Description
Rigid Type 3″ Nylon Caster Wheel
Rigid Type 3 Nylon Caster Wheel is a fixed-direction plate-mounted wheel designed for trolleys, utility carts, storage racks, display stands, workstations and compatible mobile equipment.
Its practical 3-inch nylon wheel, strong metal bracket and top-plate mounting design provide stable straight-line movement and efficient rolling across clean, smooth indoor floors.
➡️ Stable Straight-Line Movement
The rigid bracket holds the wheel in one fixed direction, helping trolleys, racks and equipment maintain a controlled and predictable travel path.

📦 Common Uses
Suitable for utility trolleys, service carts, storage racks, shelving units, display stands, office equipment, workshop equipment and custom-built mobile frames requiring fixed-direction movement.
✨ Durable Nylon Wheel
The hard nylon construction offers efficient rolling and straightforward cleaning for regular indoor applications.
Nylon wheels are best suited to smooth, hard surfaces such as tile, epoxy and finished concrete. A rubber or TPR wheel may be more suitable when quieter movement and additional cushioning are the main requirements.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose the rigid version when your trolley or equipment must travel mainly in a straight line. Rigid casters are commonly paired with swivel casters to provide directional stability together with easier steering.
Choose the matching swivel version when easier turning is required, or select the swivel-with-lock version when both turning and parking control are needed.
📐 Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Before ordering, confirm the wheel diameter, mounting-plate dimensions, bolt-hole spacing, overall caster height and available clearance on your trolley or equipment. Load suitability should be confirmed according to the equipment design, number of wheels, floor condition and load distribution.
