Metro Heavy-Duty Stem Casters — Four Material Options for High-Load Carts

Metro Heavy-Duty Stem Casters offer reliable mobility for heavy carts, with material options tailored to floor type, load, and environment. Choose the right caster to improve flow, reduce effort, and extend cart life.

Features

• Material options: Resilient (black hard rubber), High Modulus (black soft rubber), Polyurethane (grey), and Polymer housing (all polymer, no metal).
• Load capacity: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high-modulus versions; 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer housing versions.
• Dimensions: Overall height 6 in; depth 2.25 in.
• Construction: Stem-mounted, heavy-duty design with a polymer housing option that avoids metal components.
• Placement: Sold individually and categorized under Metro Heavy-duty Stem Casters for quick replacement on existing carts.

Benefits

These casters are designed to match your workload and floor type without overpromising. The resilient (hard rubber) version cushions impacts and handles rough floors, helping carts glide more smoothly over uneven surfaces. The high-modulus (soft rubber) variant provides steadier rolling with solid weight support for heavier loads on less forgiving floors. Polyurethane casters deliver standout wear resistance and dependable load capacity up to 1200 lb, making them ideal for busy cart lines and repeated trips. The polymer housing option removes metal from the equation, offering a corrosion-resistant, metal-free alternative for sensitive environments.

Practical use scenarios include moving heavy tool carts in manufacturing floors, service carts in maintenance stations, supply carts in hospitals or labs, and educational or facility carts that require durable, reliable mobility. Because these are stem casters, upgrading or replacing existing wheels is straightforward, helping you minimize downtime and keep teams productive.

Who this is ideal for: facilities with heavy cart workloads, floor surfaces ranging from concrete to tile, and environments where floor protection, durability, and ease of maintenance matter most.
