Jacking Castors

Effortless Mobility for Static Equipment

Jacking castors provide a simple, effective way to make heavy or static equipment mobile only when needed. Using a built-in lifting mechanism, they raise the equipment onto wheels for easy movement, then retract to let it sit securely on its own feet during normal operation.

How Jacking Castors Work

A lever, screw or hydraulic mechanism raises the castor, lifting the equipment slightly off the ground onto the wheel. Once repositioned, the castor is retracted, lowering the equipment back onto stable feet or a fixed base.

Benefits Over Fixed Castors

Unlike equipment permanently mounted on castors, jacking castors allow machinery to remain completely stable during use, only becoming mobile when required, which improves precision and safety for sensitive or heavy equipment.

Common Applications

Jacking castors are widely used on machine tools, workbenches, cabinets and other equipment that needs to be repositioned occasionally but must otherwise remain rigid and stable during use.

Choosing the Right Jacking Castor

Consider the weight of your equipment, the lifting mechanism type and how frequently the equipment needs to move. Our team can help you select jacking castors suited to your specific application.

Improving Workshop Flexibility

Fitting jacking castors to static equipment gives facilities greater flexibility to reconfigure workshop layouts without the cost or disruption of lifting equipment or forklifts, making it easier to adapt spaces as production needs change over time.

Working with Our Team

Choosing the right jacking castor often comes down to the specifics of your equipment, including its weight distribution and how frequently it needs to move. Our team can talk through your requirements and recommend a lifting mechanism and load rating suited to your exact application.
