Description
Rigid Type Heavy Duty 4″ × 2″ Rubber Caster Wheel
Heavy Duty 4 x 2 Rigid Rubber Caster Wheel is a wide fixed-direction industrial caster designed for heavy platform trolleys, warehouse carts, machinery bases, fabrication equipment and compatible material-handling applications requiring stable straight-line movement.
Its 4-inch diameter and 2-inch wide heavy-duty rubber wheel, strong metal bracket and top-plate mounting system provide dependable tracking, useful grip, cushioning and smoother movement across suitable commercial and industrial floors.
➡️ Stable Straight-Line Movement
The rigid heavy-duty bracket keeps the wheel facing in one fixed direction, helping loaded trolleys and compatible equipment maintain controlled and predictable forward-and-backward movement without sideways swivelling.
🛞 Wide Heavy-Duty Rubber Tread
The wide rubber tread provides stable floor contact, useful grip and cushioning while helping reduce vibration and rolling noise compared with many hard wheel materials.

🧭 Predictable Directional Control
The fixed caster configuration helps heavy trolleys and mobile equipment travel in a controlled straight line. This is useful where directional stability is more important than tight turning or multidirectional manoeuvring.
🛡️ Rubber Cushioning and Floor Contact
The rubber tread provides more cushioning than hard nylon, metal or rigid plastic wheels, helping reduce harsh floor contact, minor vibration and rolling noise during normal operation on suitable surfaces.
📏 Wide 2-Inch Wheel Profile
The approximately 2-inch-wide wheel provides a broader floor-contact area than narrow general-purpose caster wheels. This supports improved stability and more even floor contact during normal industrial trolley use.
⚖️ Recommended 220–250 kg Per Wheel
The recommended working load is approximately 220–250 kg per wheel. Actual suitability depends on the number of casters, trolley construction, mounting strength, load distribution, floor condition, operating speed and impact during movement.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for heavy-duty platform trolleys, industrial carts, warehouse equipment, fabrication jigs, machinery bases, mobile racks, workshop equipment and custom-built material-handling systems requiring stable straight-line movement.
🏭 Recommended Operating Surfaces
Heavy-duty rubber caster wheels are generally suitable for clean and reasonably smooth commercial and industrial surfaces such as finished concrete, smooth cement, tile and epoxy-coated floors.
Continuous use on broken concrete, sharp debris, deep floor joints, rough outdoor ground or highly uneven surfaces may increase rolling resistance and wheel wear. A Jeep-cut, pneumatic or specialised rough-surface wheel may be more appropriate for demanding conditions.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this rigid heavy-duty version when the trolley or equipment must travel mainly in a stable and predictable straight line.
Rigid caster wheels are commonly paired with swivel casters 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 manoeuvrability and parking control are both needed.
📐 Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Before ordering, confirm the 4-inch wheel diameter, 2-inch wheel width, mounting-plate dimensions, bolt-hole spacing, overall caster height and available wheel clearance on your trolley or equipment.
Actual load suitability depends on correct installation, trolley construction, floor condition, number of casters, even load distribution and impact during movement. Confirm the complete application with JTC before installation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rigid caster wheel?
A rigid caster wheel moves in one fixed direction and does not rotate or swivel from side to side.
What does 4″ × 2″ mean?
The wheel has an approximately 4-inch diameter and an approximately 2-inch tread width.
What is the recommended working load?
The recommended working load is approximately 220–250 kg per wheel. Actual suitability depends on mounting, floor condition, correct load distribution and operating conditions.
Does this caster turn through 360 degrees?
No. This is the rigid version. A matching heavy-duty swivel version is available separately.
Does this model include a brake?
No. A matching heavy-duty swivel caster with a lock is available separately.
Can rigid and swivel caster wheels be used together?
Yes. A common trolley configuration uses two rigid casters for directional stability and two swivel casters for easier steering.
Is this wheel suitable for rough outdoor ground?
It is better suited to reasonably smooth commercial and industrial floors. A Jeep-cut, pneumatic or specialised rough-surface wheel may be more appropriate for rough ground.
Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
