You want a 100 mm wheel, a brake you can reach, and one load figure. The DSL 100 mm four-brake set is the top pick at about £19.96, with a 700 kg line and a 135 mm overall height. The star line is shared with the two-brake sibling.
Heavy duty castors comparison 2026
The best heavy duty castors, compared.
Top pick: DSL 100 mm, four brakes – 100 mm wheels, a model line that says four brakes, one 700 kg line and 4.7 from 2,360 reviews, at about £19.96. Best value: DSL 100 mm, two brakes – The same 100 mm and 700 kg listing as the four-brake set, at about £18.49, which is £1.47 less, with two brakes. Updated October 2026.
Heavy duty castors on amazon.co.uk are usually a set of four plate-mount wheels for a bench, a trolley, a cabinet or a planter, not one industrial castor from a trade catalogue. You judge a listing by whether the per-castor load matches the set figure, whether the brake holds the swivel as well as the wheel, and whether the diameter and the tread suit the floor. None of them names BS EN 12528, BS EN 12530 or BS EN 12532. UK suppliers use a one-third rule of thumb: each castor should carry about a third of the loaded weight, because one wheel can lift. A spring gate wheel is a different purchase. If you need a flat bed rather than wheels under a bench, look at a [platform truck](/hub/lifting-equipment/platform-truck). Diameter, brake, tread and a defensible load, without this price table, are set out in the [heavy duty castors buying guide](/hub/lifting-equipment/heavy-duty-castors/sub/heavy-duty-castors-buying-guide).

The best heavy duty castors in detail
Our view
The DSL 100 mm four-brake set is four plate castors at £19.96, and the model line says “4 x brakes”. The listing prints one figure, 700 kg, with no separate per-castor kilogram. Overall height is 135 mm, the plate is 92 mm by 63 mm, and the bullet lists 16 sets of 8 mm by 30 mm bolts. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.7 from 2,360, the same line and the same opening review texts as the two-brake sibling, so those counts are not two independent tests. Some reviewers describe a two-brake pack, and one says the lever sits close to the plate. The material field says rubber. In this capture it is the top pick when you want 100 mm wheels and a brake on every corner, provided you accept the shared review file.
Pros
- 100 mm wheels, model line says 4 brakes
- One load line: 700 kg for the set
- 135 mm overall height and 8 mm bolts stated
- 4.7 from 2,360 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- No separate per-castor kilogram
- Star line and opening reviews match the two-brake ASIN
- A review says the lever sits close to the plate
- Material field says rubber, with no polyurethane line on the listing
Best for: You want 100 mm castors and a brake on all four corners of a bench or trolley.
Less suitable: You need a proved per-castor rating, or a review file that is only about the four-brake pack.

Common questions
How many castors have a brake?
The model number says 4 x brakes. The sibling listing B01N6F7CTX says 2 x brakes and 2 x standards.
What load is printed?
The bullet says 700 kg. The listing does not give a separate per-castor kilogram.
Are the reviews only for this brake count?
The star line is 4.7 from 2,360, the same line as B01N6F7CTX, and the first 50 review texts match that file. Some reviewers describe a two-brake pack.
Our view
The DSL 100 mm two-brake set is the sibling pack at £18.49, and the model line says “2 x brakes & 2 x standards”. It states the same 700 kg, the same 135 mm overall height, the same 92 mm by 63 mm plate and the same 8 mm by 30 mm bolts as the four-brake listing. The amazon.co.uk line is again 4.7 from 2,360, with the same opening review texts, so you should not add the two counts. Two unlocked corners will still let a bench yaw if you only lock the wheels you can reach. The material field says rubber. It is the best value in this set when you want the 100 mm DSL size and can live with two brakes, and the wrong pack if every corner has to lock.
Pros
- £18.49 for the 100 mm size and a 700 kg set line
- 135 mm height, 92 mm by 63 mm plate, 8 mm bolts
- 4.7 from 2,360 amazon.co.uk reviews
- £1.47 less than the four-brake sibling
Cons
- Only two castors have a brake
- Review texts are shared with the four-brake ASIN
- No separate per-castor kilogram
- Material field says rubber
Best for: You want the 100 mm DSL size and two brakes are enough for how you park it.
Less suitable: The bench must not swing while you work, so you need a lock on every corner.

