Description
Rigid Type 3″ TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) Caster Wheel
Rigid Type 3″ TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) Caster Wheel is a fixed-direction caster designed for utility trolleys, office carts, display racks, movable shelving and compatible indoor equipment requiring stable straight-line movement.
Its practical 3-inch thermoplastic rubber wheel provides a softer rolling surface than hard nylon or hard-plastic caster wheels, helping reduce rolling noise and provide better protection for suitable finished indoor floors.
➡️ Stable Straight-Line Movement
The rigid bracket keeps the wheel facing in one fixed direction. It moves forward and backward without swivelling sideways, providing predictable tracking for compatible trolleys, carts and equipment.
🔇 Quieter Indoor Rolling
The softer TPR tread helps reduce harsh rolling noise compared with harder wheel materials, making it suitable for shops, offices, showrooms, hospitals and indoor service areas.

🛡️ Better Protection for Finished Floors
The softer thermoplastic rubber tread provides more cushioning than hard nylon and hard-plastic wheels, helping reduce harsh wheel contact on suitable tile, epoxy and finished concrete floors.
〰️ Smoother Trolley Movement
The rubber-like TPR tread provides a more cushioned rolling feel than hard wheel materials, supporting controlled trolley movement across clean and reasonably level indoor floors.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for utility trolleys, office carts, hospital service carts, display racks, movable shelving, shop equipment, storage units and compatible indoor fixtures requiring stable straight-line movement.
🏢 Recommended for Indoor Floors
TPR wheels are best suited to clean and reasonably smooth indoor surfaces such as tile, epoxy-coated floors and finished concrete.
Continuous use on broken concrete, rough outdoor ground, metal scrap areas or sharp debris may increase tread wear. A rubber, PU, Jeep-cut or pneumatic wheel may be more suitable for demanding outdoor conditions.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this rigid version when the trolley or equipment requires stable and predictable forward-and-backward movement.
Choose the matching swivel version when easy turning and multidirectional movement are required.
Choose the matching swivel-and-lockable version when easy steering 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 or equipment.
