Fallshaw castors and wheels, on the shelf in Cairns.

Fallshaw have been making castors and wheels in Australia since 1920, across three generations of the same family, and they publish themselves as the country's only castor manufacturer. They are one of the two main suppliers behind the Lift Easy range — Lift Easy Townlec is an authorised Fallshaw stockist — and their castors are on the wall at our Cairns store on Scott St rather than in a box out the back.

Our position

We hold the everyday range on the wall rather than ordering every castor in. That is the whole argument for buying a castor locally: the wrong one is not obvious from a website, and a trolley that is fine on smooth concrete will fight you on grating or a wet kitchen floor. Bring the old castor in, or the trolley itself, and we will match it on the wall — bolt pattern, wheel material, load rating and swivel or fixed. If it is not on the wall, we will find out whether it can be brought in.

What we carry

The range, by duty.

Light and medium duty

Fallshaw publish this part of the range at 30kg to 200kg a castor.

Heavy duty

Fallshaw's published rating for this group runs 50kg to 600kg a castor.

Very heavy duty industrial

For loads that move rarely and weigh a great deal — Fallshaw publish 450kg to 3500kg a castor.

Wheels on their own

Not every job needs a whole castor. Wheels on their own in pneumatic, solid rubber and puncture-proof, with the tyres and tubes to go with them — for barrows, trolleys and anything with a bearing that has finally given up.

Electrodrive and Liftmaster

Fallshaw's group also covers Electrodrive powered movers and Liftmaster bin lifters and tippers. We sell both — ring us with what you need to move.

Stainless and hygienic

Stainless and hygienic castors for food, medical and wash-down areas are part of the Lift Easy range — ring the Cairns store.

Worth knowing

The honest take.

A castor is a small part that decides whether a trolley is usable. Buy on the wheel diameter and the tread rather than the price — a larger wheel rolls over a floor join instead of stopping dead at it, a hard wheel rolls easily and lasts but transmits noise and can mark a soft floor, and a soft one is quieter and kinder at the cost of capacity. For load ratings and the rest of the choice, the castor guide on the Lift Easy page goes through it step by step.

Warranty
Fallshaw set the warranty on their own products. Ask us what applies to the part you need and we will confirm it before you buy.

FAQ

Castors, answered.

Where can I buy Fallshaw castors in Cairns?+
At our Cairns store, Lift Easy Townlec, 178 Scott St, Bungalow. The castor wall is on the floor there.
How do I work out which castor I need?+
Four things decide it: the total load and how it is shared across the castors that actually carry it, the floor it runs on, the wheel diameter, and whether you need swivel, fixed or braked. Bring the old one in and the bolt pattern answers half of it at the counter.
Do you stock the whole Fallshaw range?+
No — the published range is far deeper than any shelf. What is on the wall is the everyday range. Tell us what the job is and we will find out whether the rest can be brought in.
Are Fallshaw castors made in Australia?+
Fallshaw manufacture in Australia and have done since 1920, across three generations of the same family. They publish themselves as the only castor manufacturer in the country. Those are their figures, from fallshaw.com.au.
Do you sell Electrodrive or Liftmaster?+
Yes — both are Fallshaw Group brands: Electrodrive for powered movers, Liftmaster for bin lifters and tippers. Ring us with what you need to move.
Can I get Fallshaw castors in Townsville?+
Yes. The castor wall is at the Cairns store, and anything on it can be ordered in to the Townsville workshop. Ring us with the part you need.