Common questions
How is this pack different from B01DO27DE6?
This model number says 2 x brakes and 2 x standards, at £18.49. B01DO27DE6 says 4 x brakes, at £19.96. Both state 700 kg, 100 mm and the same plate size.
What is the overall height?
The bullet says 135 mm, with a 100 mm wheel and a 92 mm by 63 mm plate.
Is the 2,360 review count separate?
The listing shows the same 4.7 from 2,360 line, and the same first 50 UK review texts, as B01DO27DE6.
Our view
The HOLKIE set is four 50 mm twin-wheel castors at £13.99, with a TPR tread and 4.7 from 623 reviews. The title says two with brakes and two without, and the bullet says the lock holds the wheel and the swivel plate. The title and the specification both say 400 kg, which is rarer agreement than the listings that print two capacities. The bullet also says the wheel is 50 mm wide and 72.8 mm high, so treat 72.8 mm as the height line rather than a second diameter. Screw sizes are not stated, though reviews say screws were included and that pilot holes were needed. It is a furniture twin-wheel at a modest price, and the wrong diameter if you are pushing a bench over a threshold.
Pros
- Title and specification both say 400 kg
- 4.7 from 623 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Twin wheel with a stated total lock on two castors
- £13.99, with 72.8 mm height in the bullet
Cons
- 50 mm twin wheel, not a 100 mm single wheel
- Only two of four have a brake
- Screw sizes are not stated
- No per-castor kilogram beside the 400 kg total
Best for: You want a low twin-wheel furniture set and 400 kg as a total is the figure you will use.
Less suitable: You are fitting a workbench that has to cross a step.

Our view
The MSH&HCE pack is four 100 mm plate castors at £27.99, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.7 from 544 reviews. A bullet says each castor supports up to 600 lb and the set 2400 lb or more, while the specification load capacity says 150 pounds, so the larger number is not a rating you can order against. The same bullet says the brake controls wheel movement and swivel rotation, and a UK review says the levers stick out and lock both. The material field says metal and the bullets say polyurethane. Reviews mention wood and metal fixings, yet the included-components field only says Metal, and overall height is not stated. It stays in the table because the diameter and the star line are in the heavy end of this group, and you should leave it if you need one load figure.
Pros
- Set of four 100 mm plate castors at £27.99
- 4.7 from 544 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Bullet describes a brake on the wheel and the swivel
- Double ball bearings named in the bullet
Cons
- Bullet says 600 lb each; specification says 150 pounds
- Material field says metal; bullets say polyurethane
- Overall height is not stated
- Fixings are not a sized contents line
Best for: You want a 100 mm four-swivel set and will check both load lines before you drill.
Less suitable: You need a single load figure, or a stated overall height under a bench.

Common questions

The bullet says each castor supports up to 600 lb and the set 2400 lb or more. The specification load capacity says 150 pounds. Both lines are on the listing.
What does the brake claim cover?
The bullet says the brake controls wheel movement and swivel rotation. A UK review says the levers stick out and lock both.
Does the listing say they are for outdoor use?
The listing asks the question and does not answer it. The bullet names hardwood, tile, epoxy and concrete.
Our view
The DSL 75 mm set is four polyurethane plate castors at £11.99, with 4.6 from 3,938 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullet says 90 kg each and the specification says 360 kg, so the per-castor line times four matches the set figure. The bullet gives an overall length of 100 mm, a 75 mm wheel and a 65 mm by 65 mm plate, with 16 sets of 6 mm by 30 mm bolts. A UK review reads that 100 mm as the overall height. The title says brake and does not count them; reviews say two locks. The bullet says the tread leaves no marks, and one UK review says the wheels marked the floor under an oak-top table. It is the step between the 50 mm cabinet set and the 100 mm bench sets, and it is still light if your gross weight needs the one-third rule at 150 kg each.
Pros
- 75 mm polyurethane at £11.99
- 90 kg each matches the 360 kg specification
- 4.6 from 3,938 amazon.co.uk reviews
- 100 mm overall length, 65 mm plate and 6 mm bolts stated
Cons
- Reviews say two locks, and the bullet does not count brakes
- A UK review reports marks on a floor under an oak top
- 90 kg each is below a 150 kg one-third example
- Not a 100 mm wheel
Best for: You want a mid-height cabinet or planter wheel with a load line that agrees with itself.
Less suitable: You need four brakes, a mark-free guarantee, or a bench in the 100 mm class.

