Features

• Wheel Diameter: 3 inches, offering a compact size suitable for a variety of equipment.

• Type: Fix (Rigid) Caster, meaning the wheel is mounted in a fixed fork and does not swivel.

• Bearing Type: Single ball bearing in the wheel hub, designed to facilitate smooth rotation.

• Material/Coating: Features a blue-white zinc coating on the metal parts (yoke/body) for enhanced durability.

• Wheel Material: Red color wheel (typically made of materials like rubber, polyurethane, or thermoplastic rubber, depending on the specific model).

• Finish: The zinc coating provides a distinct blue-white metallic sheen, offering both aesthetic and protective qualities.

Functional Benefits

• Smooth Maneuverability: The single ball bearing reduces friction between the wheel and the axle, allowing the equipment to roll smoothly and quietly with less effort.

• Corrosion Resistance: The blue-white zinc coating protects the metal frame from rust, oxidation, and chemical exposure, significantly extending the product's lifespan in harsh or wet environments.

• Stability: As a rigid caster, it provides straight-line tracking. This prevents the equipment from wandering or swiveling unintentionally, making it ideal for applications that require a fixed direction of travel.

• Floor Protection: The red wheel material is often chosen for its non-marking properties and ability to cushion the ride, protecting delicate floor surfaces from scratches and damage.

• Load Distribution: The 3-inch size offers a good balance between load capacity and maneuverability, suitable for medium-duty tasks.

Ideal Applications

• Industrial Equipment: Ideal for small to medium-sized carts, tool stands, and assembly line trolleys in factories or workshops.
• Commercial Use: Suitable for service carts in hotels, light-duty display racks in retail stores, or platform trucks in warehouses.
• Medical & Institutional: Can be used on lightweight medical equipment carts or janitorial cleaning buckets where floor protection and corrosion resistance are valued.
• General Purpose: Perfect for any equipment that requires stable, straight movement (like a basic platform truck) and is used in environments where moisture or chemicals might be present (e.g., food service areas).
