If your bakery racks, curing ovens, or smokehouse trolleys struggle with melted rubber wheels and unexpected downtime, our Plastic Heat Resistant Castor 3 inch is the purpose-built upgrade Kenyan manufacturers trust. Engineered from a phenolic-resin plastic used in aerospace brake pads, this caster keeps rolling smoothly in temperatures that would deform conventional PU or rubber.
During on-site trials in Kenya, operators reported 35 % less wheel replacement and noticeably better steering after six months of continuous 220 °C use. The secret is our dense, heat-settled phenolic matrix that resists flat-spotting and maintains dimensional stability even under stop-and-go loads.
At just 100 mm overall height, the 3-inch profile lowers your trolley’s centre of gravity, reducing tip-over risk while still carrying 70 kg per wheel—ample for standard sheet-pan racks or laboratory carts. A precision-pressed swivel raceway distributes the load evenly across hardened steel balls, minimising push effort for staff on long production lines.

What to check for when buying your next castor wheel.
| Step | What to Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Calculate Load | (Weight of trolley + contents) × 1.3 safety ÷ wheels | Allows for uneven floors & operator pushes. |
| 2. Confirm Temperature Peaks | Continuous temp vs. 10-min spikes | Phenolic can handle 300 °C spikes, but prolonged 320 °C may require ceramic wheels. |
| 3. Inspect Floor Surface | Smooth stainless, tiled, or concrete? | Hard phenolic rolls best on smooth, debris-free floors. |
| 4. Swivel vs. Rigid Mix | 2 swivel + 2 rigid = best control | Pure swivel sets turn easily but can fishtail on long runs. |
| 5. Mounting Hardware | Match plate slots to M8–M10 bolts | Keeps installation hassle-free; avoid self-tapping screws in hot zones. |
