Public Infrastructure

For the use of pavement and turf stabilisation, stormwater management, drainage, landscape projects, cycleways, beach access areas as well as in public housing estates, GEOHEX™ is ideal for the retention of stormwater, stabilisation of turf, paver support and for the reduction of dusty and muddy areas.

Construction

With its unique design, GEOHEX™ is created to provide very strong ground reinforcement thanks to its open cell structure. In construction applications, GEOHEX™ can be combined with grass, gravel or a sand/soil mixture.

Rural

With its rigid design and a strong impact-resistant polymer construction, GEOHEX™ provides a cost-effective solution that prevents soft ground build up in heavy traffic livestock areas. GEOHEX™ promotes livestock flow and reduces the incidence of lameness around trough and standoff areas, approaches and exits to yards and many other high traffic livestock areas.

Mining, Civil & Earthworks

With the ability to withstand a maximum load of 1200 tonnes per square metre when filled with soil, GEOHEX™ can be used for the stabilisation of roads on mining, civil and earthworks sites as well as drainage stabilisation in hardstands, haul roads and equipment yards. GEOHEX™ can also be used in the stabilisation of mine site embankments, drains and airstrips.

How to Install Geohex

1. Prior mechanical compaction of the soil and/ or ground base is essential for the successful performance of GEOHEX™.
2. If the surface is prone to movement, it may be necessary to install extra sub-soil drainage to maintain the strength and integrity of the topsoil.
3. Additional drainage technology used may consist of coarse road base, agricultural piping, sand or a combination of all of these. Fine road base may lower or even prevent the absorption of water.
4. It is recommended that a sand bed be placed under GEOHEX™ to construct a perfectly flat surface under the soil layer to prevent rutting and subsidence due to vehicular or livestock movement.
5. The sand bed under GEOHEX™ requires moderate compacting to ensure proper topsoil levelling. GEOHEX™ can then be placed right on top of this layer.
6. The best infill for GEOHEX™ is an angular stone up to 10-15mm in size, which locks together better and restricts any further slope movement.
7. Other recommended infill products include topsoil, sand and fine gravel.
8. GEOHEX™ can be used with any type of turf configuration or variety. Areas that have had GEOHEX™ installed should be inspected regularly to determine if any damage or minor subsidence has occurred.

By increasing the effective structural integrity of soils, GEOHEX Erosion Control System creates a stiffened base layer that provides increased load support whilst preventing soil subsidence and soil erosion. GEOHEX Erosion Control System improves safety on the edge of roads, embankments, parking areas and many other medium to high traffic surfaces.

With a maximum load bearing capacity of 1200t/sqm* and made from recycled and recyclable interlocking polypropylene hexagonal cells, GEOHEX Erosion Control System is suitable for use in just about any type of ground and geological conditions.

With its unique patented open cell structure, GEOHEX Erosion Control System is designed to provide strong ground reinforcement and sediment control in all conditions. In construction applications, GEOHEX Erosion Control System can be combined with grass, gravel or a sand/soil mixture providing a complement to surrounding materials and other architecture such as the installation of plastic driveway grids.

Its rigid structure and strong polymer construction enables GEOHEX Erosion Control System to be used as a walking grid to provide a cost-effective solution to prevent soft ground build-up and mud control in heavy traffic livestock areas and shed flooring. By combining to make a walking grid, the GEOHEX Erosion Control System plastic panels promote livestock flow and help reduce the incidence of lameness around trough and standoff areas, approaches and exits to yards and many other high traffic and frequently-used livestock areas.

With a maximum load bearing capacity of 1200t/sqm* when filled with soil (or equivalent), the GEOHEX Erosion Control System can be used for ground stabilisation of roads on mining sites as well as drainage stabilisation in hardstands, haul roads and equipment yards. GEOHEX Erosion Control System can also be used in the stabilisation of mine site embankments, drains, driveways and airstrips.

In a country like Australia, silt fencing is a critical part of all construction and landscaping projects, especially excavation projects.

