Furniture Castors – Reliable Mobility for Modern Equipment

High-Quality Furniture Castors for Everyday Use

At M&M Intercom, we provide a wide selection of furniture castors designed for safe, quiet and reliable movement of furniture in various environments. Our castors are designed for light to medium loads and are suitable for chairs, drawer units, cabinets, tables, shelving units and retail equipment.
As functionality, aesthetics and floor protection are essential in furniture applications, we offer furniture castors in various designs, materials and mounting types. Load capacities range from 35 kg to 80 kg per castor, making them suitable for both residential and commercial environments.
Our range includes trusted manufacturers such as LIV castors and Colson, known for high manufacturing quality, durable materials and long service life.

Types of Furniture Castors by Design

Selecting suitable furniture castors depends on the intended use and expected load. Available designs include:

• swivel castors enabling 360° rotation for maximum maneuverability
• swivel castors with brake for secure positioning
• castor wheels without fork, suitable for special applications or replacement of existing components

For larger furniture pieces or retail equipment, swivel castors with brake are recommended to provide stability and prevent unwanted movement.

Tread and Wheel Centre Materials – The Right Choice for Floor Protection

The tread material directly affects floor protection, operating noise and wear resistance. Our range includes:

• GU – rubber tread providing quiet operation and protection of sensitive floors
• PE – polyethylene, wear-resistant and suitable for harder surfaces
• TPE – thermoplastic rubber combining elasticity and high resistance

Wheel centres are typically made of PP – polypropylene or PA – polyamide, ensuring stability and mechanical resistance.
With the correct material combination, furniture castors operate quietly and protect parquet, ceramic tiles and other floor surfaces from damage.

Load Capacity and Dimensions of Furniture Castors

Proper load assessment is essential when selecting castors. Our furniture castors are available with load capacities of 35 kg, 40 kg, 50 kg, 60 kg, 70 kg, 75 kg and 80 kg per castor. The total weight of the furniture including contents should be divided by the number of castors used.
Available diameters:

• 40 mm
• 45 mm
• 50 mm
• 75 mm
• 100 mm

A larger diameter provides easier movement and better ability to overcome small obstacles.
Wheel widths range from 10 mm to 56 mm, allowing adaptation to specific furniture construction requirements.

Mounting Options for Easy Installation

For quick and secure installation, we offer various mounting types:

• Top plate
• Bolt hole
• Stem
• Threaded bolt
• Grip ring stem

Selecting the correct mounting type ensures stability and prevents loosening during long-term use. For furniture requiring frequent removal or replacement, threaded bolt or bolt hole versions are recommended.

Bearing Type and Smooth Operation

Most of our furniture castors use a plain bearing (DR), suitable for lower speeds and everyday use. For more demanding applications, versions with ball bearing (KR) are available, providing smoother rotation and extended service life.
A high-quality bearing reduces friction, lowers noise and minimizes wheel wear.

Use of Furniture Castors in Various Environments

Furniture castors are not limited to residential use. They are frequently used in:

• retail equipment
• chest freezers
• refrigerators
• warehouse shelving
• mobile work tables

Due to compact dimensions and adaptable materials, they are suitable for environments requiring a combination of mobility and stability.

Advantages of High-Quality Furniture Castors

Investing in quality furniture castors provides:

• longer furniture service life
• floor surface protection
• reduced movement noise
• increased safety with brake option
• easy installation and replacement

With the correct selection, wear is minimized, damage is prevented and overall user experience is improved.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furniture Castors

1. How to select furniture castors based on load capacity?
When selecting suitable furniture castors, the total weight of the furniture including contents must be considered. Divide the total weight by the number of castors and choose a castor with appropriate load capacity (35 kg, 40 kg, 50 kg, 60 kg, 70 kg, 75 kg or 80 kg per castor). A safety margin is recommended, as dynamic loads (movement, impacts, uneven surfaces) increase actual force on each castor.
2. Which furniture castors are suitable for parquet or sensitive floors?
For sensitive floors such as parquet, laminate or vinyl, castors with rubber (GU) or TPE tread are recommended. Softer materials prevent scratches and ensure quiet operation. Harder materials such as PE are more suitable for ceramic, concrete or industrial floors.
3. What is the difference between plain bearing and ball bearing in furniture castors?
Most furniture castors use plain bearings (DR), suitable for lower speeds and everyday use. Ball bearings (KR) provide easier rotation, lower friction and longer service life, making them suitable for more demanding applications or frequent movement.
4. Are swivel castors better than fixed ones?
Swivel castors allow 360° rotation, ensuring greater maneuverability and easy movement in all directions. Fixed castors are suitable for linear movement. Furniture applications most commonly use swivel versions or a combination of swivel castors with brake.
5. When to choose furniture castors with brake?
If furniture must remain stable after repositioning, swivel castors with brake are recommended. The brake prevents rotation and provides additional safety, especially important for retail equipment, mobile tables or larger cabinets.
6. What wheel diameter should be selected?
Diameter influences obstacle clearance and movement comfort. Smaller castors (40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm) are suitable for lighter furniture. Larger diameters (75 mm, 100 mm) allow easier movement of heavier items and improved stability.
7. How is installation performed?
Installation depends on the mounting type. Versions are available with top plate, bolt hole, stem, threaded bolt or grip ring stem. Proper and stable mounting ensures even load distribution and long service life.
8. Can furniture castors be used in shops or warehouses?
Yes, furniture castors are frequently used for retail equipment, chest freezers, refrigerators, mobile shelving and work tables. Proper load capacity and tread material selection are essential based on floor type and frequency of use.
9. How to extend the service life of furniture castors?
Regularly check mounting stability, remove hair and dust from the rotation axis and ensure proper load distribution. Selecting wear-resistant materials also contributes to extended service life.
10. Is it possible to replace only one castor?
Although technically possible, replacing all castors at the same time is recommended, especially on older furniture. This ensures even wear, stability and optimal system performance.