Common questions

The bullet says 90 kg each. The specification says 360 kg.
How tall is the castor?
The bullet says overall length 100 mm, wheel diameter 75 mm, plate 65 mm by 65 mm. A UK review says that 100 mm is the overall height.
Does the listing say the wheels will not mark a floor?
The bullet says their smoothness allows no marks on the floor. One UK review says they marked the floor under an oak-top table.
Our view
The DSL 50 mm set is four plate castors at £8.99, the lowest price here, with 4.6 from 3,927 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullet says 50 kg each and the specification says 200 kg, so four times the per-castor line matches the set figure. Overall height is 71 mm, the plate is 50 mm by 50 mm, and the pack states 16 screws at 6 mm by 27 mm. The title says braked and does not say four; UK reviews say two of the four have a lock, and one buyer bought a second set to get four brakes. The bullet says polyurethane while the title says rubbered. It suits a light cabinet or planter where 71 mm of extra height is acceptable, and it is the wrong load story for a steel bench you work on.
Pros
- £8.99, lowest price in this comparison
- 4.6 from 3,927 amazon.co.uk reviews
- 50 kg each matches the 200 kg specification
- 71 mm overall height and 6 mm screws are stated
Cons
- UK reviews say only two of four lock
- 50 mm wheel and 50 kg each
- Title says rubbered; bullet says polyurethane
- One buyer ordered a second set for four brakes
Best for: You are moving a light cabinet or planter and 71 mm of height is acceptable.
Less suitable: You need a brake on every corner, or a 100 mm wheel under a bench.

Our view
The WEIBIDA 5 inch polyurethane set is four plate castors at £32.99, and the model line reads “5 inch (4 brakes)”. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 3,229 reviews, the largest count on a WEIBIDA row in this comparison. The bullet says the set holds up to 1400 lb, and the specification field prints 6.3E+2 kg, so both lines stay on the card. The material field says polyurethane and the listing calls the tread non-marking. The contents line says Casters. One UK review says bolts were supplied and the holes were too large for screws; another says screws were included. Overall height is not stated. It is the large polyurethane option when you want a brake on each corner, and a weak choice if you need the hole pattern printed before you drill.
Pros
- 5 inch polyurethane, model line says 4 brakes
- 4.6 from 3,229 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Material field says polyurethane
- Double ball seal bearing named on the listing
Cons
- Bullet says 1400 lb; specification prints 6.3E+2 kg
- Overall height is not stated
- UK reviews disagree on whether the pack has bolts or screws
- Hole sizes are not in the specification
Best for: You want a 5 inch polyurethane set with a brake claimed on all four.
Less suitable: You need one load unit, or the bolt diameter printed before you buy timber screws.

Common questions

What load is printed?
The bullet says the set holds up to 1400 lb. The specification field is 6.3E+2 kg.
Are screws in the pack?
The contents line says Casters. One UK review says bolts, and that the holes were too large for screws. Another review says screws were included.
Our view
The WEIBIDA 2 inch nylon set is four plate castors at £39.99, model number 50 mm, with 4.6 from 1,003 reviews. The bullet says all four have a brake that locks the wheel when you press it down, and it does not say the swivel race locks. Load lines disagree: the bullet says up to 2200 lb, the load-capacity field says 1E+3 kg, and a separate caster weight capacity says 250 kg. The bullet gives a 38 mm tread width and the listing recommends firm, flat surfaces. One review reports smashed packaging with about four bolts and three nuts, and bolts too short for 15 mm timber. You pay near the top of the mid band for a 50 mm nylon wheel, so keep it only if nylon on a hard floor is the point.
Pros
- All four have a brake that locks the wheel
- 4.6 from 1,003 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Nylon tread, 38 mm wide in the bullet
- Double ball bearings named on the listing
Cons
- Three load figures: 2200 lb, 1E+3 kg and 250 kg
- £39.99 for a 50 mm wheel
- A review reports short bolts and missing nuts
- The bullet does not say the swivel race locks
Best for: You want a low nylon wheel on a firm, flat floor and you will pick one load line yourself.
Less suitable: You need a single capacity, or a 100 mm wheel for a threshold.