A typically dry climate means we increasingly rely on stormwater in urban and urban fringe areas for irrigation and industrial uses – even as a recreational resource for our many lakes and dams. Not to mention the storm water that ends up at our world class beaches. But what does storm water have to do with anything?

When it rains, the rain washes all sorts of things down stormwater drains (the drains on the city and suburban streets). The drains act as a carrier for a significant amount of pollution, collected from private properties, public places, and construction sites.

And while litter is the most visible form of pollution, other contaminants include various sediments and excess nutrients (eg. phosphates and nitrates), organic matter, oil, grease, and residual pesticides and fertilisers.

A silt fence helps to prevent soil, sediment, organic matter and more from entering our waterways and drains. It is used to protect stockpiles of dirt and other organic material from entering our waterways and drains. Building sites and roadworks are common places that would need silt fences on a regular basis.

A build-up of sediments and other contaminants could potentially block stormwater drains, damage aquatic habitats, and affect harbor channels – even create unsafe swimming conditions.

As we already know, a silt fence is incredibly affordable, but it is also highly effective at preventing all of this potential environmental damage. One thing is for sure, a silt fence is definitely cheaper than the costs associated with losing aquatic species and habitats, and unblocking storm water drains.

Simple tips on how to install a silt fence

Here’s a diagram that shows the correct installation of a silt fence:

Note: The wire mesh is not required with AdMerch’s silt fence, as it is made from super tough polypropylene. You may add wire mesh if you wish, as it will provide extra strength, useful if the silt fence will be in use for an extended period of time.

 

Here’s some great general tips for installing silt fences:

• Silt fences should be installed on a site as early as possible, ideally before excavation or other soil disturbance begins
• Install a silt fence down-slope from the construction area, always along the contour (curve) of the slope you are protecting – don’t install in straight lines
• Significant downward slopes should use the curved installation method – refer to the images below
• Stockpiles of soil and building materials must be contained by a silt fence
• Leave the silt fence in place until vegetation is established, or sediment is stabilised
• Silt fencing requires frequent inspections, particularly after each runoff event (storm, rainfall etc.), to check for damage or clogging of the fence by silt and debris
• Silt fences are best used for sites where the soil disturbance area is up to 0.5 of a hectare
• On larger projects including agricultural developments, silt fences can still be used – this J-hook model is most effective:

How To Choose The Best Castors In 9 Easy Steps

1. Calculate the load rating
2. Which wheel diameter do I need?
3. What types of castor wheels are available?
4. How does each type of castor wheel perform on various surfaces?
5. Do I choose swivel or rigid castors?
6. Do I need brakes?
7. Which fixing type do I need?
8. Which type of bearing is best?
9. Will you be using castors in a place where hygiene and health are important?

Before we start, a quick note for those who might be a bit confused on what the difference is between a wheel and a castor.

A wheel is simply that, a wheel and nothing else.

A castor consists of two major components – a wheel, and that is installed in a frame, which holds the wheel in place. The frame is often called a castor bracket, rig or fork. The frame is at the top of the castor, and is attached to your piece of equipment or other item. 

You can buy spare or replacement wheels for castors, as the wheel itself can wear out over time (depending on type of wheel), but the castor bracket can last much longer – if it is of high quality.

Or you can just buy spare or replacement castors (the wheel AND the frame it is attached to).

AdMerch have a comprehensive range of standard and heavy duty wheels and castors from Australia’s leading Castor Company.

Choosing a castor is a decision that should not be taken lightly. The wrong castor can do more than just break (potentially causing costly damage). The wrong type of castor can also cause significant damage to multiple floor surfaces, and provide inadequate control – causing damage to walls and other objects as a result of collisions.

But these costly mistakes can be easily avoided, thanks to these 9 critical things to consider before choosing a castor.

1. Calculate the load rating

{back to top}

The most important thing to consider – here’s the best and easiest way to do it.

• Calculate the maximum expected load you will be putting onto castors.
• Remember to include the load of the item itself (such as a trolley, cabinet, or machinery), as well as the maximum load your item is expected to carry.
• Add 20-30% of the load total, this is your safety margin. (load of 200kg now equals 240-260kg)
• Divide the total weight by the number of castors you will be using
• 260kg / 4 castors = 65kg per castor
• Finished!

