Description
Swivel Type Lockable 3″ Teflon Caster Wheel
Swivel Type Lockable 3″ Teflon Caster Wheel is a practical threaded-stem caster designed for light-to-medium-duty trolleys, utility carts, storage racks, workshop equipment and compatible indoor fixtures requiring easy steering and parking control.
Its 3-inch Teflon-type hard-plastic wheel, smooth 360-degree swivel action, compact threaded-stem mounting and integrated foot-operated brake provide easy manoeuvring, low rolling resistance and controlled stationary positioning on suitable indoor floors.
🔄 Smooth 360° Swivel Movement
The swivel head rotates through 360 degrees, allowing trolleys, carts, racks and mobile equipment to turn easily and change direction in shops, storerooms, workshops and confined indoor spaces.
🔒 Foot-Operated Parking Brake
The integrated brake restricts wheel rolling under normal working conditions, helping keep the trolley, rack, cart or equipment stable while parked, loaded or unloaded.

Light-to-medium-duty indoor applications
🔩 Compact Threaded-Stem Mounting
The threaded stem screws into a compatible socket, nut or mounting point. This provides a compact fixing arrangement for equipment specifically designed for stem-mounted caster wheels.
⚙️ Low Rolling Resistance
The rigid hard-plastic wheel rolls efficiently across clean, smooth and level indoor floors, helping compatible trolleys and mobile equipment move with less starting and pushing effort.
🧱 Teflon-Type Hard-Plastic Wheel
The hard-plastic construction provides a rigid wheel profile, stable rolling and useful shape retention for regular indoor material-handling applications.
Important: “Teflon type” is the common market description for this hard-plastic caster wheel. It is designed for strength and smooth rolling and is not intended for ovens, furnaces or other high-temperature environments.
📦 Common Uses
Suitable for light-to-medium-duty industrial trolleys, utility carts, storage racks, workshop equipment, indoor service carts, movable display units and compatible fixtures designed for threaded-stem caster mounting.
🏢 Recommended for Smooth Indoor Floors
This hard caster wheel performs best in dry indoor environments on smooth tile, epoxy-coated floors and reasonably level concrete.
Continuous use on rough, broken or highly uneven surfaces may increase vibration, pushing effort and wheel wear. Rubber or TPR caster wheels may be more suitable where quieter movement and additional cushioning are required.
🛞 Choosing the Correct Caster Type
Choose this swivel and lockable version when your equipment requires easy 360-degree turning together with a brake for stationary positioning.
Choose the standard swivel version when easy multidirectional movement is required without a parking brake.
Choose the rigid version when stable straight-line movement is required. The related rigid and non-locking swivel models use top-plate mounting and are not direct replacements for this threaded-stem caster.
📐 Confirm the Thread Before Ordering
Threaded caster stems are not universally interchangeable. Confirm the required thread diameter, thread pitch, stem length and available mounting clearance before ordering.
The recommended working load is application guidance. Actual suitability depends on correct installation, equipment construction, number of casters, even load distribution, floor condition and frequency of movement.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does this caster rotate through 360 degrees?
Yes. The swivel head rotates fully to provide easy steering and multidirectional movement.
Does this caster include a brake?
Yes. The foot-operated brake restricts wheel rolling under normal working conditions to help keep the equipment stable.
Does the brake lock both the wheel and swivel head?
The current product specification confirms that the brake restricts wheel rolling. It should not be described as a total-lock brake unless separately confirmed.
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 a top-plate caster?
No. This model uses a threaded stem that screws into a compatible mounting point.
Do all threaded caster wheels use the same thread?
No. The thread diameter, pitch and stem length can vary, so the mounting measurements must be confirmed before ordering.
Is this caster suitable for high-temperature use?
No. It is a Teflon-type hard-plastic caster intended for strength and smooth rolling, not high-temperature environments.
Where does this wheel perform best?
It performs best on smooth tile, epoxy-coated or reasonably level concrete floors in dry indoor environments.
Are the rigid and standard swivel models direct replacements?
No. Those related versions use top-plate mounting, while this lockable model uses threaded-stem mounting.
