• Light mobile trolleys and utility carts
• Workbenches and tool stands that require occasional repositioning
• Indoor applications where compact, low-profile casters are preferred

Key specifications

• Wheel material: polypropylene
• Wheel diameter: 40 mm
• Type: swivel caster with integrated brake
• Mounting: metal fixing plate for screw attachment
• Bearing: plain bearing for smooth rotation
• Intended environment: indoor use

How to use

Prepare the mounting surface by ensuring it is flat, clean and capable of supporting the intended load. Position the fixing plate and mark screw hole locations, then attach the caster using appropriate screws for the material (wood screws for timber, machine screws with nuts for metal). After mounting, test swivel movement and engage the brake to confirm locking function. For multiple casters, ensure they are aligned and load distribution is balanced before regular use.

Usage recommendations

Use the caster on even, hard indoor floors to prolong wheel life and maintain smooth operation. Avoid excessive loads beyond the recommended capacity for small 40 mm casters and periodically check fasteners and the brake mechanism for wear or loosening.
