Castors – Replacement Castors for Bakery and Industrial Trolleys

Frequently Asked Questions About Castors

Industrial castors are replacement components designed to ensure that bakery, oven and kitchen trolleys move safely, smoothly and with proper balance. The correct castor should be selected according to its load capacity, mounting type and the conditions of the floor on which the trolley will be used.

The EKMAŞ castor range includes replacement models suitable for pan trolleys, loader trolleys and industrial transport trolleys. Available with or without brakes, these castors help ensure safe, stable and efficient trolley operation.

How do you replace a bakery trolley castor?

Bakery trolley castors are generally mounted using a bolt-and-nut connection or a mounting plate. The worn castor should be removed and replaced with a model that has the same diameter, mounting type and load capacity. Once installed, the connection points should be checked and the trolley should be tested to ensure that it moves smoothly and remains properly balanced.

When should a braked castor be used?

A braked castor should be used whenever the trolley needs to remain securely in position. It helps reduce the risk of unintended movement during loading and unloading, while waiting in front of an oven or when the trolley is positioned on a sloped surface. For improved safety, using at least two braked castors on pan trolleys and loader trolleys is recommended.

Which castor is compatible with which trolley?

Castor compatibility depends on the wheel diameter, load capacity, mounting type, fixed or swivel construction and the type of floor on which the trolley will operate. For assistance in selecting the correct replacement castor for an EKMAŞ trolley, technical support is available by calling +90 850 650 00 00.

What is the purpose of castors in commercial kitchens?

Commercial kitchen castors allow heavy equipment and transport trolleys to be moved more safely and with less effort. In bakeries, pastry shops and professional kitchens, they reduce the need for manual lifting, improve workflow efficiency and make the handling of heavy loads more practical.

What are the features of cast iron wheels?

Cast iron wheels are preferred for their high load-bearing capacity, robust construction and suitability for intensive use. When selecting a cast iron wheel for an industrial transport trolley, the condition of the floor and the total weight of the load should always be taken into consideration.

Why are polyamide wheels preferred?

Polyamide wheels are widely used in commercial kitchens because of their strong construction, high load capacity and smooth rolling performance. When fitted to pan trolleys, loader trolleys and transport equipment, they help heavy loads move more easily and with less physical effort.

Why are castors used in industrial kitchens?

Castors make it easier to reposition equipment, move heavy loads safely and organise the available working space more efficiently. Swivel castors provide improved manoeuvrability, while braked castors help keep the trolley or equipment securely in place during use.

What should be considered when selecting a castor?

When selecting a castor, the load capacity, wheel diameter, mounting type, braked or unbraked design, floor compatibility and the total weight of the trolley should all be considered. Choosing an unsuitable castor may negatively affect the trolley’s balance, manoeuvrability, operating life and overall safety.

How much do EKMAŞ castors cost?

EKMAŞ castor prices may vary depending on the wheel diameter, material, load capacity, mounting type and whether the model is supplied with or without a brake. For current pricing, please visit the relevant product pages on ekmas.com.tr or contact EKMAŞ directly.
