WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CASTORS AND WHEELS? 

Castor
Wheel

Castors and wheels are both round, cylindrical objects that are used to support and move heavy objects. The main difference between castors and wheels is that castors can rotate in all directions, while wheels can only rotate forwards or backwards. This allows castors to be more manoeuvrable than wheels.

Castors are also generally smaller than wheels and have a lower load-bearing capacity. Both castors and wheels are manufactured by a variety of companies, and the specific characteristics of each product will vary depending on the manufacturer. When choosing either a wheel or a castor, it is important to consider the intended use and select a product that will meet the specific needs of the application.