The listing asks and does not answer.
Our view
The WEIBIDA levelling set is four retractable castors at £46.99, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 820 reviews. You turn a handle so a rubber foot takes the load instead of the nylon wheel, and the stated height only runs from 8 cm to 9 cm. The bullet says 2200 lb / 1000 kg and the specification says 997.9 kg, which is a small gap rather than two different products. Wheel diameter in millimetres is not given; wheel width is listed as 2 inches. The contents line says Caster, so this is not a sized bolt pack. A review on a fish tank says the roll sloshed the water, and one ratchet went sticky. Use it when a low unit must sit on a foot, and skip it if you need a 100 mm rolling height or a pedal you can toe.
Pros
- Rubber foot takes the load off the nylon wheel
- 4.6 from 820 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Bullet 1000 kg and specification 997.9 kg are close
- Height band is stated: 8 cm to 9 cm
Cons
- Only 10 mm of height adjustment
- Wheel diameter in millimetres is not stated
- Contents line does not list sized fixings
- A review reports a sticky ratchet and water movement while rolling
Best for: You want a low cabinet or tank to roll, then sit on a rubber foot.
Less suitable: You need more than 9 cm of height, or a bench brake you can reach with your toe.

Common questions
How does the levelling foot work?

What load is printed?
The title and bullet say 1000 kg, also written as 2200 lb. The specification says 997.9 kg.
What is the wheel diameter?
The listing asks and the bullets do not give a millimetre diameter. Wheel width is listed as 2 inches.
Our view
The WEIBIDA solid-rubber set is four castors at £65.99, the highest price in this comparison, with 4.5 from 141 reviews. The title says 5 inch and the model field says 125MM. The layout is two swivel and two fixed with brakes, with M8 bolts and nuts in the bullet, which is a tracking pattern rather than four steering wheels. The bullet says up to 1100 lb and the specification says 500 kg; 1100 lb is about 500 kg, so those two lines roughly agree. The bullet says the rubber is solid and needs no inflation. A UK review says a full timber cart was only just mobile. At this money you are paying for a two-plus-two rubber layout, and you should skip it if four swivels or a lower shelf price matter more than the tread.
Pros
- Two swivel and two fixed with brakes
- Solid rubber, no inflation stated
- M8 bolts and nuts named in the bullet
- 1100 lb bullet and 500 kg specification are close
Cons
- £65.99, the dearest set here
- 4.5 from 141 reviews, a smaller file than the DSL sets
- A UK review says a loaded timber cart was only just mobile
- Not four braked swivels
Best for: You want a trolley that tracks, with two fixed castors and solid rubber.
Less suitable: You need to spin a bench in a tight workshop, or you want a set under £20.

Our view
The ZOGPLG listing is one 4 inch spring-loaded gate wheel at £18.99, not a set of four. The bullet states 100 kg, a spring extension of up to 44 mm, a TPR tread and three 90 mm M8 bolts with nuts and washers. The amazon.co.uk line is 3.8 from 7 reviews, which is too small a file to treat as a test. The listing says to press the spring in while fitting, or the wheel can hold the gate up, and one UK review says the wheel lifted the gate on the hinge. There is a brake on that single wheel. Buy it only for a gate at a low point in the ground, and do not fit it under a bench.
Pros
- One spring gate wheel with three M8 bolts in the bullet
- 100 kg and 44 mm of spring stated
- TPR tread and a brake on the single wheel
- £18.99
Cons
- One wheel, not a plate set for a bench
- 3.8 from only 7 reviews
- A review says the wheel lifted the gate
- The spring must be compressed as you fit it
Best for: You are supporting a gate and the ground drops where the wheel will run.
Less suitable: You are putting wheels under a cabinet, a trolley or a workbench.

