There are 2 different castor patterns we can use with markedly different handling qualities. You can decide which option and configuration best suits your application.
Corner to Corner Castors
4 swivel castors on each corner, easy and obvious. Very manoeuvrable and easy to use in tight spaces. However, if you need to push them any great distance, then just like a full shopping trolley, they are hard to push in a straight line and around corners. 2 fixed and 2 swivel castors solves this problem, but with 2 fixed castors manoeuvrability in tight spaces is compromised.
Diamond Fitted Castors
The Castors are fitted in a diamond pattern. 2 fixed castors in the middle and a swivel castor at either end. This configuration allows the pallet box to rotate in it’s own foot print. The fixed castors mean it is more user-friendly when pushed in a straight line, however they also restrict the pallet box from being pushed sideways.
