Why are the back wheels of warehouse/delivery cages in a fixed position?

1.29K views

So I work in a shop and we get our deliveries on those massive warehouse cages. It’s always annoying trying to move these cages around because the back wheels are fixed and don’t turn, only the front wheels turn.

Why are they designed like this?

Like fixed versus swiveling? This is likely due to the fact that it’s a whole lot easier to move them over distances in a straight line with two fixed wheels. It’s a trade off. A little bit of maneuverability for ease of straight line travel.
