Swivel Footmaster Castor for Industrial Aluminium Profile Frame

Product Summary

As a leading aluminium profile manufacturer, we are proud to introduce the Swivel Footmaster Castor—a revolutionary solution that seamlessly integrates mobility and stability for industrial aluminium frame structures. This innovative component combines a 360° swivel caster with a retractable levelling foot, effectively solving the common dilemma of equipment that needs both easy movement and rock-solid stationary placement. The die-cast aluminium body with powder-coated finish ensures durability and corrosion resistance, while the modular design allows direct attachment to T-slot profiles without welding or complex machining. Ideal for automated equipment, workstations, and industrial cabinets, this castor features a vibration-damping NBR rubber foot pad that absorbs shock and prevents equipment creep. With dual load ratings for static and dynamic use, it offers superior stability compared to traditional caster brakes. Our manufacturing expertise ensures precise compatibility with MK Series 40/50 profiles and other 8mm T-slot systems, making it a versatile choice for any industrial application requiring frequent repositioning and absolute stationary stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the Footmaster Castor differ from using separate casters and levelling feet?
   Unlike traditional setups that require separate components, the Footmaster Castor integrates both functions into one compact unit. When the levelling foot is lowered, the wheel lifts completely off the ground, transferring all load to the rubber foot pad. This eliminates equipment creep far more effectively than caster brakes alone, saves space, and simplifies installation.
2. Can this castor be mounted on any aluminium profile frame?
   Yes, our Footmaster Castor is specifically designed for T-slot aluminium profiles. It uses a central bolt fixing system compatible with MK Series 40/50 (10mm T-slot) and other 8mm T-slot systems. The modular design allows quick attachment to profile ends or within slots using standard T-slot nuts—no drilling or welding required.
3. What load capacities are available, and how do static and dynamic ratings differ?
   Our castor models offer varying load capacities, with separate ratings for stationary (static) and moving (dynamic) conditions. For example, the MKFP-GD-40F supports up to 40 kg static load, while larger models like the MKFP-GD-120F handle higher weights. Dynamic load capacity is typically lower than static due to movement forces. Please refer to specific model specifications for exact ratings.
