Furniture casters that roll like they cost more.

The furniture caster is where specification discipline goes to die. A 75 mm wheel can hide a single loose-ball race or a proper double race; a stem can be a furniture-standard grip ring or a thread that fits nothing the buyer owns; the 'same' caster can differ by a factor of two in the load it survives. Because the unit price is small, buyers accept vagueness — and then eat the returns when chairs, cabinets and retail fixtures start shedding wheels. CASTOVELLA's furniture line applies the same locked-specification approach as our heavy duty line, scaled to light duty economics.

The lead product

The line is anchored on the 3 inch furniture PU swivel caster: a 75 mm polyurethane wheel — non-marking, quiet, kind to hard floors and carpet alike — on a double ball bearing swivel race, offered with and without a side brake. It serves office furniture, retail displays, institutional cabinets, light carts and equipment stands.

Mountings: the part that decides whether it fits

Stem dimensions are the number-one cause of furniture caster returns across the industry. If you are replacing or matching an existing socket standard, send the stem dimensions — or a sample — with the RFQ, and the quotation will lock the interface instead of approximating it.

A tariff footnote that actually favours this line

At exactly 75 mm diameter, this line sits inside the HTS 8302.20 definition of a castor (Chapter 83 Note 2 covers wheels up to 75 mm regardless of width) — one of the few caster lines where the heading buyers assume is the heading that applies. The rate stack for China-origin goods is the same as the rest of the range, as our tariff guide explains, but the classification itself is refreshingly unambiguous.

For furniture OEMs

Furniture manufacturers buy this line as a component: consistent stem interfaces across production runs, your packaging, and finish options matched to your furniture range. Tell us the furniture line the caster serves and the socket standard you build to, and the programme is specified around it — including brake and finish variants under one specification format.

The specification we lock before quoting

A quotation is only comparable when the specification underneath it is fixed. For this line — as for every CASTOVELLA line — the written quotation locks these six variables, and the production sample is checked against them before bulk production is approved:

• Wheel diameter and width — width is both a performance variable and the US tariff classification variable; it is measured on the sample, not copied from a catalogue.
• Tread material and hardness — stated as a Shore hardness range, so the bulk shipment can be checked against the approved sample.
• Bearing type — plain, roller or precision ball bearing, named on the quotation; bearing swaps are the most common silent downgrade in this industry.
• Fork and top plate thickness — measured in millimetres and stated, because fork flex is where cheap heavy duty casters fail first.
• Load capacity and test method — capacity per caster with the test convention named (EN 12532 / ANSI ICWM), never a bare number.
• Finish and hardware — zinc plating, stainless grade or coating stated per component, not per marketing photo.
