Description
Rigid Type Heavy Duty 6″ x 2″ Teflon Caster Wheel
Rigid Type Heavy Duty 6 x 2 Teflon Caster Wheel is a wide fixed-direction industrial caster designed for heavy platform trolleys, warehouse transport carts, machinery bases, fabrication frames and demanding material-handling applications.
Its large 6-inch diameter, wide 2-inch hard-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, providing predictable tracking and directional stability under heavy loads.
⚖️ Wide Tread for Load Stability
The wide 2-inch tread distributes the load across a broader wheel surface, supporting stable movement for compatible industrial trolleys, machinery bases and transport platforms.
📋 Technical Specifications

Heavy-duty top plate / fixed bracket
Approximately 300–320 kg per wheel
Heavy-duty indoor industrial applications
⚙️ Low Rolling Resistance
The hard wheel construction rolls efficiently across smooth and stable industrial floors, helping reduce the starting and pushing effort required when moving compatible heavy-duty trolleys and equipment.
🧱 Heavy-Duty Hard-Plastic Wheel
The dense hard-plastic construction provides a rigid wheel profile, good dimensional stability and dependable rolling performance for demanding indoor material-handling applications.
Important: “Teflon type” is the common market description for this hard-plastic wheel. It is not genuine industrial PTFE and is not intended for ovens, furnaces or other high-temperature environments.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for heavy-duty industrial trolleys, warehouse transport platforms, fabrication and welding frames, machinery bases, equipment-support structures, mobile work platforms and custom material-handling systems.
⬆️ Benefits of the 6-Inch Wheel Size
The larger 6-inch diameter provides improved ground clearance and generally rolls more easily under heavy loads compared with smaller caster wheels.
Combined with the wide 2-inch tread, it provides a practical balance of rolling efficiency, load distribution and stable equipment movement.
🏭 Designed for Stable Industrial Floors
This hard caster wheel performs best on clean, dry and reasonably level concrete, epoxy-coated and tiled industrial floors.
Continuous operation on broken, rough or highly uneven surfaces may increase vibration, pushing effort and wheel wear. Rubber, TPR or pneumatic wheels 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 360-degree turning and easier directional changes are required.
Choose the swivel-and-lockable version when the equipment must be manoeuvred 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 equipment construction, mounting strength, number of casters, 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 300–320 kg per wheel under suitable conditions and proper load distribution.
Is the wheel made from genuine PTFE Teflon?
No. It is a hard-plastic industrial wheel commonly marketed as Teflon type.
Is this wheel suitable for high-temperature use?
No. It is designed for structural strength and industrial load handling, not high-temperature environments.
Where does this caster 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 configuration uses two rigid casters for directional stability and two swivel casters for steering.
Do the matching swivel versions have the same load guidance?
Yes. The matching 6″ × 2″ swivel and swivel-lockable Teflon-type casters currently publish the same approximate 300–320 kg recommended working load per wheel.
Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
