Description
Rigid Type Heavy Duty 5″ × 2″ Polyurethane (PU) Caster Wheel
Heavy Duty 5 x 2 Rigid PU Caster Wheel is a wide fixed-direction industrial caster designed for platform trolleys, warehouse carts, machinery bases, fabricated equipment and compatible material-handling applications requiring stable straight-line movement.
Its 5-inch diameter and 2-inch wide polyurethane wheel, heavy-duty metal bracket and top-plate mounting design provide dependable tracking, durable rolling performance and broad floor contact across suitable commercial and industrial surfaces.
➡️ 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.
⚙️ Durable Polyurethane Wheel
Polyurethane provides a firm and durable rolling surface suitable for regular industrial use. It offers a practical balance between wear resistance, controlled movement and reduced harsh floor contact compared with extremely 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.
🛡️ Suitable for Finished Industrial Floors
The polyurethane rolling surface is suitable for clean and reasonably smooth floors where durability, controlled movement and reduced harsh contact are important. Confirm suitability before using the wheel on delicate or specialised floor finishes.
📏 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.
🛞 Practical 5-Inch Wheel Diameter
The 5-inch wheel provides greater rolling clearance than smaller caster sizes, helping compatible equipment move more comfortably across minor floor joints and small surface variations.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for heavy-duty platform trolleys, industrial carts, warehouse equipment, fabricated machinery bases, mobile workstations, workshop equipment and custom-built material-handling systems requiring stable straight-line movement.
🏭 Recommended Operating Surfaces
Polyurethane caster wheels are generally suited to clean and reasonably smooth warehouse, workshop and industrial floors such as epoxy-coated floors, finished concrete and smooth cement.
Continuous use on broken concrete, sharp metal debris, deep floor joints, rough outdoor ground or highly uneven surfaces may increase rolling resistance and wheel wear. A Jeep-cut rubber or pneumatic wheel may be more suitable for rougher conditions.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this rigid heavy-duty PU 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 PU version when easier turning and multidirectional movement are required. Choose the double-PU model when that specific wheel construction is required, after confirming the differences and application with JTC.
📐 Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Before ordering, confirm the 5-inch wheel diameter, 2-inch wheel width, overall caster height, mounting-plate dimensions, bolt-hole spacing and available wheel clearance on your trolley or equipment.
The product page does not currently publish a verified working-load capacity or complete mounting measurements. Confirm the required load, number of casters, equipment design, floor condition and operating environment with JTC before installation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does PU mean?
PU means Polyurethane. It is a durable wheel material commonly used for industrial caster wheels where wear resistance and firm rolling performance are important.
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 5″ × 2″ mean?
The wheel has an approximately 5-inch diameter and an approximately 2-inch tread width.
Does this caster turn through 360 degrees?
No. This is the rigid version. A matching heavy-duty swivel PU version is available separately.
Does this model include a brake?
No. This is a rigid non-locking caster wheel.
Is polyurethane the same as rubber?
No. Polyurethane is generally firmer than ordinary soft rubber and is commonly selected where durability, controlled rolling and wear resistance are priorities.
Is polyurethane the same as nylon?
No. Polyurethane generally provides more cushioning than hard nylon, while nylon normally provides a harder rolling surface on very smooth floors.
What is the working-load capacity?
The current product page does not publish a verified working-load capacity. Confirm the required load, number of wheels and application with JTC before ordering.
Can rigid and swivel casters be used together?
Yes. A common trolley configuration uses two rigid casters for directional stability and two swivel casters for easier steering.
Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
