Benefits

Choose the right material to balance load, floor protection, and longevity. The 1200 lb capacity available with polyurethane wheels or all-polymer housings provides robust support for heavy carts, while the resilient and high modulus options offer different levels of impact resistance and floor comfort. An all-polymer housing reduces maintenance concerns in damp or corrosion-prone environments, making these casters a practical choice for industrial settings where metal components aren’t ideal. At 6 inches in height and 2.5 pounds per caster, they fit a wide range of cart frames without sacrificing stability.

Who this is ideal for: warehouses, maintenance carts, utility trolleys, and other heavy-duty applications that require dependable steering and floor-friendly wheels. How it compares to alternatives: these stem casters offer a metal-free housing option and material choices that let you tailor performance to your floor type and load, rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all wheel.
