Description
Rigid Type Heavy Duty 4″ x 2″ Teflon Caster Wheel
Rigid Type Heavy Duty 4 x 2 Teflon Caster Wheel is a wide fixed-direction industrial caster designed for heavy platform trolleys, warehouse transport carts, machinery bases, fabricated steel frames and demanding material-handling applications.
Its 4-inch diameter, wide 2-inch hard engineering-plastic wheel, reinforced rigid bracket and heavy-duty top-plate mounting provide stable straight-line movement, efficient rolling and improved load distribution across suitable industrial floors.
➡️ Stable Straight-Line Tracking
The rigid bracket keeps the wheel aligned in one fixed direction. It moves forward and backward without swivelling sideways, helping maintain predictable tracking and directional stability under heavy loads.
⚖️ Wide Tread for Load Stability
The wide 2-inch tread improves floor contact and distributes the load across a broader area, supporting stable movement for compatible industrial trolleys, platforms and equipment.

Heavy-duty indoor industrial applications
⚙️ Low Rolling Resistance
The hard wheel construction rolls efficiently across smooth industrial floors, helping reduce the starting and pushing effort required when moving compatible heavy-duty trolleys and equipment.
🧱 Heavy-Duty Engineering-Plastic Wheel
The dense hard-plastic construction provides a rigid wheel profile, useful shape retention and stable rolling performance for demanding indoor material-handling applications.
Important: “Teflon type” is the common market description for this engineering-plastic wheel. It is not genuine industrial PTFE and is not intended for furnaces, ovens or other high-temperature environments.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for heavy-duty industrial trolleys, fabricated steel platforms, warehouse transport carts, machinery bases, equipment-support frames, mobile work platforms and custom material-handling systems.
🏭 Designed for Smooth Industrial Floors
The hard wheel performs best on clean, dry and reasonably level concrete, epoxy-coated and tiled industrial floors.
Continuous use on rough, broken or highly uneven outdoor surfaces may increase vibration, pushing effort and wheel wear. A rubber, TPR or pneumatic wheel may be more suitable where additional cushioning is required.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this rigid version when your trolley, platform or equipment requires maximum straight-line stability and predictable forward-and-backward movement.
Choose the matching swivel version when easier steering and multidirectional movement are required.
Choose the swivel-and-lockable version when the equipment must be manoeuvred easily and then held stationary using a foot-operated brake.
📐 Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Before ordering, confirm the wheel diameter, wheel width, 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 the trolley or equipment construction, mounting strength, number of casters, even load distribution, floor condition, movement speed and impact during use.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can this caster turn sideways?
No. This is a rigid fixed caster designed for stable forward-and-backward movement.
What is the recommended working load?
The recommended working-load guidance is approximately 220–250 kg per wheel under suitable conditions and proper load distribution.
Is the wheel made from genuine PTFE Teflon?
No. It is made from dense hard engineering plastic commonly marketed as Teflon type.
Is this wheel suitable for high-temperature use?
No. It is designed for mechanical strength and industrial load handling, not high-temperature environments.
Where does this wheel perform best?
It performs best on clean, dry and reasonably smooth concrete, tile and epoxy-coated industrial floors.
Can rigid and swivel casters be used together?
Yes. A common trolley arrangement uses two rigid casters for directional stability and two swivel casters for steering.
Do the matching swivel versions have the same load guidance?
No. The related swivel and swivel-lockable versions have separate load recommendations and should be checked individually before ordering.
Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
