Stem Casters

Stem Casters are rugged, heavy-duty wheels designed to keep carts, trolleys, and duty-grade equipment moving smoothly. They come in multiple compounds to match floor conditions and load requirements, with capacities ranging from 800 lb per cart to 1200 lb per cart. The pictured option shows the grey polyurethane variant, and this line-up is part of the Metro Heavy-duty Stem Casters family.

Features

• Material options: resilient black hard rubber, high modulus black soft rubber, grey polyurethane, and an all-polymer housing (no metal)
• Weight capacity: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high-modulus rubber; 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer housing
• Overall height: 5 inches
• Sold individually, enabling precise customization of your cart’s wheel setup
• Corrosion-resistant, maintenance-friendly polymer housing option
• Ideal for warehouses, workshops, maintenance carts, and industrial trolleys

Benefits

Designed to maximize mobility while protecting floors and reducing downtime, these stem casters adapt to a range of environments. Each material option offers a distinct balance of grip, noise, and wear resistance, so you can choose the best match for your operations:

• Resilient hard rubber provides robust impact resistance for rough floors and frequent payload changes
• High modulus soft rubber reduces rolling noise and minimizes floor markings on sensitive surfaces
• Grey polyurethane delivers high load capacity with excellent wear resistance for high-traffic routes
• All-polymer housing offers corrosion resistance and easier cleaning, ideal for damp or chemical-adjacent spaces

Use cases include swapping out worn casters on heavy carts, assembling mixed-material tool carts for a production line, or outfitting service carts in maintenance areas. The option to order individual casters means you can tailor capacity and material to each cart without replacing the entire wheel set.
