MetroMax Q Stem Casters

Engineered for MetroMax systems, these stem casters deliver reliable mobility in challenging environments. Ideal for carts, shelves, and trolleys that operate where humidity or chemicals are present, they offer a choice between a polymer option and a more robust resilient version.

Features

• Polymer casters with no exposed metal parts, designed to resist corrosion in humid and toxic environments
• Capacity: 300 lb per caster for the polymer version
• Resilient casters with metal hubs for higher load capacity: up to 800 lb per caster
• Q stem compatibility for quick, secure installation on MetroMax components
• Finish: Stainless Steel for enhanced durability and cleanability
• Weight: 3 lb per caster
• SKU: 5MPBXGSA

Benefits

The polymer variant prioritizes corrosion resistance and cleanability, making it a smart choice for laboratories, chemical handling areas, and humid storage rooms where exposed metal could corrode. With a 300 lb per-caster rating, it supports light- to medium-duty carts and shelving with smooth, quiet movement.

For heavier loads or more rugged use, the resilient version adds a metal hub to deliver up to 800 lb per caster, expanding your options without sacrificing mobility. The stainless steel finish enhances durability and simplifies sanitization, an advantage in facilities that require strict cleanliness.

Designed for ease, the Q stem design ensures a secure fit to MetroMax frames, reducing installation time and minimizing wobble on uneven floors. This family of casters helps protect floors from damage with smooth rolling and controlled handling, improving workflow efficiency in fast-paced environments.

Ideal For

• Laboratories, clinics, and chemical processing areas where humidity or exposure to chemicals is a concern
• Industrial carts, shelving units, and mobile workstations that require reliable, low-maintenance mobility
• Facilities prioritizing sanitation and ease of cleaning thanks to a stainless steel finish

How It Compares and Practical Tips

Compared to general-purpose casters, MetroMax Q Stem Casters are engineered to withstand harsh environments and provide options tailored to your load needs. Use the polymer version for lighter workloads and environments where metal exposure is a concern; opt for the resilient version when mobility must support heavier equipment or frequent repositioning.

Practical tips: verify the total weight of your load, distribute weight evenly, and choose the caster variant that aligns with your environment (corrosion risk, required load, and maintenance preferences). Regularly inspect the stem fit and wheel condition to maintain smooth motion and extend caster life.
