Stem Casters — Heavy-Duty, Antimicrobial Options for Metro Carts

Introduction

Stem Casters are rugged, stem-mounted wheels designed to upgrade carts with dependable mobility and solid load support. Available in four material options—including polymer housing with antimicrobial surfaces—these casters are ideal for industrial, healthcare, and facility environments where durability and hygiene matter.

Features

• Material options: resilient black hard rubber, high modulus black soft rubber, grey polyurethane, and all-polymer housing (no metal).
• Load capacity: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high modulus variants; up to 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer variants.
• Finish and construction: polymer finish with antimicrobial properties for easier cleaning and improved hygiene.
• Dimensions: 5 in height with an approximate weight of 2 lb per caster.
• Mounting: stem design for secure, straightforward installation on compatible carts.
• Range within Metro Super Adjustable Casters family; casters sold individually.
• Brake option available with antimicrobial surfaces to support controlled rolling where needed.

Benefits

• Choose the right balance of comfort and protection: hard rubber for durability on rough floors, soft rubber for quieter operation, and polyurethane for higher weight capacity and smoother rolling.
• Higher load capacity options (1200 lb) reduce the need for frequent replacements when transporting heavy equipment or inventory.
• Antimicrobial finish helps maintain cleaner carts in environments where sanitation is important, such as clinics, labs, and food-service areas.
• Polymer housing offers corrosion resistance and simplifies cleaning, contributing to lower maintenance over time.
• Versatile, stem-mounted design makes upgrading existing carts straightforward, with compatibility across the Metro Super Adjustable Casters line.
• Practical use cases include service carts in hospitals, janitorial trolleys, warehouse racking carts, and lab equipment carts where reliability and hygiene are priorities.