2. Which wheel diameter do I need?

{back to top}

Ensure that the wheel is large enough to pass over cracks and obstructions.

As a rule of thumb, the larger the wheel, the easier it is to push and to pass over bumps and minimize vibration.

Even if the load capacity is the same on a smaller diameter castor wheel – ALWAYS choose the bigger diameter. Unless you are going to be using the castors with very light loads (under 100kg), then smaller castor wheels can be sufficient.

It won’t cost you much more to choose larger wheel diameters, and it guarantees safety and performance.

When it comes to castor wheels – size DOES matter.

3. What types of castor wheels are available?

{back to top}

Castor wheels come in a large variety of different materials, often a combination of multiple materials. This is to suit the wide variety of industry applications, surfaces, load capacities, and functions that are required.

Castor wheels made from different materials can have wide ranging load capacities. However it is more common to associate the castor wheel material with its suitability for different floor surfaces and applications.

AdMerch have their Castor Wheels categorised in a way that lets you target your required load capacity first, then you can choose the most suitable material construction.

Below are the most common types of castor wheels. If you do not see what you are looking for, just contact one of our knowledgeable staff for further information.

Most castors sold at AdMerch have a zinc plated finish on both styles of fixing, which provides a corrosion resistant finish. Look out for the ‘zinc plated’ in the product description.

Rubber Wheels

There are a few variations of rubber castor wheels, but they all have some common features:

• Non-marking (doesn’t leave marks on your floor)
• Shock absorbing
• Quiet
• Ideal for timber, vinyl, tiled, and concrete flooring

Rebound Rubber wheels are very quiet in operation, with a low rolling resistance. They are ideal for moving lightly loaded equipment over uneven ground. Rebound rubber rolls over small obstructions easily. Some application examples include waste bins, laundry trolleys, electrical equipment, and other “handle with care” goods.

Institutional Rubber wheels are grey rubber wheels. Features include sealed bearings and matching grey nylon thread guards for added protection. Sealed bearings eliminate any need for maintenance. Often used in hospitals, schools, home use, and light industrial environments.

AdMerch have a specific range of Medical Castors that have the comfort and safety of patients at the forefront of their design, and the safe and easy movement of equipment between rooms.

Anti-static (conductive) rubber wheels provide a surface resistivity of less than 10,000 Ω (OHMs) – conforming to Australian Standards (AS 2050 1978). Anti-static (conductive) caster wheels allow electricity to flow through the unit, eliminating static charges. This function is often required for use within industries such as computer or electronics manufacturing or general service.

Note: Anti-static (conductive) is superior to castor wheels that are just anti-static. Anti-static will help negate static electricity and prevent its build up, but conductive anti-static will eliminate it altogether.

Polyurethane Wheels

• Hard wearing
• Most well-rounded performer across all floor surfaces
• Longer tread life than rubber
• Quiet operation
• Low rolling resistance
• Non-marking
• Offers excellent floor protection on linoleum, tile, and carpet

Polyurethane castor wheels come in many colours and consist of either entirely polyurethane or a combination of a polyurethane outer with a centre of nylon, or metal such as aluminium or iron.

When the polyurethane castor wheel has a metal centre, it has anti-static (conductive) properties, eliminating static charges. This function is often required for use within industries such as computer or electronics manufacturing or general service.

Castor wheels made entirely of polyurethane can withstand water, oil, grease, chemicals, and most solvents. They are suitable for medical or food applications. They are also used on the outside layer of the toughest castor wheels with load capacities in excess of 10 tonnes!

Rebound Polyurethane castor wheels are a softer than normal tyre, which provides a smoother, quieter ride than most polyurethane or nylon wheels.   They will remain cleaner than other wheels, and combined with stainless steel bearings, these wheels are suitable for clean or wash down rooms and other applications where aesthetics and performance are crucial.

