Description
Swivel Type Heavy Duty 5″ × 2″ Polyurethane (PU) Caster Wheel
Heavy Duty 5 x 2 PU Swivel Caster Wheel is a wide multidirectional industrial caster designed for platform trolleys, warehouse carts, fabricated equipment, machinery stands and compatible material-handling applications requiring easy steering and manoeuvring.
Its 5-inch diameter and 2-inch wide polyurethane wheel provides a broad floor-contact area together with firm and durable rolling performance for clean and reasonably smooth warehouse, workshop and industrial floors.
🔄 Easy Multidirectional Movement
The heavy-duty swivel bracket allows the caster to rotate and change direction. This helps compatible trolleys, carts and mobile equipment turn, manoeuvre and reposition more easily in warehouses, workshops and confined working areas.
⚙️ Durable Polyurethane Wheel
Polyurethane provides a firm and durable industrial rolling surface. It offers a practical balance between wear resistance, controlled movement and reduced harsh floor contact compared with extremely hard wheel materials.

🧭 Improved Steering and Manoeuvring
The swivel caster configuration allows trolleys and mobile equipment to change direction without lifting or manually repositioning the complete unit. This supports easier steering through working areas, warehouse aisles and confined spaces.
🛡️ 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 trolley and material-handling use.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for platform trolleys, warehouse carts, industrial utility carts, fabricated equipment, machinery stands, movable workstations, workshop equipment and compatible material-handling applications requiring easy turning and directional 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 appropriate for rougher conditions.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this swivel heavy-duty PU version when the trolley or equipment requires easy turning and multidirectional movement without a parking brake.
Choose the matching rigid heavy-duty PU version when stable and predictable forward-and-backward movement is required.
Choose the matching double-polyurethane swivel model when that particular wheel construction is required, after confirming the mounting, load and operating requirements.
📐 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, swivel clearance and available space on your trolley or equipment.

❓ 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.
Can this caster turn in different directions?
Yes. The heavy-duty swivel bracket allows the caster to rotate and change direction for easier trolley steering and manoeuvring.
Does this caster have a brake?
No. This is the standard non-locking swivel version. Choose a suitable swivel-and-lockable caster when parking control is required.
What does 5″ × 2″ mean?
The wheel has an approximately 5-inch diameter and an approximately 2-inch tread width.
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 with lower rolling resistance 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 application, number of casters and total load with JTC before ordering.
Where does this wheel perform best?
It performs best on clean and reasonably smooth warehouse, workshop, epoxy-coated and finished concrete 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 easier steering.
Is mounting hardware included?
Mounting bolts and installation hardware are not included unless separately specified.
