Overview
EN 12533:1998 (CEN) is a European standard for castors and wheels used in industrial applications operating at speeds over 1.1 m/s (4 km/h) and up to 4.4 m/s (16 km/h). The standard specifies the technical requirements, appropriate dimensions, and the requirements for testing of castors and wheels intended for manually propelled or power‑towed equipment. Pneumatic wheels and drive wheels are excluded from this standard.
Key Topics
The standard focuses on practical, safety‑related and performance‑oriented elements, including:
- Technical requirements for materials, construction and load capability of castors and wheels.
- Dimensional requirements to ensure interchangeability and fit for specified industrial applications.
- Testing requirements that define how to verify performance at the specified speed range (over 1.1 m/s up to 4.4 m/s).
- Scope of application, clarifying it applies to manually propelled and power‑towed equipment but excludes pneumatic and drive wheels.
- Accessories: provisions for components supplied with castors/wheels (where applicable).
These topics help manufacturers, designers and test laboratories verify that components meet expected safety and durability criteria for higher‑speed ground transport within industrial settings.
Applications
EN 12533 is relevant for a variety of industrial uses where castors and wheels operate at higher travel speeds:
- Hand‑propelled trolleys and carts that may be moved quickly within warehouses or production floors.
- Power‑towed trailers and dollies used in logistics, assembly lines or airport service vehicles (non‑drive wheels).
- Material handling equipment attachments and accessories where consistent dimensions and tested performance are critical.
Who uses this standard:
- Manufacturers and OEMs designing and producing castors and wheels.
- Design and mechanical engineers specifying components for industrial trucks and trolleys.
- Procurement and quality teams checking supplier compliance.
- Testing laboratories and certification bodies responsible for verification and conformity assessment.
- Maintenance and safety personnel using the standard to guide replacement choices and safety audits.
Related Standards
- EN 12533 complements other CEN standards that govern industrial trucks, wheel and castor performance, and safety requirements. Users should consult the relevant series of CEN/ISO standards for comprehensive product and equipment compliance.
