Fixed / Rigid Casters
Quick Answer: What Are Fixed & Rigid Casters?
Fixed and rigid casters are designed to provide straight-line movement, stability, and directional control for carts, machinery, industrial equipment, workbenches, and material handling systems. Unlike swivel casters, rigid casters remain locked in a fixed direction, helping improve tracking and load stability in demanding industrial and commercial applications. These durable industrial casters are commonly used alongside swivel casters to balance maneuverability and straight-line transport performance.