The TXMXT listing is four 5 inch black wheels at £29.99, described as foldable table-corner wheels, with a stated set load of 1100 lb. The bullet says two of the four have a brake and that all four can rotate 360 degrees. There is no material field, no overall height and no customer-review line in the listing, so this row scores 0. Fixings are not stated. At £29.99 it sits beside sets that do publish a star line and a plate size. Leave it off a shortlist until amazon.co.uk shows reviews and a tread you can match to the floor.
Pros
- 5 inch wheels, set of four, at £29.99

How we compared
Scores use the twelve amazon.co.uk listings kept here. Shelf prices, stars, load lines and review notes were captured on 19 October 2026. This is not a lab test, and none of the twelve pages names BS EN 12532, BS EN 12528 or BS EN 12530. The weights below sum to 100. The highest score is shared, and the top pick is the one 100 mm set whose model line says four brakes.
1
Amazon line
35%Stars and review count on amazon.co.uk for that ASIN. A large count can outweigh a small gap in stars. A count under 10 cannot carry the block. The two DSL 100 mm listings share 4.7 from 2,360, so that block is not counted twice.
2
Specification you can order
30%A per-castor figure that matches the set line, a stated diameter, a brake count, a tread and a plate or bolt size. Points come off when a bullet and a specification print different loads, or when three capacities sit on one page.
3
Review notes
20%UK texts that describe a lock, a mark, a short bolt or a wheel that lifts. Repeated clashes between the pack and the hole come off. Notes from other Amazon marketplaces are not treated as British opinion.
4
Shelf price
15%The GBP figure on amazon.co.uk. The cheapest listing can lead this block and still miss the best-value badge when the wheel is 50 mm and reviews say only two locks.

