Description
Rigid Type 4″ Nylon Caster Wheel
Rigid Type 4 Nylon Caster Wheel is a fixed-direction plate-mounted wheel designed for trolleys, utility carts, storage racks, warehouse equipment and compatible material-handling applications.
Its practical 4-inch nylon wheel, strong metal bracket and top-plate mounting design provide stable straight-line movement and low rolling resistance across clean, smooth working surfaces.
➡️ Stable Straight-Line Movement
The rigid bracket holds the wheel in one fixed direction, helping trolleys, carts and equipment maintain controlled and predictable straight-line movement.
⚙️ Low Rolling Resistance
The hard nylon wheel rolls efficiently across smooth and level floors, making it easier to start and move compatible equipment.

📦 Common Uses
Suitable for utility trolleys, warehouse carts, storage racks, shelving units, material-handling platforms, workshop equipment and mobile frames requiring fixed-direction movement.
✨ Durable Nylon Construction
The nylon wheel offers smooth rolling, good wear resistance and simple maintenance for regular commercial and industrial use.
It performs best on smooth surfaces such as tile, epoxy and finished concrete. Rubber or TPR wheels may be more suitable when quieter movement and extra 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 combined with swivel casters to provide directional stability and 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 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, load distribution, floor condition and movement speed.
