Stem Casters — Heavy-Duty, Non-Metal Caster Solutions

Introduction

Stem Casters are purpose-built wheels for utility carts, equipment trolleys, and service carts, offering reliable load support and smooth movement. Available in four material variants to match floor surfaces and payloads, they’re sold individually for flexible configurations within the Metro Super Adjustable Casters line.

Features

• Material variants: resilient black hard rubber; high modulus black soft rubber; grey polyurethane; and a polymer housing (all-polymer, no metal).
• Load capacities: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high-modulus versions; 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer-housing versions.
• Dimensions and build: 6-inch height; rigid stem mount; weight approximately 2.5 lb per caster.
• Finish and construction: polyurethane finish available on the grey polyurethane variant; polymer housing offers corrosion resistance in damp environments.
• Availability: casters are sold individually; part of the Metro Super Adjustable Casters family; SKU 6MPR.

Benefits

Choosing the right stem caster improves cart stability, floor protection, and maneuverability across settings. The four material options address different needs:

• Resilient rubber (hard): excellent high-impedance load support on smooth floors while minimizing floor marking.
• High-modulus rubber (soft black): better vibration dampening for precision equipment carts without sacrificing load capacity.
• Grey polyurethane: highest load rating (1200 lb) with robust wear resistance for heavy-duty carts in busy warehouses or manufacturing floors.
• All-polymer housing: corrosion- and moisture-resistant option ideal for damp environments, with the same 1200 lb capacity.

Ideal for warehouses, maintenance rooms, labs, and hospital supply carts, these stem casters offer predictable performance across repeated cycles. They’re particularly useful when you need to balance load, floor protection, and ease of rolling in tight spaces.
