Description
Rigid Type 3″ Teflon Caster Wheel
Rigid Type 3 Teflon Caster Wheel is a fixed-direction caster designed for light-to-medium-duty trolleys, storage racks, utility carts, equipment bases and compatible indoor material-handling applications.
Its practical 3-inch hard synthetic plastic wheel, commonly marketed as a Teflon-type wheel, combines low rolling resistance with a rigid top-plate bracket for stable and predictable straight-line movement.
➡️ Stable Straight-Line Movement
The rigid bracket keeps the wheel aligned in one fixed direction. It moves forward and backward without swivelling sideways, providing predictable movement and improved directional control.
⚙️ Low Rolling Resistance
The hard plastic wheel rolls efficiently across clean, smooth and level floors, helping compatible trolleys and equipment move with less starting and pushing effort.

🧱 Hard Plastic Teflon-Type Wheel
The dense synthetic plastic construction provides a rigid wheel profile, useful shape retention and efficient rolling for regular indoor material-handling applications.
Important: “Teflon type” is the common market description for this hard synthetic plastic wheel. It is not genuine industrial PTFE and is not intended for high-temperature or heat-resistant applications.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for light-to-medium-duty trolleys, storage racks, utility carts, equipment bases, workshop fixtures, indoor transport systems and compatible equipment requiring stable straight-line movement.
🔧 Fixed Top-Plate Mounting
The rigid top-plate bracket provides a secure mounting arrangement for compatible trolley and equipment frames. The fixed alignment helps maintain directional stability, particularly when rigid casters are combined with swivel casters in a complete wheel set.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this rigid version when your trolley or equipment requires stable and predictable forward-and-backward movement.
Choose the matching plate-mounted swivel version when easy directional changes are required. A lockable version is also available, but it uses threaded-stem mounting and is not a direct top-plate replacement.
📐 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.
The recommended working load is application guidance. Actual suitability depends on correct installation, equipment construction, number of casters, even load distribution, floor condition and frequency of movement.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can this caster turn sideways?
No. This is a rigid fixed caster designed for forward-and-backward movement only.
Is this wheel made from genuine PTFE Teflon?
No. It is made from hard synthetic engineering plastic commonly marketed as Teflon type.
Is this caster heat resistant?
No. It is not designed for high-temperature or heat-resistant industrial applications.
What is the recommended working load?
The recommended working-load guidance is approximately 45–55 kg per wheel under suitable indoor conditions and even load distribution.
Where does this wheel perform best?
It is primarily recommended for clean, dry and reasonably level tile, concrete and epoxy-coated indoor floors.
Can rigid and swivel casters be used together?
Yes. Rigid casters are commonly paired with swivel casters to combine straight-line stability with easier steering.
Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
