If you’re building or refurbishing retail and light-duty carts, the 5 Inch Market Trolley Whee with Brake Kenya is the dependable, floor-friendly choice. It combines a quiet, non-marking TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) tread with a ball-bearing hub and a positive, toe-operated tread brake—giving you easy maneuverability, confident stopping, and long service life on Kenya’s most common indoor floors.
The grey TPR tyre rolls softly and quietly over ceramic tile, polished concrete, epoxy and terrazzo. Unlike harder plastics, TPR cushions small floor imperfections and protects surfaces from scuffs, making it ideal for supermarkets, pharmacies, showrooms, offices and back-of-house stock rooms. The 32 mm wide tread spreads the load to keep rolling resistance low while maintaining a compact footprint that turns easily in narrow aisles.
A stamped steel side/tread brake gives instant parking control. Step on to lock, lift to release. The mechanism presses a shoe on the wheel tread, preventing cart creep on level floors during loading, scanning or display resets.
The caster’s double-race swivel head with ball bearings delivers light steering effort even when the cart is fully loaded, while the ball-bearing wheel hub minimizes friction for an easy push at walking speed. Forks and top plate parts are zinc-plated steel to resist corrosion in normal indoor conditions. A secure M12 threaded stem (≈30 mm usable thread) with nut and washer makes installation fast on most trolley frames or stem sockets.
At 125 mm (5″) diameter, this wheel offers a practical balance: it climbs small thresholds and anti-theft floor grids more smoothly than 4″ wheels, yet remains low enough to keep trolley decks stable. Overall height is 155 mm, so you can directly replace existing 5″ casters without altering frame geometry.
This caster is rated 100 kg each. A standard four-wheel trolley can therefore support up to 400 kg in theory, but real-world floors are uneven and loads shift. We recommend planning for 60–70% of the theoretical total roughly 240–280 kg payload per trolley for longer bearing life and safer ergonomics. Fit two braked and two free-swivel casters (brakes mounted diagonally) for best parking stability and easy steering.
Where it excels
Market and supermarket trolleys
Light warehouse picking carts and stock replenishment carts
Hospitality service carts (housekeeping, banqueting)
Office moves, archive dollies and light equipment carts
Clinic/Pharma non-sterile zones where quiet, clean rolling matters

What to avoid
TPR is not a high-temperature compound, so it’s unsuitable for oven racks, steam rooms or hot-oil environments. For coastal outdoor use or chemical wash-downs, choose stainless or specialized wheels.
Conclusion
For quiet, clean and controlled movement in retail and light utility applications, the 5 Inch Swivel Caster with Brake (TPR, M12) delivers the essentials: smooth steering, floor protection and dependable on-foot braking—at a capacity that matches everyday cart workloads in Kenya.
