Using swivel castors increases the swivel resistance for a number of activities that involve pushing and pulling. This resistance is the reason for the force needed to move a castor to the desired position when changing direction.

Swivel resistance is also affected by the offset of the castor housing, meaning the horizontal distance between the rotation axes of the swivel bearing and the wheel.
