Wheels and castors guide Manoeuvrability Castors must be positioned to meet requirements for the manoeuvrability and steering of units and machines. A number of different castor arrangements are described below. www.blickle.com Two swivel and fixed castors with identical mounting height Three swivel castors with identical mounting height Four swivel castors with identical mounting height Suitable for small loads and narrow routes. The transport equipment is very easy to move in any direction. The transport equipment is relatively difficult to manouevre when travelling straight. This can be improved by fitting a directional lock to one of the three swivel castors. This castor arrangement can make the transport equipment more susceptible to tipping.

The central fixed castors can be replaced with a wheel set, i.e. two wheels on an axle. Complicated castor arrangement, suitable for towing. The transport equipment is easy to manouevre when cornering and moving in a straight line and rotates easily on the spot. It is particularly well suited for heavy loads and long units. Constant surface contact of the fixed castors is required for manoeuvrability. The central fixed castors can be replaced with a wheel set, i.e. two wheels on an axle.
