Why choose Fallshaw castors?
 |
Australian made qualityProudly made in Australia, Fallshaw castors come with a three-year warranty, supporting local manufacturing and offering reliable performance. |
|
Enhanced durabilityFallshaw’s injection-moulded nylon pedals are engineered to withstand 5,000 braking cycles without failure, offering durability comparable to steel and ensuring long-lasting performance. |
|
Lightweight and strongNylon pedals are lighter than steel, reducing the overall weight of the road cases while maintaining strength and reliability. |
|
Reduced vibration and noiseFallshaw’s high-resilience blue rubber wheels absorb shock, reduce vibration, and protect equipment during transport. They also minimise noise on hard surfaces, ensuring quieter movement—ideal for noise-sensitive environments like live events or recording studios. |
|
|
Non-marking rubber wheelsThe high-resilience rubber used in these castor wheels is non-marking, ensuring that floors remain free from scuffs and damage—particularly beneficial on polished or delicate flooring. |
|
Smooth and reliable maneuverabilityWith swivel forks and high-resilience rubber wheels, these castors move smoothly and easily, even when fully loaded. They provide great control in tight or crowded spaces. |
|
Compliance with industry standardsFallshaw castors are tested to ISO 22881:2004 standards, ensuring they meet the safety and performance requirements for institutional applications. This guarantees their reliability under heavy loads and frequent use, making them ideal for road cases in high-stress environments. |
|
Corrosion protectionFallshaw castors feature a proprietary Core Coat™ lacquer on the fork, offering corrosion protection with zero white or red rust after 150 hours of salt spray testing. The durable nylon pedals are corrosion-resistant, making the castor suitable for use outdoor use, ensuring long-lasting performance. |
|
Cost-effectiveFallshaw castors, with high-resilience rubber wheels and durable nylon pedals, provide a cost-effective, long-lasting alternative to steel and low-grade rubber, reducing replacement needs. |
Reliable castors
High-quality castors are essential for navigating rough terrain, carpets, and polished floors, with durable brakes needed to withstand heavy use. Inferior castors can lead to product damage, operational delays, and user frustration.
Nylon pedals for durability
While steel has traditionally been preferred for brake pedals due to its perceived strength, recent tests demonstrate that Fallshaw’s nylon pedals offer comparable, if not superior, performance. They match steel in strength and durability while providing added benefits like corrosion resistance and reduced weight. A rigorous load test on Fallshaw’s JBR100/JZPTB (pictured right) castor further challenged the assumption that steel pedals are inherently stronger than nylon
Rigorous testing of the nylon pedal
Apply and release the brakes 5,000 times without failure.
| Test model: | Fallshaw castor JBR100/JZPTB. |
| Wheel: | 100mm diameter blue high-resilience rubber |
| Fork: | Swivel fork with total brake. |
| Pedal material: | Injection-moulded nylon. |
| Test standard: | AS1961.5-2004 (ISO 22881:2004) |
Key findings
|
High durability: The nylon pedal withstood 5,000 braking cycles without failure, while showing no signs of wear or malfunction—confirming brakes remain effective after extended use without significant degradation |
|
Industry compliance: The castor assembly met AS1961.5-2004 (ISO 22881:2004) standards, ensuring it performs well in high-intensity environments. |
|
Comparable to steel: Despite the industry preference for steel, nylon pedals proved equally durable, with added benefits like reduced weight and corrosion resistance. |
Conclusion
For road case manufacturers, nylon pedals offer a durable, lightweight, and cost-effective alternative to steel, providing long-lasting, reliable performance.
Backed by a three-year warranty and made in Australia, they ensure long-term dependability and local support.
