Stem Casters — Heavy-Duty Caster Wheels for Carts

Stem Casters deliver reliable, heavy-load mobility for carts and equipment, available in four material options to match floor conditions and payloads. Designed for industrial environments, these casters are built to handle demanding workloads with consistent performance.

Introduction

Ideal for warehouses, workshops, and service carts, Stem Casters come in resilient rubber, high-modulus rubber, polyurethane, and a polymer-housing variant. Each option is engineered to support tough applications while keeping your floors protected and your equipment moving smoothly. Pictured is the polyurethane version, known for balanced load capacity and durable rolling performance.

Features

• Material options: resilient (black hard rubber), high modulus (black soft rubber), polyurethane (grey), and a polymer housing (all polymer, no metal).
• Load capacities: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high-modulus rubber variants; 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer-housing variants.
• Overall height: 6 inches; weight is approximately 2.5 lb per caster.
• Finish and appearance: color and surface feel vary by material (black rubber, grey polyurethane).
• Brake option: braked variants are available for controlled movement on inclines or when stopping is necessary.
• Mounting: stem caster design for straightforward attachment to compatible carts and trolleys; suitable for Metro Heavy-duty Stem Caster applications.
• Availability: sold individually, SKU 6MPB.

Benefits

Why choose Stem Casters for your heavy carts?

• Tailored performance for floor conditions: rubber blends dampen shocks on rough or uneven floors, while polyurethane offers higher load support with quieter rolling on hard surfaces.
• Durable, corrosion-resistant construction: the polymer housing option eliminates metal contact, reducing corrosion risk and weight while delivering strong, long-lasting support.
• High payload capability without compromising mobility: the 800–1200 lb per cart range lets you outfit equipment carts, tool trolleys, and supply carts with confidence.
• Flexible braking configurations: choose braked variants when you need precise control and safer stopping in busy work environments.
• Versatile use cases: ideal for manufacturing lines, maintenance carts, and mobile service stations where dependable movement and easy maintenance matter.
• Simple replacement and maintenance: because these are sold individually, you can mix and match material types on different carts or replace a single worn caster without replacing an entire set.

Choose the stem caster variant that best fits your workflow—rubber for shock absorption on uneven floors, polyurethane for higher weight capacity with smooth, quiet rolling, or polymer housing for rugged durability and corrosion resistance. For a precise match, consider the weight you’re moving, floor conditions, and whether you need a braked option to secure equipment between uses.
