Swivel Type 3″ Teflon Caster Wheel

Swivel Type 3″ Teflon Caster Wheel

Swivel Type 3 Teflon Caster Wheel is a practical plate-mounted caster designed for medium-duty trolleys, utility carts, storage racks, workshop equipment and compatible indoor fixtures requiring easy steering and multidirectional movement.

Its 3-inch Teflon-type hard-plastic wheel, smooth 360-degree swivel action and secure top-plate mounting provide controlled manoeuvrability and low rolling resistance across clean, smooth indoor floors.

📋 Technical Specifications

🔩 Secure Top-Plate Mounting

The caster uses a top mounting plate that can be bolted to a compatible trolley, rack or equipment frame. This provides a stable installation arrangement for applications designed for plate-mounted caster wheels.

🧱 Teflon-Type Hard-Plastic Wheel

The dense hard-plastic construction provides a rigid wheel profile, useful shape retention and efficient rolling under suitable medium-duty indoor loads.

Important: “Teflon type” is the common market description for this hard-plastic caster wheel. It is intended for structural rigidity and smooth rolling, not ovens, furnaces or other high-temperature environments.

📦 Common Uses

Suitable for medium-duty trolleys, utility carts, storage racks, workshop equipment, commercial display units, movable indoor platforms and compatible equipment requiring easy directional movement.

🏢 Recommended for Smooth Indoor Floors

This hard caster wheel performs best on clean, dry and reasonably level tile, concrete and epoxy-coated indoor floors.

Occasional movement on a controlled outdoor surface may be possible, but continuous use on rough, broken or highly uneven floors may increase vibration, pushing effort and wheel wear.

🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type

Choose this standard swivel version when your trolley or equipment requires easy turning and multidirectional movement without a parking brake.

Choose the matching rigid version when stable and predictable forward-and-backward movement is required.

A matching lockable wheel is also available for parking control, but it uses threaded-stem mounting and is not a direct top-plate replacement.

📐 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, even load distribution, floor condition, movement speed and frequency of use.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does this caster rotate through 360 degrees?
Yes. The swivel bracket rotates fully to provide easy turning and multidirectional movement.

Does this caster include a brake?
No. This is the standard non-locking swivel version.

What is the recommended working load?
The recommended working-load guidance is approximately 45–55 kg per wheel under suitable conditions and even load distribution.

Is this caster suitable for high-temperature use?
No. It is a hard-plastic Teflon-type caster intended for structural strength and smooth rolling, not high-temperature applications.

Where does this wheel perform best?
It performs best on clean, dry and reasonably smooth tile, concrete and epoxy-coated indoor floors.

What is the difference between rigid and swivel casters?
A rigid caster moves in one fixed direction, while a swivel caster rotates to provide easier steering and directional changes.

Is the lockable version a direct replacement?
No. The related lockable model uses threaded-stem mounting, while this standard swivel caster uses a top mounting plate.

Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
