Stem Casters

Introduction

Stem Casters are heavy‑duty wheel assemblies designed for industrial carts and equipment. Available in multiple tread options and a durable, metal‑free polymer housing, they deliver reliable performance on demanding workloads.

Features

• Tread options: resilient (black hard rubber), high modulus (black soft rubber), and polyurethane (grey) to suit different floors and load profiles.
• Housing: all-polymer construction with no metal, offering corrosion resistance and lighter weight.
• Load capacity: 800 lb per cart with resilient or high-modulus tread; up to 1,200 lb per cart with polyurethane tread or polymer housing.
• Mounting: stem-style casters sold individually for flexible, scalable cart configurations.
• Variant reference: the polyurethane caster is pictured as the example.
• Approximate specs: weight about 2.5 lb per caster; height around 5 in.
• Category: Metro Heavy-duty Stem Casters.

Benefits

These stem casters are built to support demanding industrial tasks while protecting floors and reducing maintenance. The resilient tread provides durability on clean, flat surfaces, the high-modulus tread offers quieter, steadier rolling on slightly uneven floors, and the polyurethane option balances high load capacity with wear resistance for busy environments.

The all-polymer housing minimizes corrosion risk and simplifies upkeep, making them a smart choice for humid spaces or frequent cleaning. Sold individually, they let you customize wheel types across a fleet or mix treads within a single cart to optimize load handling and maneuverability.

Ideal applications include warehouse carts, service trolleys in manufacturing settings, hospital or lab carts, and maintenance carts that require dependable rolling performance with straightforward maintenance.
