WDS self-levelling castors take the hassle out of machine installation

Standard machine tool component manufacturer WDS has a solution to the problem of installing and relocating large machine tools and other heavy duty workshop accessories requiring an accurate, totally level horizontal surface – self-levelling castors.

WDS castors allow the machine tool to be positioned accurately and easily. Once in position, a diecast footpad with a vibration damping rubber pad is dropped to the floor via a nut or handwheel, allowing the user to make fine adjustments to level the machine tool. Various castors are available with dimensions to fit most standard requirements. Where necessary, customised solutions can be offered. The castors feature a forged steel top plate and die cast body with a powder coated black finish. Wheels are black, as standard, although other colours are available. The range is capable of supporting static loads up to 1,800 kg and, depending on the required load strength, the height is adjusted using a spanner and nut or a finger-operated handwheel.
