Stem Casters

Introduction

Stem Casters are purpose-built wheels designed for Metro Super Erecta Pro carts, offering flexible material options to match different floors and workloads. Sold individually, they let you tailor mobility and load support to your shelving configuration.

Features

• Material options: resilient (black hard rubber), high modulus (black soft rubber), polyurethane (grey), and polymer housing (all polymer, no metal).
• Weight capacity: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high modulus variants; 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer variants.
• Color cues align with material: black for rubber options, grey for polyurethane; housing remains polymer.
• Pictured option: polyurethane caster is shown to illustrate the high-capacity choice.
• Each caster is sold individually; SKU 5MDBA; category: Metro Super Erecta Pro Stem Casters.

Benefits

Choosing the right stem caster improves cart stability, protects floors, and enhances maneuverability in busy environments. The material you select directly influences ride quality and durability: • Resilient (hard rubber) handles tougher floors with solid impact resistance. • High modulus (soft rubber) offers reliable durability with smoother rolling on uneven surfaces. • Polyurethane (grey) delivers higher load capacity and robust abrasion resistance for demanding carts. • Polymer housing removes metal components, reducing corrosion risk and simplifying cleaning in sanitary or wet settings.

Use Cases and Practical Tips

• Ideal for Metro Super Erecta Pro shelving systems in kitchens, warehouses, labs, and service areas where modular carts are common.
• Match load weight to caster choice: opt 800 lb variants for lighter heavy-duty carts; choose 1200 lb variants for high-load applications.
• Consider floor type when selecting material: harder rubber options resist wear on rough surfaces; softer rubber or polyurethane can offer quieter, smoother movement on finished floors.
• Maintenance tip: inspect casters for wear and ensure the stem diameter matches your cart; replace individual casters as needed to maintain even performance.
