Hi all,
Is there such a thing as fixed (non-swivel) casters for scaffolding? Where could one buy them?

@Joshualangman Yes and no depending upon your goals: During my apprenticeship we used what were referred to as "hay wagon style" wheels while installing high-bay lighting in a facility where pre-cast concrete structures were to be built. At the point we were working, they were months away from pouring floor slabs but were beginning to install internal rail lines the length of the building. The "hay wagon" wheels were approximately 30" diameter pneumatic car tires on steel rims with a parallel, non swivelling, pair on one end and a tie-rod equipped steerable pair on the opposite end. For months I pushed four or five standard sections of five by seven scaffold along the length of the building with my journeyman on top installing conduit, junction boxes, pulling in TW and eventually hanging hi-bay lighting fixtures.Hi all,

@Joshualangman What's the anticipated length of travel in terms of distance end to end NOT how many days or weeks and what sort of rolling weight do you anticipate?Thanks, Van and Ron. This is for a scaffolding set piece that is moved by actors. The set piece tracks upstage/downstage between two platforms on either side, and the swiveling wheels keep colliding with the platforms (there's not enough clearance for them to turn). We want to be able to lock the wheels so they can only move along one axis.
