For an office safety program to be effective, few things are the basic & what would be more important to the work place then the office chair.
CASTOR WHEELS, those are incorrect for the floor surface can pose the risk of serious injury. Even brand new chairs can cause problems as they are routinely equipped with hard wheel castors suitable for carpeted floors only. For chairs to roll safely, use hard wheels on carpeted floors, and soft wheels on chairmats and hard floor surfaces. Protect yourself and your company against any fatal accident by equipping your office chairs with quality, REGAL CASTORS.
As the industry’s leading manufacturer & exporter of Furniture Castors for over quarter century, REGAL CASTORS provides the solution for every type of Castor safety problem.
Employers cannot afford to neglect any aspect of seating safety. They should never let worn or damaged castors remain in use. Nor should they take caster safety for granted when buying new chairs which are usually supplied with hard wheel casters. The threat to worker health is too immense & the cost of potential damages is too high. The recent rise in “chair accident” makes this clear.
In adapting safety features to new chairs or retrofitting existing chairs, the corporate decision maker must focus on Castors – the truly “pivotal” safety component. It is the misuse of Castor wheels and the use of flawed or worn Castors that are the primary source of serious chair accidents.
Just as tires must have the proper tread for safe driving performance on dry pavement as well as slick or snow-covered roadways, chair movement depends on wheels that provide appropriate traction on hard or soft surfaces.
To custom-fit your chair for safety, you need REGAL CASTORS featuring our exclusive line of hard and soft Castor Wheels. We let you choose the Castors that are the safest for specific types of surfaces, from vinyl, linoleum and hardwood floors or plastic chair mats to industrial-grade or plush carpeting.
Hard floor surfaces require soft wheel Castors. If not, then the Chair will be subject to dangerously rapid movement & will spin out of control while the user is seated, or the Chair will roll away when the user rises & then tries to resume a seat.
In addition, injury due to falling is an obvious risk. A more insidious problem is the muscle strain that can result from constant efforts to keep the chair in place. The requirement for carpeted floor surfaces is just the opposite. Hard wheel Castors are necessary for the chair to glide smoothly across the floor. If, instead, the caster grips the carpeting and the user tugs back and forth to move the chair, it can topple over. Even if this hazard is avoided, such a constant exertion can result in strain and injury.
REGAL CASTORS products have been ergonomically designed to eradicate such risks to ones health and safety. Built for quality and durability, REGAL CASTORS are safety essentials. So, the question is not that you need REGAL CASTORS for safety, but which Castors you need.
Important: Replace all Castors at the same time, for uniform Castor wear and balanced safe rolling. There are several Castor models to choose from. All comes with choice of different Stems (Mountings) types for compatibility.

Since ages it has been observed the necessity has given birth to invention and it is this very necessity of man that has brought several new inventions into this world. Most of these inventions were done to reduce the manual work that required whole lot of effort in order to be carried out. To reduce the manual effort while doing several regular activities, several products and commodities were invented that really eased our life to a great extent. Castor is one such invention that has allowed the easy mobility of the heavy objects. Today while performing several daily activities we notice that we are able to perform the task with great deal of ease due to the castor attached to it. Castors are small wheel, which are placed beneath objects like furniture, chair and home appliances like refrigerators, washing machine, coolers, and TV trolleys to increase their mobility.
Castors attached to furniture and other object not only proves helpful in easy moving of these objects but it also simplifies and eases the tasks. Without castors attached to these objects it will be extremely difficult to move these objects from one place to another. Therefore, every object that are designed and manufactured today is made with castors attached to it. Due to the excessive use of the castor across different areas, manufacturers have come out with different type and designs of castors that are made to cater the basic mobility requirements of the stuff. Castors are made from different material like Polyurethane, Nylon, Aluminium, Stainless Steel, which are chosen according to the products in which it has to be attached. The other basic things that need to be considered is the diameter of the wheel, the larger is the wheel diameter, less resistance would be faced by the castors, thereby requiring less effort to move the stuff around.
Gone are the days when castors usages were just restricted to furniture and other heavy utility products, today castors are being excessively used across industry verticals. This simple and small invention has just proved its significance in carrying out some mundane and difficult tasks.
The nominal diameter of the outside of the wheel, this typically describes the basic size of the Castor (i.e. a 2” wheel diameter caster is typically referred to as a 2” Castor).
The distance from the center of the fastening to the outer most point of the Castor. This specifies the minimum clearance required for a mounted Castor to swivel a full 360 degrees.
The vertical distance between the bottom of the wheel and the mounting point of the unit.
The load on a Castor is designed to carry on a continuous basis. Load is assigned on a per Castor basis. To determine the load based on the number of Castors on a unit, divide the total weight by the number of castors. For Example: A Chair needs to support up to 250kgs and will use 5 casters. Castors, 250kg / 5
castors = 50kg load rating required per castor
Divide the load capacity needed by the number of Castors your product will be using. For example, your drawer unit will need to carry 100 kgs and will use 4 casters: 100kgs / 4 casters = 25kg load per caster would be sufficient for your unit.
The best and easiest way to improve movement is to choose the largest diameter wheel practical for your application. Wheel width must all be taken into consideration- are you going to move your product over large grating or large thresholds? Selecting a tread material should be based upon the environment your Castors will spend majority of their time on. Typically the harder the surface (tile, etc.), the softer the wheel you would want to use for protection. The softer the surface (thick carpet, etc), the harder the wheel you want to use for easy movements. To the right is a chart detailing which materials are recommended on particular flooring materials.
