Where you’ll find Wheelco’s scaffold castors

Scaffolding is central to so many businesses' operations each day. As you might imagine, the set up, moving, use of and deconstruction of scaffolding can take a toll on components over a longer period of time. Even with clear quality standards that must be met on safety equipment like a scaffold, no parts are totally impervious to wear and tear. Castor wheels with brakes, the kinds that you’ll find on a scaffold are regularly manipulated with a work boot as they are released to enable movement of the scaffold unit around a house or building before being locked back in place. As users approach and climb up a scaffold, there’s also the chance of equipment or heavy materials like paint being dropped on the castors.

For these reasons and many others, scaffold castor wheels need to be replaced. Who better than the castor wheel experts Wheelco to provide high quality scaffold wheel replacements?

Advice for buying scaffold castors online

Finding a replacement online can speed up the process and reduce your downtime without a working scaffold. But there are some things to think about:

• What is the weight of the entire scaffold frame and platforms?
• What is the weight of equipment and materials the scaffold will be supporting?
• How many people and what is the total weight of everyone who’ll be on the scaffold?
• Do the total number of castors comfortably support all of the above weight combined?
• Is the castor rated to international standards?
• Does the scaffold castor allow for reassuring, stable braking, even on soft or uneven ground surfaces?
• Does the castor allow the scaffold to be easily moved incrementally against the side of a building or house? Can you rotate the entire scaffold easily with these castor wheels?
• Is the mount compatible with my scaffold?
• Do I need CAD files or support from the supplier with determining the compatibility and fit for purpose?