Nylon Wheels

Nylon castor wheel varieties share some common traits:

• Low rolling resistance
• Durable
• Non-marking
• Ideal for hard, smooth surfaces and outside/wet environments
• Also ideal for carpeted surfaces
• Often used in refrigerated areas

Glass Filled Nylon – Extreme Temperature Resistance

These wheels are made from a blend of nylon and glass fibres and are specifically designed to withstand high and low temperatures.

At AdMerch, our glass filled nylon wheels can comfortably endure temperatures between -30ᵒC and 240ᵒC. Cast iron and aluminium wheels offer higher temperature resistance, explained further below.

Glass filled nylon is resilient, gentle and quiet on most floor surfaces, resists hard impacts, and very durable and resistant to oils, greases and cleaning agents.

The addition of glass fibres to nylon also increases overall strength when compared to regular nylon.

Note: Glass filled nylon may cause some small marks and scratches on both softer and hard surfaces. Not recommended for surfaces intended to be on display to customers.  

Cast iron – Extreme Temperature Resistance

• Abrasion resistant – wheels are exceptionally long wearing
• Low rolling resistance
• Extreme heat resistance
• High load capacity
• Will damage or mark floors

Cast iron and spheroidal graphite iron castor wheels provide high load capacities and are easy to initiate movement.

Extreme temperature resistance between -30ᵒC and 300ᵒC – suitable for use in bakery ovens, smoke houses, chillers, and other applications where there is temperature fluctuation.

These castors are quite heavy and noisy, usually only found in heavy duty industrial environments.

Aluminium – Extreme Temperature Resistance

• The highest temperature resistance (on some models)
• Slightly lower weight capacity compared to cast iron
• Noiseless options
• Suitable for use in bakery ovens, smoke houses, chillers, and other applications where there is temperature fluctuation.

Aluminium castor wheels sold at AdMerch have the highest temperature resistance – a massive 400ᵒC! (Refer to each individual wheel for maximum temperate as temperature range varies between 280ᵒC and 400ᵒC).

The minimum temperature resistance is -30ᵒC. Aluminium castor wheels are usually specifically used when dealing with extreme temperatures.

Pneumatic Wheels

Pneumatic castor wheels are ideal for use on agricultural equipment, and for making sports equipment such as batting cages, nets and equipment trolleys more mobile on soft ground.

Pneumatic castor wheels sold at AdMerch have sealed bearings for increased water resistance and decreased rolling resistance. AdMerch also have puncture proof options.

4. How does each type of castor wheel perform on various surfaces?

{back to top}

I have created a handy table that can allow you to quickly get an idea of the types of castor wheels you should be looking for.

This table is an approximate guide only, always refer to individual product information before making a purchase.

Castor Wheel	Floor Surface
	Carpet	Vinyl	Tiled	Concrete	Asphalt	Gravel/Dirt
Rebound Rubber	Fair	Good	Fair	Good	Good	Good
Institutional Rubber	Fair	Good	Good	Fair	Fair	Poor
Glass Filled Nylon**	Poor	Poor	Poor	Good	Poor	Poor
Nylon	Good	Fair	Poor	Good	Poor	Poor
Cast Iron	Poor	Poor	Poor	Fair	Fair	Good
Polyurethane	Good	Good	Fair	Good	Good	Fair

**Refer to above notes (3. What types of castor wheels are available?) for further information.

Other important factors to consider when thinking floor surfaces:

• Harder wheels require less effort to start turning on smooth surfaces – think polyurethane and nylon
• For lower push effort over rough ground (asphalt, dirt), choose high resilience castor wheels such as rebound rubber or pneumatics
• Nylon or polyurethane castor wheels are more suitable for dirty floors as they resist dirt particles
• Domed-tyred wheels require less force to roll on carpeting, but will leave indentations if they are left stationary on carpets and softer surfaces
• Flat profiled castor wheels will spread the load and prevent damage to floors, even when moving heavier loads
• Rebound and institutional rubber is not recommended in corrosive environment. Polyurethane is very resistant and almost impervious to most solvents and chemicals.

5. Do I choose swivel or rigid castors?

{back to top}

Or perhaps more importantly, what is the difference between swivel and rigid castors?

It’s really simple.

