Description
Rigid Type 3″ PVC Caster Wheel
Rigid Type 3 Inch PVC Caster Wheel is a fixed-direction caster designed for utility carts, display racks, office equipment, movable fixtures, storage units and compatible indoor applications requiring stable straight-line movement.
Its 3-inch PVC wheel provides a firm and practical rolling surface for controlled indoor use. The rigid bracket keeps the wheel facing in one direction, supporting predictable forward-and-backward movement without sideways swivelling.
➡️ Stable Straight-Line Movement
The rigid fixed bracket keeps the caster facing in one direction. It moves forward and backward without swivelling sideways, providing predictable tracking and directional stability for compatible carts, racks and mobile equipment.
⚙️ Firm PVC Wheel Construction
The PVC wheel has a firmer tread than soft rubber or TPR caster wheels. It provides a practical and economical rolling solution for regular use on clean, dry and reasonably smooth indoor floors.

🧭 Predictable Directional Control
The fixed caster configuration helps equipment travel in a controlled straight line. This makes it suitable for applications where directional stability is more important than tight turning or multidirectional manoeuvring.
🧽 Practical and Easy to Maintain
The solid PVC wheel surface is practical for regular indoor use and can be wiped clean when required. Periodically inspect the wheel, axle, mounting plate and bracket to support smooth and safe operation.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for utility carts, display racks, office equipment, movable shelving, shop fixtures, compact storage units, service carts and compatible indoor equipment requiring stable straight-line movement.
🏢 Recommended for Smooth Indoor Floors
PVC caster wheels are best suited to clean, dry and reasonably smooth indoor surfaces such as tile, smooth cement and finished concrete.
Because PVC has a firmer tread than rubber or TPR, it may transmit more vibration and operating noise on uneven flooring. It is not recommended for broken concrete, sharp debris, rough outdoor ground or severe shock-loading applications.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this rigid PVC version when the trolley, rack or equipment requires stable and predictable forward-and-backward movement.
Choose the matching swivel PVC version when easy turning and multidirectional movement are required.
Choose the matching swivel-and-lockable PVC version when easy turning and parking control are both required.
📐 Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Before ordering, confirm the wheel diameter, overall caster height, mounting-plate dimensions, bolt-hole spacing and available clearance on your trolley, rack or equipment.
The product page does not currently publish a verified working-load capacity or complete mounting measurements. Confirm the required load and compatibility with JTC before using the wheel for loaded equipment or replacing an existing caster.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does PVC mean?
PVC means Polyvinyl Chloride. It is a firm plastic material used in general-purpose caster wheels for controlled indoor applications.
Can this caster turn sideways?
No. This is a rigid fixed caster designed for forward-and-backward movement without sideways swivelling.
Does this caster have a brake?
No. This is the rigid non-locking version. Choose the matching swivel lockable PVC caster when turning and parking control are required.
Is PVC the same as TPR or rubber?
No. PVC is a firmer plastic material. TPR and rubber normally provide greater cushioning, lower vibration and quieter rolling.
Is this wheel suitable for quiet environments?
PVC is firmer than rubber or TPR and may produce more rolling noise on hard or uneven floors. Choose a TPR or rubber caster when quieter operation is a priority.
What is the working-load capacity?
The current product page does not publish a verified working-load capacity. Confirm the required application and load with JTC before ordering.
Where does this wheel perform best?
It performs best on clean, dry and reasonably smooth indoor tile, smooth cement and finished concrete floors.
Can rigid and swivel casters be used together?
Yes. A common trolley configuration uses two rigid casters for directional stability and two swivel casters for easier steering.
Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
