3 Inch Caster Wheels - Multiple Styles Available

The load capacity of a 3 inch caster wheel varies depending on the caster's design, wheel material, and configuration. Options range from light-duty ratings suitable for furniture applications to medium-duty capacities for medical equipment. To ensure you select the right caster for your specific load requirements, Humphries Casters' technical specialists can evaluate your needs and recommend the appropriate specification. Contact them at 800.733.4758 for a personalized consultation.

3 inch caster wheels are available in several locking configurations: non-locking (free rolling), swivel only, brake only (stops wheel rotation while allowing swiveling), and total lock (immobilizes both wheel rotation and swivel movement). Total lock casters are especially popular for hospital beds and medical equipment where complete, secure positioning is required.

3 inch caster wheels are offered in multiple wheel materials including standard rubber, thermoplastic rubber (TPR), synthetic rubber, pneumatic (air-filled or foam-filled), and polyurethane. Thermoplastic rubber and synthetic rubber are particularly well-suited for medical and healthcare environments due to their non-marking, quiet operation, and chemical resistance properties.