Heavy duty castors buying guide
Match the load lines first, then the brake, then the diameter and the tread. A four-pack for a bench and a single spring wheel for a gate are not the same purchase.
What to check on a heavy duty castor set
On amazon.co.uk, heavy duty castors usually means a set of four plate-mount wheels for a bench, a trolley, a cabinet or a planter, not one industrial castor from a trade catalogue. The twelve sets here cost about £8.99 to about £65.99, captured on 19 October 2026, and none names BS EN 12528, BS EN 12530 or BS EN 12532.
Best for
- A workshop bench that needs a 100 mm wheel and a lock you can reach
- A light cabinet or planter where a 50 mm or 75 mm wheel, and the extra height, will fit
Not ideal for
- A workplace that needs a castor marked to BS EN 12532 or BS EN 12530
- Anyone standing on the load, or moving a vehicle
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Dividing the weight by four
With four castors, UK suppliers use about one third of the gross weight per wheel, because one wheel can lift. A quarter share assumes all four stay planted.
- 2
Four swivels on a tracking trolley
Four swivels suit a bench you turn in a tight space. A trolley that must run straight wants two fixed castors and two swivel castors, as on the WEIBIDA solid-rubber set.
- 3
Leaving a gate spring uncompressed
The ZOGPLG listing says to press the spring in while fitting, or the wheel can hold the gate up. One UK review says the wheel lifted the gate on the hinge. The stated load is 100 kg, not the whole gate.
What to weigh up
A load you can order
HighReconcile the load lines before you treat a kilogram as a rating you can order. Prefer a per-castor figure that, times four, equals the set figure. The DSL 50 mm listing says 50 kg each and the specification says 200 kg. The DSL 75 mm listing says 90 kg each and the specification says 360 kg. The two DSL 100 mm packs print one figure, 700 kg, and do not give a separate per-castor kilogram. If a bullet and a specification disagree, keep both.
Brake, diameter and tread
HighA total lock holds the wheel and the swivel. Two with brakes only locks two corners. A wheel-only brake still lets the head swing, so a bench can yaw. The DSL 100 mm top pick says four brakes, at about £19.96, with a 135 mm overall height. UK reviews on the DSL 50 mm and 75 mm sets say two locks. Four swivels suit a bench you turn in a tight space. Two fixed and two swivel suit a trolley that must run straight. Diameter follows the floor.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Home user
You want a 50 mm or 75 mm set and you should check overall height before it lifts a cabinet. The DSL 75 mm set is about £11.99, with 90 kg each matching a 360 kg specification, and reviews say two locks. A UK review reports floor marks.
Gate owner
You want one spring wheel where the ground drops, not four plate castors under a bench. The ZOGPLG gate wheel is about £18.99, stated at 100 kg, with up to 44 mm of spring. Press the spring in as you fit it. The review file is only seven people.
Common questions about heavy duty castors
Which heavy duty castors are the top pick?
The top pick is the DSL 100 mm four-brake set (B01DO27DE6) at about £19.96. It scores 94, tied with three other listings, and takes the award on a 100 mm wheel, a model line that says four brakes, and one 700 kg figure. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 2,360 reviews, the same star line and opening texts as the two-brake sibling, so those counts are not two tests. Skip it if you need a separate per-castor kilogram.
Which set is best value?
Best value is the DSL 100 mm two-brake set (B01N6F7CTX) at about £18.49. It states the same 700 kg, 135 mm height and plate as the four-brake pack, and it costs £1.47 less. Two corners stay unlocked, so a bench can still yaw. The £8.99 DSL 50 mm set leads on price and does not take this badge: the wheel is 50 mm and reviews say only two locks. The star line is shared with the four-brake listing.
How should you read two load figures on one listing?
Prefer a per-castor figure that, times four, equals the set figure. The DSL 50 mm set says 50 kg each and 200 kg. The DSL 75 mm set says 90 kg each and 360 kg. If the bullet and the specification disagree, quote both. The MSH&HCE bullet says 600 lb each and the specification says 150 pounds. Do not keep the larger number. Two load numbers on one page are a description problem under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
How many brakes does a bench need?
A total lock holds the wheel and the swivel. Two with brakes only locks two corners. A wheel-only brake still lets the head swing, so a bench can yaw. The top pick says four brakes. The best-value sibling says two brakes and two plain castors. UK reviews on the DSL 50 mm and 75 mm sets say two locks. Four swivels suit a bench you turn in a tight space.
What wheel diameter suits a step or a low cabinet?
Choose diameter for the floor. HSE notes that a small step typically takes about 20 percent more force with a 100 mm wheel than with a 125 mm wheel. DSL states overall heights of 71 mm, 100 mm and 135 mm for its 50 mm, 75 mm and 100 mm wheels, and that height lifts the bench. A 50 mm twin such as HOLKIE is a furniture wheel. The WEIBIDA levelling set only adjusts from 8 cm to 9 cm.
Should you choose polyurethane or rubber?
Polyurethane is the usual compromise. Nylon rolls easily and can scar a floor. Rubber grips and cushions but pushes harder, and black rubber can mark. If the title says rubber and the material field says polyurethane, keep both words. The DSL 50 mm title says rubbered and the bullet says polyurethane. Do not say polyurethane never marks a floor: a UK review on the 75 mm set reports marks. Tread choices are set out in polyurethane or rubber castors.
How much do these heavy duty castors cost?
On these amazon.co.uk listings, captured on 19 October 2026, prices run from about £8.99 to about £65.99. The DSL 50 mm set is £8.99, the DSL 75 mm set is £11.99 and the HOLKIE twin is £13.99. The two DSL 100 mm packs are £18.49 and £19.96. The dearest set here is the WEIBIDA solid rubber at £65.99. Trade catalogues price per castor, which is a different market. These shelf prices can move.
Do these listings meet a British castor standard?
None of these twelve listings names BS EN 12532, BS EN 12528 or BS EN 12530. BS EN 12532:1999 covers industrial castors up to 1.1 m/s and excludes furniture. BS EN 12528:1999 covers furniture castors, around 10 kg to 40 kg, excluding swivel chairs. BS EN 12530:1999 covers manually propelled institutional use. Do not claim any set here is tested to those standards. HSE says wheels must suit the floor and brakes must work.
Our verdict
The top pick is the DSL 100 mm four-brake set at about £19.96. It scores 94, shared with three other listings, and takes the award on a 100 mm wheel, a model line that says four brakes, and one 700 kg line. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 2,360 reviews, the same star line as the two-brake sibling, so those counts are not two tests. Best value is that sibling at about £18.49. The £8.99 DSL 50 mm set leads the price column and does not take the badge. Skip the four-brake pack if you need a separate per-castor kilogram. Skip the two-brake pack if every corner has to lock.
