Manufacturing shop furniture is no easy task. It requires skill, patience, and an eye for detail. This eye for detail also applies to finding the right castor that fits to the design of furniture. When it comes to castors one of the biggest issues is to find the ones with the right size. Castors with a bigger size (larger diameter) are typically preferred because they feature a higher load capacity.
This means that they can carry more weight without breaking or wearing down. However, bigger castors can also ruin the design of shop furniture. They can make the furniture look bulky and unattractive, which can be a major issue for shop owners who want their stores to look sleek and modern.
Low-height castors to complement your design
A possible solution to this problem is the use of robust castors with low overall height. Unlike conventional castors, which are often large and bulky, these castors can be placed discreetly under the piece of shop furniture. This way, the appearance of the shop furniture is not affected and it maintains its aesthetics. These castors are an ideal choice especially for modern pieces of shop furniture, which often feature a minimalist design. The only shortcoming here is that these castors may not have high load capacities – and that is where TENTE comes in.
Our solution for you: Linea load
Our Linea load castor has the unique advantage of a small diameter combined with a high load capacity. With a wheel diameter of just 50mm, this castor can carry a load of up to 100kg, making it a particularly efficient and versatile product. The small diameter of the wheels allow more space to show and expose the displayed product.
In addition, Linea load can be seamlessly integrated into furniture to perfectly showcase sales products. The castor is available in various colours to complement the furniture design. If you need a special colour, feel free to contact our experts. We will create the perfect customised colour for you.
On top of that, Linea load offers optimal manoeuvrability in an unlocked position. In other words, it can be moved easily and flexibly to change the position of shop furniture and sales products quickly and easily. Once locked, the brake lever provides continuous contact with the ground to ensure that the castor does not move a millimetre from its position. This makes the TENTE castor a reliable and stable product that provides a secure and stable base.

Why do castors with low overall height show lower capacities?
Castors with a low overall height have a lower capacity than castors with a higher overall height due to their design. This is because low-height castors also have a smaller diameter. A smaller diameter results in a smaller contact area between the castor and the floor, which leads to a higher impact on the floor and the castor. This can lead to a reduction in load capacity.
What factors should you consider when choosing castors?
Choosing the right castor depends on several factors, such as the type of application, the load to be moved and the type of floor on which the castor will be used. Important factors to consider when choosing the right castor are load capacity, diameter, floor condition, type of application, environment and fixing. If you are unsure about which castor type or model is best, feel free to consult an expert to help you choose the right castor.
