- Correct configuration of left and right wheels creates a straight tracking unit. Moreover, they come with 360-degree swivel functionality that provides precise manoeuvrability in any direction.
- These castors are ideal for adding mobility to trolleys and storage units and are popular with manufacturers for bed bases.

The beauty of an expanding socket fitting is its ability to work with a range of tube dimensions, so you do not need to search for an exact match. The expanding socket is sold separately or as a castor and socket set, which can be found under the "ASSOCIATED ITEMS" Tab.
