Stem Casters

Stem Casters are purpose-built wheels designed for equipment and carts that use hollow bottom posts. Available in four material options and built with a polymer housing, they deliver reliable mobility and strong load support for industrial environments.

Key Features

• Wheel materials: resilient (black hard rubber), high modulus (black soft rubber), polyurethane (grey). The polyurethane option is pictured above.
• Housing: all polymer housing (no metal), providing corrosion resistance and quieter operation.
• Load capacity: 800 lb per cart for resilient and high modulus wheels; 1200 lb per cart for polyurethane and polymer housing variants.
• Post compatibility: fits 1" diameter hollow bottom posts.
• Mounting: casters are sold individually for flexible replacement and customization.
• Dimensions: height approximately 5 inches.
• Product identity: SKU 5LD, categorized under Metro Stem Casters.

Benefits & Use Cases

These stem casters simplify retrofitting and maintenance by offering strong, predictable performance across a range of loads. The polymer-housing variants maximize durability in environments where metal components are prone to corrosion, while the rubber wheels—resilient and high modulus—provide a balanced ride on varied floor surfaces. With a 1" hollow post fit, they are ideal for metro-style carts, tool trolleys, lab carts, and maintenance carts commonly used in warehouses, workshops, and facilities.

Why choose each option?

• Resilient (black hard rubber): economical option with solid load support for moderate-durability needs.
• High modulus (black soft rubber): improved deflection resistance and smoother roll under heavier use.
• Polyurethane (grey): highest load capacity with excellent wear resistance and floor protection for busier, heavier-duty applications.
• Polymer housing (no metal): maximum corrosion resistance and long-term stability in harsh environments.

Practical tips for best results: verify your cart uses 1" hollow bottom posts, match the wheel material to your floor and weight requirements, and replace casters in pairs to maintain even loading and maneuverability. Sold individually, Stem Casters let you customize cart performance piece by piece for optimal workflow and longevity.
