Description
Swivel Type 5″ Rubber Caster Wheel
Swivel Type 5 Inch Rubber Caster Wheel is a versatile plate-mounted caster designed for platform trolleys, utility carts, service carts, mobile racks, workshop equipment and compatible material-handling applications requiring easy turning and multidirectional movement.
Its practical 5-inch rubber wheel combines a cushioned rolling surface with smooth 360-degree swivel movement, helping provide easier steering, quieter operation and controlled manoeuvring across suitable indoor and sheltered working surfaces.
🔄 Smooth 360° Swivel Movement
The swivel bracket allows the caster to rotate freely around its mounting axis, helping trolleys, carts and mobile equipment change direction easily in warehouses, workshops, shops and confined working areas.
🔇 Quieter Rubber Rolling
The rubber tread provides useful cushioning and grip while helping reduce harsh rolling noise and minor vibration compared with harder wheel materials.

🧭 Easy Steering and Manoeuvring
The swivel configuration helps equipment change direction without lifting or manually repositioning the complete trolley. This makes it useful for mobile equipment that must frequently turn or move through tighter working spaces.
🛡️ Rubber Tread for Finished Floors
The rubber tread provides more cushioning than hard nylon, metal or rigid plastic wheels, helping reduce harsh floor contact and minor vibration during normal movement on suitable surfaces.
🔇 Reduced Rolling Noise
Rubber is a practical choice where lower rolling noise is preferred, making this caster suitable for warehouses, workshops, shops, service areas and other applications where very hard wheels may create unnecessary noise.
🛞 Practical 5-Inch Wheel Diameter
The 5-inch wheel provides greater rolling clearance than smaller caster sizes while maintaining a practical overall profile for platform trolleys, carts, racks and compatible mobile equipment.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for platform trolleys, utility carts, service carts, warehouse carts, mobile racks, packing stations, workstations, workshop equipment and compatible custom-built material-handling equipment requiring easy directional movement.
🏢 Recommended Operating Surfaces
Rubber caster wheels are generally suitable for clean and reasonably smooth indoor or sheltered surfaces such as tile, epoxy-coated flooring, polished concrete, finished concrete and smooth cement.
Continuous use on broken concrete, sharp debris, deep holes or highly uneven ground may increase rolling resistance and wheel wear. A Jeep-cut, pneumatic or specialised heavy-duty wheel may be more appropriate for demanding surfaces.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this standard swivel 5″ rubber caster when your trolley or equipment requires easier turning and multidirectional movement without a parking brake.
Choose the matching rigid 5″ rubber caster when stable straight-line movement is more important than frequent turning.
Choose the matching swivel-lockable 5″ rubber caster when easy turning and secure parking control are both required.
📐 Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Before ordering, confirm the 5-inch wheel diameter, mounting-plate dimensions, bolt-hole spacing, overall caster height, swivel clearance and available space on your trolley or equipment.
The current product listing does not publish a verified working-load capacity. Confirm your required load, number of casters, equipment construction, floor condition and load distribution with JTC before installation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this caster wheel?
The wheel diameter is approximately 5 inches, equal to around 127 mm.
Does this caster rotate through 360 degrees?
Yes. The swivel bracket allows multidirectional movement and easier steering.
Does this model include a brake?
No. This is the standard non-locking swivel version. A matching 5-inch swivel-lockable rubber caster is available separately.
Is this a rubber wheel?
Yes. The wheel is fitted with a rubber rolling tread.
Is rubber suitable for quieter trolley movement?
Rubber provides a more cushioned rolling surface than many hard wheel materials and can help reduce rolling noise and minor vibration.
What is the difference between this and the rigid version?
This caster swivels for easier turning. The rigid version remains aligned in one fixed direction for straighter trolley movement.
What is the difference between this and the lockable version?
Both versions provide swivel movement, but the lockable model includes a brake for parking and stationary control.
What is the working-load capacity?
The current product listing does not publish a verified working-load capacity. Confirm the required application, load and number of casters with JTC before ordering.
Can rigid and swivel casters be used together?
Yes. A common trolley configuration uses rigid casters for directional stability and swivel casters for easier steering, provided the caster specifications are suitable for the application.
Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
