High-Temperature Autoclave Stem Casters

Engineered for sterile environments, these stem casters are designed to endure autoclave cycles while keeping lab carts, medical carts, and research equipment mobile. Ideal for laboratories, hospital sterilization areas, and clean rooms that require frequent heat sterilization.

Features

• Up to 300°F (149°C) heat tolerance for repeated autoclave use.
• Material options: High-Temp Nylon (TN) and High-Temp Phenolic (TP) to match different chemical exposures and wear needs.
• Swivel stem construction for agile maneuverability in tight workspaces.
• Footprint width: 5 inches to fit common cart frames and trolleys.
• Product category: Metro High-Temperature Autoclave Stem Casters (SKU: 5MHTP).

Benefits

These autoclave-ready stem casters enable you to move heavy or sensitive equipment through sterilization cycles without removing it from its cart, saving time and reducing handling steps. The 300°F rating helps prevent caster degradation during steam cleaning, while the choice between TN and TP variants lets you tailor performance to your environment—Nylon for smoother rolling and impact resistance, or Phenolic for enhanced heat and chemical resistance.

Who it’s ideal for: technicians and operators in laboratories, hospital sterilization units, manufacturing cleanrooms, and any setting that requires reliable, heat-tolerant mobility for in-situ sterilization.

Use cases: transporting instrument carts near autoclaves, relocating lab benches during decontamination, or moving research gear that must endure repeated heat cycles.

Practical tips: confirm load ratings align with your cart weight, ensure proper mounting on compatible stems, and inspect casters after extended autoclave use. If you frequently encounter harsh chemicals, opt for the TP variant for extra chemical resistance.
