• Weight capacities: 800 lbs per cart for resilient and high modulus variants; 1200 lbs per cart for polyurethane and polymer variants.
• Overall height: 5 inches per caster.
• Weight: approximately 2 lbs per caster.
• Finish: polyurethane option is rigid, with a grey appearance; polymer housing variant uses an all-polymer construction for corrosion resistance.

Benefits

Choosing the right stem caster directly impacts mobility, safety, and floor care in heavy-load applications. The polyurethane variant offers strong load support with smoother, quieter rolling and enhanced floor protection on hard surfaces, making it ideal for high-usage carts in warehouses and maintenance areas. The polymer housing option adds corrosion resistance and easier cleaning for damp or washdown environments, without sacrificing strength. For tougher floors or vibration damping, the resilient and high modulus options provide durable performance, while still delivering reliable maneuverability under load.

Ideal applications include equipment carts, tool carts, shelving units, maintenance trolleys, and service carts that require dependable movement across concrete, tile, or epoxy floors. With four material choices and a per-cart capacity of up to 1200 lbs, these stems offer versatile solutions that adapt to environmental needs and workload demands. Casters are sold individually, allowing you to outfit carts precisely to your configuration.
