Description
Rigid Type 3″ Rubber Caster Wheel
Rigid Type 3 Inch Rubber Caster Wheel is a fixed-direction wheel designed for utility trolleys, service carts, mobile racks, display stands, workstations and compatible equipment requiring stable straight-line movement.
Its practical 3-inch rubber wheel, strong metal bracket and plate-mount design provide controlled forward-and-backward movement with reduced rolling noise on common indoor floor surfaces.
➡️ Stable Straight-Line Movement
The rigid bracket keeps the wheel facing in one fixed direction, helping trolleys and equipment maintain a controlled and predictable travel path without swivelling sideways.
🔇 Quiet Rubber Rolling
The rubber tread helps reduce rolling noise and vibration while providing useful grip on tile, vinyl, epoxy-coated and smooth concrete 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 movement.
🛡️ Rubber Tread for Indoor Floors
The rubber tread provides more cushioning than hard plastic or nylon wheels, helping reduce harsh floor contact, minor vibration and rolling noise during normal indoor use.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for utility trolleys, service carts, mobile racks, display stands, workshop equipment, office equipment, small workstations and custom-built frames requiring fixed-direction movement.
🏢 Recommended for Smooth Indoor Floors
Rubber caster wheels are generally suitable for clean and reasonably smooth indoor surfaces such as tile, vinyl, epoxy-coated floors and finished concrete.
Continuous use on broken concrete, sharp debris, rough outdoor ground or highly uneven flooring may increase rolling resistance and wheel wear. A larger Jeep-cut or pneumatic wheel may be more suitable for rougher surfaces.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this rigid version when your trolley or equipment must travel mainly in a straight line.
Rigid caster wheels are commonly combined with swivel wheels 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 turning and parking control are both needed.
📐 Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Before ordering, confirm the wheel diameter, mounting-plate size, bolt-hole spacing, overall caster height and available clearance on your trolley or equipment.
Confirm the required working load, number of wheels and equipment design with JTC before using the caster on loaded equipment or as a replacement wheel.

No. This is the rigid version. A matching swivel version is available separately.
Does this model include a brake?
No. A matching swivel caster with a lock is available separately.
Can rigid and swivel caster wheels be used together?
