Stem Casters for 1 in Diameter Hollow Bottom Posts – Resilient, High Modulus, Polyurethane, and Polymer Housing

Stem Casters convert standard carts or platforms with 1 in diameter hollow bottom posts into mobile, load-ready workstations. Available in four elastomer options, they let you tailor weight capacity, ride feel, and floor protection to your specific tasks.

Features

• Elastomer options: resilient (black hard rubber), high modulus (black soft rubber), polyurethane (grey), and a polymer housing (all polymer, no metal).
• Weight capacity: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high modulus variants; 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer housing variants.
• Fitment: designed to fit 1 in diameter hollow bottom posts; casters sold individually. The polyurethane version is pictured.
• Construction and finish: polymer housing offers corrosion resistance and lighter weight; high modulus variants provide a rigid, stable roll.
• Dimensions: height 5 in; approx. 1.25 lb per caster; finish noted as high modulus rigid.
• Product details: Category — Metro Stem Casters; SKU — 5MDRA.

Benefits

Selecting the right stem caster ensures reliable mobility under real-world loads and varying floor conditions:

• Maximize payload flexibility: choose polyurethane or polymer housing for the highest per-caster capacity (1200 lb), ideal for heavy carts and equipment carts that require steady, secure transport.
• Tailored ride and floor impact: hard rubber variants absorb impact on rough or uneven floors, while high modulus variants reduce rolling effort and protect delicate floor surfaces on everyday shop floors.
• Easy upgrades and customization: stems fit 1 in diameter hollow posts and casters are sold individually, making it simple to mix materials for different tasks or swap out worn units without replacing entire carts.
• Low maintenance and durable in diverse environments: polymer housing offers corrosion resistance for damp or humid areas, extending caster life in shared workshop spaces.
• Ideal use cases: workshops, warehouses, and maintenance carts that demand dependable mobility with configurable load handling.
