Product Features

• White Polypropylene (PP) Wheel: The wheel is molded from rigid, lightweight PP in a clean white finish. PP offers good impact strength, resistance to common household chemicals, and a non‑marking tread that protects floors. The white color is often chosen for light‑colored furniture or applications where a discreet appearance is desired.

• 2‑Inch Diameter: A compact size that keeps the overall height low, allowing furniture to maintain its original look while adding mobility.

• M10×15 Screw Top Mounting: The caster features a threaded stem (M10 diameter, 15 mm thread length) for quick installation into pre‑drilled or pre‑threaded sockets. This type of mounting is common in furniture legs, tubular frames, and trolley bases.

• No Bearings (Plain Bore): The wheel rotates directly on a hardened steel axle or sleeve bushing without additional ball bearings. This simplifies the design, reduces cost, and is sufficient for light‑duty, intermittent use where extremely low rolling resistance is not critical.

• Side Brake System: A lever positioned on the side of the caster housing allows the user to easily lock the wheel rotation. The brake is typically operated by hand or toe, and it disengages with a light touch. It locks only the wheel, leaving the swivel free for repositioning when unlocked.

• Light‑Duty Construction: The caster frame and hardware are made from steel with a corrosion‑resistant finish (e.g., zinc‑plated), rated for light loads such as residential furniture or small trolleys.

Functional Purpose

• Simple Mobility for Light Furniture: The primary purpose is to enable easy movement of furniture and light trolleys for cleaning, rearranging, or daily use. The screw‑top mounting provides a secure, permanent attachment without requiring additional plates or tools.

• Convenient Parking Brake: The side brake allows the user to lock the wheel quickly, preventing unintended rolling. This is essential for furniture that must stay stationary during use (e.g., office chairs, step stools) or trolleys that need to be parked securely on an incline.

• Cost‑Effective Solution: By using a plain bore instead of bearings, the caster offers reliable performance for light‑duty applications at a lower price point, making it suitable for mass‑produced furniture or budget‑conscious projects.

• Floor Protection: The white PP wheel is non‑marking and does not scuff or discolor floors, which is especially important for light‑colored flooring or sensitive surfaces like hardwood and laminate.

Ideal Applications

• Office Furniture: Well‑suited for task chairs, rolling file cabinets, mobile printer stands, and small conference tables where side brakes provide stability while seated.

• Residential Furniture: Commonly used on ottomans, upholstered stools, children’s toy chests, step stools, and light shelving units that are moved occasionally.

• Light‑Duty Trolleys: Perfect for kitchen carts, serving trolleys, laundry carts, and small utility trolleys used in homes, restaurants, or retail settings.

• Retail Displays: Suitable for portable display stands, mannequin bases, and kiosks where a discreet appearance and easy repositioning are valued.

• Institutional Furniture: Found in dormitory furniture, movable podiums, or lightweight AV stands where simple installation and reliable braking are required.
