Castors for Every Floor Type

Selecting the right castor isn’t just about load capacity – it’s about how the wheel performs under real conditions. Richmond works with industries across New Zealand to solve challenges around rolling resistance, surface wear, and reliable movement in demanding environments.

Some key considerations include:

• Load size and distribution – Larger loads need stronger frames and denser materials. The castors range from 28kg up to 10-tonne capacity.
• Floor conditions – From smooth concrete to uneven surfaces, we’ll help match the right castor wheel to the task.
• Wheel size and hardness – Larger diameters can reduce rolling resistance. We’ll help you find the right solution to reduce strain and wear.
• Environment – If your workspace involves water, high heat, or corrosive materials, we supply castors designed for harsh or specialised environments.

From compact trolleys to heavy-duty machinery, every application demands the right castor setup. With decades of experience, we help customers identify the right specifications to ensure long-term performance, safety, and ease of movement.