A rigid caster, also known as a fixed caster, is a wheel mounted in a set of forks, that doesn’t turn. This means rigid casters can move forward and backward in a straight line, but they can’t be steered.

This does however make rigid castors easier to set in motion when attempting to move heavy loads.

Swivel castors rotate 360° and can respond immediately to changes in direction. These castors swivel on ball bearings to keep the wheel turning – even under heavy loads.

Loads on swivel casters can take more effort to set in motion than rigid casters, because it takes a push to get all the wheels pointed in the same direction before the cart or truck will roll.

Also, it can be very challenging for a cart or truck with only swivel casters to roll in a straight line, so an object with only swivel castors should only be safely used to travel short distances.

But there is obviously a way to get the best of both worlds – combining both rigid and swivel castors.

AdMerch have a fantastic guide complete with easy to understand diagrams, detailing different combinations of swivel and rigid castors, and how they are best combined to suit your needs.

6. Do I need brakes?

{back to top}

If you are planning on using castors on sloped or uneven surfaces, it may be a good idea to choose an option with a brake.

Swivel castors also have the option of a directional lock, to stop the castor from swivelling so that it can move in a straight line, or other required angle of direction.

7. Which fixing type do I need?

{back to top}

There are two main types of castor fixings.

Plate Type – the best supported fitting, as the plate can either be bolted or welded onto the product. Ideally suited to products with a flat, solid base – and heavier loads.

Bolt Type – Usually involves some kind of stem, ideal for fixing into tube, such as trolleys and display equipment. The stems come in a number of different optional varieties:

• Expanding pintles that expand to fit inside the required tube (AdMerch have options between 19mm and 28.5mm diameters
• Standard pintle bolt that will screw directly into a threaded hole – often available in different sizes (10mm, 18mm, 25mm etc.)
• Threaded tube end inserts are available in various sizes to fit most tubes, enabling easy installation of standard pintle bolts
• Grip necks and friction stems are used for very narrow tubes

8. Which type of bearing is best?

{back to top}

The most common bearing you will come across is the ball bearing. But there are other bearings which are ideal for specific applications, so they might more accurately meet your requirements.

Ball bearings are used in applications where heat can build up due to friction, because they have the lowest friction. This also means they are the easiest to get moving.

At AdMerch, precision deep groove ball bearings are fitted to most of our heavy duty wheels. Such wheels have very low rolling resistance and are normally provided with double seal bearings that in most cases will never need maintenance. If the application required regular greasing, grease nipples can be fitted.

Roller bearings are used in high-impact applications (including frequent shock and vibration). Roller bearings are not suitable for high speeds (more than 6 kph), and if kept well-greased they can cope with some dirt or water. They can handle high load capacities and are suitable for heavy duty applications.

Taper roller bearings are the best choice for power towing applications, and have the highest carrying capacity – they are used on super heavy duty castors. All good castor wheels with taper roller bearings are fitted with oil seal sleeves. Unless you are in big industry, you are unlikely to need these bearings.

Plain bearings are suitable for lighter loads where rolling resistance is not as important. They are highly resistant to chemicals and high heat conditions. Always the best choice in corrosive, high heat or very wet conditions where better bearings would not survive.

Bronze bearings are a type of plain bearing (also suited to extreme temperature conditions, and corrosion resistant). They are highly recommended for high heat or wet applications, and are self-lubricating – no maintenance required.

9. Will you be using castors in a place where hygiene and health are important?

{back to top}

If your answer is yes, there’s a simple course of action to take – choose stainless steel.

A stainless steel frame combined with full stainless components make stainless steel castors the ideal choice for use in wet areas, frequent wash down applications and food, medical and health industries. Thinkrestaurant, food processing factory, laboratory, hospital, nursing home, commercial laundry – the list goes on.

AdMerch have a large range of stainless steel castors. This includes our Elite Bolt and Elite Plate castors which never need maintenance! They can be fitted to food carts and other items which will move through cool rooms, hot kitchens, and even have the ability to be hosed down without affecting performance.

Most castors sold at AdMerch also have a zinc plated finish on both styles of fixing, which provides a corrosion resistant finish. Look out for the ‘zinc plated’ in the product description.
