Rigid Caster

Rigid casters are a type of caster commonly used in commercial hardware applications. They are part of the supply class "Hardware, Commercial" within the supply group "Hardware And Abrasives."

Rigid casters are designed to provide stability and support to equipment or furniture. Unlike swivel casters, which can rotate 360 degrees, rigid casters only move in a straight line. They are typically mounted on the corners of carts, racks, or other mobile structures to facilitate easy movement and maneuverability.

These casters are constructed with a fixed wheel that does not rotate or pivot. This design ensures that the equipment or furniture remains in a fixed direction, making it easier to control and navigate in a straight line. Rigid casters are often used in combination with swivel casters to provide both stability and maneuverability.

In commercial hardware applications, rigid casters are commonly used in industries such as warehousing, manufacturing, retail, and logistics. They are suitable for heavy-duty applications and can support significant weight loads. Rigid casters are available in various sizes, materials, and load capacities to accommodate different requirements.

When selecting rigid casters for your specific application, it is important to consider factors such as load capacity, wheel material, mounting options, and overall durability. This will ensure that you choose the appropriate rigid casters that can effectively support your equipment or furniture while providing smooth and reliable movement.
