Products Description

 

The 5 inch rigid caster is a fixed mobility solution engineered for shopping carts, hand trolleys, and material handling equipment. With an 80kg load capacity per caster and rigid construction for straight-line tracking, this caster provides reliable support with stable, controlled rolling performance - essential for applications where directional stability and secure attachment are priorities.


The impact on your daily operations: When shopping carts and hand trolleys need to move in straight lines for transport, loading, or positioning, rigid casters provide the directional stability that swivel casters cannot. By eliminating unwanted swiveling, rigid casters keep carts tracking straight - reducing effort for operators and improving safety during transport. The mounting plate with hollow kingpin (φ12.5) attachment provides secure, reliable installation - allowing the caster to be bolted or riveted firmly to the cart frame. The TPR wheel delivers quiet, non-marking rolling with excellent shock absorption, protecting floors and reducing noise in supermarkets and commercial environments. The 125mm diameter with 32mm width provides good load distribution and rolling efficiency.


The TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) tread offers an optimal balance of quiet operation, floor protection, and rolling efficiency. TPR is widely recognized as one of the best materials for shopping cart and commercial applications - it is soft enough to protect floors and reduce noise, yet durable enough to withstand daily use in busy supermarkets. Unlike hard plastic wheels that can mark floors or create noise, TPR provides non-marking performance and a smooth rolling experience. The single-disc, dual-disc, and three-disc elevator/travelator wheel options are available for shopping carts used on escalators and moving walkways - providing stable engagement with travelator tracks. Optional PU wheels are available for applications requiring enhanced wear resistance.


Available with mounting plate (50 × 30.5mm) and hollow kingpin (φ12.5) attachment for secure installation using bolts or rivets. Available in 4″ and 5″ diameters with PU and TPR wheel options, plus single-disc, dual-disc, and three-disc elevator/travelator wheel configurations. The rigid (fixed) design ensures straight-line tracking - making this 5 inch rigid caster the ideal choice for shopping carts, hand trolleys, and material handling applications.

FAQ

 

Q1: What is the load capacity of this 5 inch rigid caster?

A: This 5 inch rigid caster has a load capacity of 80 kg per caster. For shopping carts or hand trolleys with four casters, the total capacity is 320 kg. However, please note that the effective load per caster should be calculated as Total Load ÷ 3 (allowing for uneven weight distribution) rather than Total Load ÷ 4.

Q2: What is the difference between a rigid caster and a swivel caster?

A: A rigid caster (featured here) rolls only in a straight line - providing stable, controlled movement and eliminating unwanted swiveling. A swivel caster rotates 360° - offering maneuverability and steering capability. For shopping carts and hand trolleys, rigid casters are typically used on the rear for tracking and stability, while swivel casters are used on the front for steering. This combination provides both maneuverability and directional control.

Q3: What is the mounting method for this caster?

A: This caster uses a mounting plate with hollow kingpin attachment - the mounting plate (50 × 30.5mm) provides a flat surface for secure attachment, while the hollow kingpin (φ12.5 hole) allows for bolt or rivet installation through the center. This design combines the stability of a mounting plate with the flexible attachment of a hollow kingpin - providing secure, reliable installation for shopping carts and hand trolleys.

Q4: What are the available wheel options for this caster?

A: This caster series is available with multiple wheel options: TPR - standard option offering quiet, non-marking operation with floor protection; PU - excellent wear resistance and floor protection; Single-Disc Elevator Wheel - for shopping carts used on travelators (single disc engagement); Dual-Disc Elevator Wheel - for standard shopping cart travelator applications (dual disc engagement); Three-Disc Elevator Wheel - for enhanced stability on travelators (three disc engagement). Choose based on your application requirements.

Q5: What is an elevator wheel and how does it work?

A: An elevator wheel (also known as a travelator caster) features discs (feeler discs) that engage with the grooves on escalators and moving walkways. When the shopping cart moves onto a travelator, the discs drop into the grooves - locking the running wheel and ensuring the cart remains stable and secure during transport. This design prevents the cart from slipping or rolling unexpectedly, providing safety for both customers and store staff. Single-disc, dual-disc, and three-disc configurations are available for different cart designs and stability requirements.

Q6: What equipment is this 5 inch rigid caster suitable for?

A: This 5 inch rigid caster is suitable for: Shopping carts - supermarket trolleys and retail carts (rear position); Hand trolleys - manual hand trucks and dollies (rear position); Material handling equipment - platform trucks and transfer carts (rear position); Warehouse equipment - warehouse carts and trolleys (rear position).

Q7: Is this a steel caster?

A: This caster features a TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) wheel with a zinc-plated steel bracket - the bracket is made of steel for structural strength and durability. For applications requiring stainless steel casters or specific metal wheels, please contact our sales team for alternative configurations.

Q8: Is this caster suitable for office chair applications?

A: This caster is specifically designed for shopping carts, hand trolleys, and material handling applications with an 80kg load capacity and 125mm wheel diameter. While it can be used on heavy furniture, it may be over-specified for standard office chairs. For office chair applications requiring mobility, we recommend our furniture caster series with optimized sizes and load capacities. Please contact our sales team for appropriate product recommendations based on your specific application.

Q9: What are the available sizes for this caster series?

A: This caster series is available in 4-inch and 5-inch diameters. The 5-inch option (featured here) offers the best balance of load capacity, rolling efficiency, and load height (155mm) for most shopping cart and hand trolley applications. The 4-inch option is suitable for applications requiring lower load height or compact size.

Q10: What is the difference between Axle Hole and Ball Bearing options?

A: Axle Hole is a simple bearing design where the wheel rotates directly on the axle - cost-effective and suitable for light to moderate loads with occasional use. Ball Bearing uses precision ball bearings to provide smoother rolling with reduced friction - ideal for applications requiring frequent movement, smoother operation, and longer service life. Choose Axle Hole for cost-sensitive applications; choose Ball Bearing for enhanced performance and durability.

Q11: What certifications does Xingteng hold?

A: Xingteng holds ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management certification, TUV Product Certification for multiple product series, and RoHS 2.0 environmental compliance. We are also a recognized AA-level "Contract-Honoring and Credit-Worthy Enterprise" in Zhejiang Province.

Q12: What is the typical lead time for this 5 inch rigid caster?

A: Standard lead time is typically 20-45 days depending on order quantity, wheel material selection, bearing option, and size specification. For urgent requirements, please contact our sales team for expedited options. Large-volume orders may require additional lead time - we will confirm exact timing at the time of order placement.
