Stem Casters

Stem Casters are heavy-duty wheels designed for carts that demand dependable mobility and long-lasting performance. Available in four wheel materials to suit floor conditions and load needs, they’re a core choice in the Metro Heavy-duty Stem Casters line.

Features

• Wheel materials: resilient (black hard rubber), high modulus (black soft rubber), polyurethane (grey). Each option is selected to balance floor contact, shock absorption, and wear for different environments.
• Housing: all-polymer construction (no metal), offering corrosion resistance and quieter operation on busy shop floors.
• Load capacity (per cart): 800 lb for resilient and high-modulus wheels; 1200 lb for polyurethane wheels and polymer-housing variants.
• Size and weight: approximately 2.5 lb per caster with a 5-inch height, designed for versatile cart builds.
• Pictured variant: the polyurethane wheel is shown to illustrate the grey wheel option.
• Quantity: casters are sold individually, enabling precise per-cart configuration.

Benefits

These stem casters are built to meet real-world demands across industrial, hospitality, and healthcare environments. The material options let you tailor ride quality, floor protection, and wear resistance to your load and surface.

• Optimized for floor conditions: choose resilient rubber for rugged floors, high modulus rubber for smoother rolling with good vibration control, or polyurethane for wear resistance on high-use carts.
• Durable and low-maintenance: the all-polymer housing resists corrosion and reduces maintenance needs in humid or wash-down settings.
• Versatile and scalable: sold individually, making it easy to mix materials and create the perfect wheel configuration for tools, carts, and trolleys.
• Ideal use cases: warehouse carts, industrial trolleys, workshop tool carts, and medical or service carts where dependable mobility matters.
• Practical guidance: for maximum load with longevity, pair polyurethane (grey) wheels for higher capacity and wear resistance; rely on resilient or high-modulus rubber when you need robust shock absorption on unforgiving floors.
