The Complete Guide to Key Clamp Castor Wheels
When it comes to Creating mobile tubular frameworks, Desks, Garment Rails flexibility is key. While fixed installations provide permanent solutions, there are countless scenarios where mobility transforms a good solution into a great one. That's where Lockinex Key Clamp Castor Wheels come in—engineered to add professional-grade mobility to your tubular framework systems without compromising on strength or durability.

Why Add Castor Wheels to Your Key Clamp System?
Mobile tubular construction systems offer significant advantages across industrial, warehouse, and retail environments:
- Reconfigurable layouts – Adapt your workspace quickly to suit your operational needs.
- Temporary installations – Perfect for sites, events, or seasonal requirements.
- Easy repositioning – Move your framework for cleaning, maintenance, or access without disassembly.
- Space optimisation – Store frameworks efficiently when not in use.
- Cost efficiency – One mobile system can serve multiple locations.
Two Styles for Different Applications
Lockinex Key Clamp Castor Wheels are available in two distinct configurations, each designed for specific operational requirements:
Un-Braked Castor Wheels
Ideal for applications requiring frequent movement and repositioning. These free-rolling castors allow smooth mobility across warehouse floors, making them perfect for temporary items that need regular relocation or storage.
Braked Castor Wheels
When stability matters as much as mobility, braked castors deliver both. The integrated brake mechanism locks the wheel in place, providing a secure, fixed position once your framework is positioned. Essential for frameworks in active work zones or anywhere movement could create hazards.
Technical Specifications: Built for Real-World Loads
Lockinex castor wheels are engineered to match our standard tube diameters, ensuring seamless integration with your new or existing key clamp systems:
For 26.9mm and 33.7mm Tube Diameters
- Wheel diameter: 50mm
- Load capacity: 64kg per castor
- Applications: Light to medium-duty.
For 42.4mm and 48.3mm Tube Diameters
- Wheel diameter: 60mm
- Load capacity: 100kg per castor
- Applications: Heavy-duty
All castor wheels are available directly from stock, ensuring you can add mobility to your projects without delays.
Choosing the Right Castor Wheel Configuration
Selecting the optimal castor wheel depends on three key factors:
1. Tube Diameter Match the castor to your tube size. Lockinex castors accommodate all standard diameters: 26.9mm, 33.7mm, 42.4mm, and 48.3mm.
2. Load Requirements Calculate the total weight of your framework and what it will be expected to carry. Ensure adequate load capacity. Remember to account for any additional components or signage. For heavier installations, opt for the larger 42.4mm or 48.3mm options with 100kg capacity per castor.
3. Mobility vs. Stability
- Choose un-braked if you need frequent repositioning and smooth movement.
- Choose braked if your barrier must remain stationary during use but needs occasional relocation.
For maximum versatility, many customers use a combination—braked castors on two corners for stability, un-braked on the others for easier manoeuvring.
Real-World Applications
Warehouses & Work Stations Create mobile work stations. Reposition as warehouse layouts evolve.
Construction Sites Deploy temporary fencing that moves with your project phases. Braked castors ensure barriers stay put in active work zones.
Manufacturing Facilities Establish flexible work cells, manufacturing and assembly benches.
Retail Outlets Create Garment Rails with integrated shelving. Complete mobility, re-arrange your retail outlet at any time. High load capacity castors assist in displaying the heavy items.
Installation and Compatibility
Key Clamp Castor Wheels integrate seamlessly with the Lockinex key clamp system. Simply select the castor that matches your tube diameter, and it clamps securely to the base of your vertical posts. The robust construction ensures long-term reliability even under frequent movement and heavy loads.
Stock Availability and Pricing
All Lockinex Key Clamp Castor Wheels are available directly from stock in both braked and un-braked configurations.
Make Your Barrier Systems Work Harder
Mobility shouldn't mean compromising on safety or durability. Lockinex Key Clamp Castor Wheels deliver industrial-grade performance with the flexibility modern operations demand. Whether you're managing a warehouse, designing a retail outlet, or manufacturing facility, adding castor wheels to your project unlocks new levels of operational efficiency.

Wow! We have been adapting ordinary castor wheels to work with the Lockinex Key Clamps for year! Now these are going to make our life so much easier, and cost effective.
We have tried the 33.7mm type, and they work just great. Well done Lockinex- great products as usual.
