Stem Casters for 1" Posts — Metro Stem Casters (Resilient, High Modulus, Polyurethane, and Polymer Housing)

Stem Casters are versatile wheels designed to retrofit mobile carts and workstations with 1" diameter hollow bottom posts. Available in four material options, they balance load capacity, durability, and smooth movement, making them a practical upgrade for industrial carts, tool chests, and workstations.

Features

• Materials & finishes: Resilient (black hard rubber), High Modulus (black soft rubber), Polyurethane (grey), and Polymer housing (all polymer, not metal).
• Load capacity: 800 lb per caster for resilient and high modulus variants; 1200 lb per caster for polyurethane and polymer housing variants.
• Post compatibility: Fits 1" diameter hollow bottom posts (easy retrofitting to many common cart frames).
• Size & weight: Approximately 2.5 lb per caster and about 5 inches tall.
• Installation & usage: Sold individually; you can mix materials to tailor performance per cart.
• Reference model: The polyurethane version is shown in product images.
• Catalog info: Category: Metro Stem Casters; SKU: 5MDGSA.

Benefits

Choosing the right stem caster can extend the life of your equipment and improve workflow. These options offer precise matchups for different environments and workloads:

• Maximize load handling: For high-use carts, the polyurethane and polymer housing variants provide up to 1200 lb per caster, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Enhanced mobility on varied floors: Rubber variants deliver grip and shock absorption on rough or uneven surfaces, improving control and reducing operator fatigue.
• Corrosion resistance & easy maintenance: The all-polymer housing option eliminates metal components, simplifying cleaning and standing up to damp environments.
• Flexible configurations: Since each caster is sold individually, you can tailor wheel material and capacity to each cart or outfit a mixed fleet for different tasks.
• Simple retrofit: The 1" post fit streamlines upgrades without altering frame geometry.
