Tip 1: How to Choose a Castor or Wheel
What Load Capacity Do I Need?
Take the total load weight of your project
(eg. I'm making a trolley that needs to hold 500kg)
Divide that number by the quantity of castors to be used
(eg. I'm going to use 4 castors for my trolley)
Now you have the capacity required per castor!
(eg. 500kg divided by 4 = 125kg per castor)
