Stem Casters

Introduction

Stem Casters are heavy‑duty wheel assemblies designed for carts and mobile equipment. Available in four material options—resilient black hard rubber, high modulus black soft rubber, grey polyurethane, and a full polymer housing—the lineup lets you choose the right balance of load, floor friendliness, and longevity. The polyurethane variant is pictured to illustrate the grey wheel finish and robust performance.

Features

• Material options: resilient (black hard rubber), high modulus (black soft rubber), polyurethane (grey), and all-polymer housing (no metal).
• Load capacity: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high modulus options; 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer housing casters.
• Wheel finish: polyurethane (grey) for durable wear and smooth rolling.
• Housing: all polymer housing provides corrosion resistance and lighter weight without sacrificing strength.
• Size and weight: overall height 6 in; individual caster weight around 2.5 lb.
• Brake option: available to secure carts when stationary.
• Sold individually; part of the Metro Super Adjustable Casters family; SKU 6MPB.

Benefits

Choose the material that best fits your environment and load requirements: resilient rubber for rough floors and impact absorption, high modulus rubber for quieter operation with good load support, polyurethane for heavier carts with smoother movement and floor protection, or a polymer housing for corrosion‑resistant, metal‑free performance. The higher 1200 lb rating for polyurethane and polymer options makes these ideal for demanding carts and equipment in warehouses, workshops, and healthcare or hospitality settings.

With a metal‑free polymer housing option, maintenance is simplified and cleaning is easier, especially in environments where corrosion resistance matters. Being sold individually allows you to tailor a mixed fleet—matching each cart to its specific task for optimized safety and efficiency. The combination of standard stem mounting, a reputable finish, and the option for brakes makes these casters a practical upgrade over simple, single‑material wheels.
