The British are famous for many things, such as our ability to queue, fish and chips, Big Ben, and of course, the weather.
Summers can move between blazing heat to spontaneous outpourings of rain within hours and in Winter waking to an unexpected two feet of snow has become almost the norm.
When facing this environmental rollercoaster, preparing equipment and machinery for outdoor use can be a real obstacle, one that can be overcome using stainless steel.
The Origins of Stainless Steel
Stainless steel started to see a rise in usage in pharmaceutical, food processing, and hospital equipment, stainless steel has also begun to gain popularity for hybrid applications used both indoors and outdoors.
Used on apparatus, which is used primarily outside, our stainless steel castors provide the ability to move equipment with ease without the risk of degradation over time due to water exposure.
These castors are also highly resistant to temperature variations, performing at a constant level regardless of whether it’s “like a sauna” or “a bit nippy out”.
The Right Material Makes a 'Wheel' Difference
When it comes to selecting the best wheels for requirements, various options are available with each type having its advantages. The main types within our stainless steel range are: rubber, nylon and polyurethane.
Our Stainless Steel Rubber castors are often seen on DIY projects such as debris containers, mobile flower pots, and carts. Additionally, rubber wheels do not rust, making them the ultimate choice for outdoor use in the British climate. Outdoor Stainless Steel Rubber Wheels are commonly used due to their excellent grip, shock absorption, and the ability to roll over a variety of surfaces – perfect for the afore hybrid indoor/outdoor equipment.
Stainless Steel Nylon Castors, these possess high strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. Suitable for use indoors and out on smooth to semi-rough surfaces, nylon wheels are also non-corrosive, an excellent choice for use in cleaning facilities where chemicals and abrasive liquids are likely to be encountered, such as mobile drum trolleys and buckets.
The Stainless Steel Polyurethane Castors are commonly seen in the food processing and industrial cleaning industries. Thanks to the chemical resistant and plain bore wheel construct, these stainless steel castors are perfect when in use around chemical and spillages.
Our stainless steel castors can be used for a variety of industries and applications that require durable and weather-resistant mobility solutions. Their strong and robust specifications with the resistance to rust, corrosion, moisture, and temperature fluctuations make these castors suitable for even the most demanding outdoor conditions characteristic of the British climate.
