Stem Casters are a type of caster wheel that mounts to equipment using a stem rather than a mounting plate and makes them ideal for applications with limited mounting space available. They come in various stem types including threaded, grip ring, expanding rubber, and metal (square/round). Each stem module type is designed to fit different tubing or frame structures and allow for smooth mobility. Stem Casters are most commonly used on carts, furniture, and medical equipment. We offer stem casters with load capacities as small as 250 lbs and as strong as 1,500 lbs, with many pedal and foot brake options available.
We have a stem caster for any need and if you cannot find the right caster, please contact us directly (Call: 800-501-3808 / Email: sales@castercity.com) and we can help you find the perfect stem and caster for your application.
We offer a wide range of caster wheels designed for various use applications, including light-duty furniture, industrial machinery, and medical equipment and more to suit your unique or different mobility needs.
Total locking brakes are a popular choice when safety and stability. We offer brakes on both stem and plate casters. These brakes are designed to lock both the wheel and the swivel at the same time, so once they’re engaged, the caster won’t roll, pivot, or move.
Total locks are widely used in a variety of settings such as warehouses, medical facilities, food service environments, and even heavy duty industrial settings. They’re the perfect caster for mobile equipment that needs to be rolled into place and then stay firmly in position carts, racks, prep tables, or mobile workstations.
If you’re not sure what kind of brake or caster setup works best for your home or business needs, our Caster City sales team is here to help. With decades of experience, we’ll guide you to the right solution for your application and make sure you get exactly what you need for the job.
Stainless steel casters, offered in both plate and stem mounting styles, are built for use in wet, corrosive, or high-temperature environments where durability and cleanliness are critical. These casters are available in both 304 and 316 stainless steel—the former offering strong corrosion resistance for general industrial and food service use, and the latter providing superior protection against harsh chemicals and saltwater, making it ideal for marine and pharmaceutical applications. Designed to handle temperatures up to 450°F when paired with high-temp wheels and raceway seals, these casters perform reliably in extreme heat such as in autoclaves or commercial ovens.
Caster City’s stainless steel casters are built with longevity and performance in mind. Each unit includes a grease fitting in the swivel bearing for easy maintenance, protective seals, and a dust cover to guard internal components from contaminants. Whether you choose 304 for its broad utility or 316 for its maximum corrosion resistance, these casters ensure smooth, low-maintenance mobility in the most demanding conditions.
These industrial pneumatic casters feature air filled pneumatic wheels. These industrial casters are designed for low speed manually moved applications only. Air filled pneumatic wheels provide a cushioned ride, shock absorption and quiet operation. Pneumatic casters are ideally suited for moving fragile or delicate cargo where caster overall height is not critical. Casters with pneumatic wheels are usually the best choice for use outdoors over rough surfaces ( i.e. gravel ) or on grass. The wide footprint on 8″ or larger pneumatic wheels provides stability on gravel and does not sink into lawns.
Pneumatic casters and pneumatic wheels are also popular for indoor use in places such as hospitals, scientific and electronic laboratories, hotels, department stores and TV or movie studios.
Pneumatic wheels with black tires do not mark the floor as long as the wheel is allowed to roll. Changing directions without allowing a swivel caster to turn gradually around, or dragging a black rubber wheel sideways, can mark some floors.

If you manage an animal laboratory or kennel, you know that flooring needs to be tough and easy to clean. But did you know that the type of caster wheel you use can make a big difference in the durability and lifespan of your floor?
In this article, we will be looking at the best casters and caster wheels for these types of floors and explain why Caster City is the premiere source for caster wheels and accessories for Animal laboratories.
Casters are an important part of animal laboratories. They enable animals to be moved around easily and safely, and they can also be used to create a variety of different set-ups. By attaching casters to the bottom of cages or kennels, animals can be easily moved from one location to another without having to be lifted or carried. This is especially beneficial in situations where animals are too large or too heavy to be lifted safely.
Casters can also be used to create a mobile home for an animal. For example, they can be attached to the floor of a kennel or animal pen. This way, the animals can still be moved around easily, if necessary, but they will have a more stable home that they can return to each day. This is especially useful for animals that need to be moved around frequently, such as those in research facilities. By attaching casters to the bottom of an animal’s cage, the entire setup can be quickly and easily moved from one location to another.
Casters are used in animal laboratories on many pieces of equipment including kennel carts used to transport kennels, animal cages, exam and grooming tables. Caster City caster wheels allow for easy maneuverability of heavy equipment and make it possible to move animals around the laboratory with ease.
When choosing the best casters for your animal laboratory, there are a few factors to consider to ensure you are completely satisfied with your choice:
The type of flooring in your laboratory will dictate the type of caster you need. If you have a concrete or epoxy floor, you will need a caster that can roll smoothly over those surfaces. If your laboratory has grates, you will need a caster that can grip the grate surface in order to avoid slipping.
The weight of the equipment you plan to move is also an important consideration. Heavier equipment will require stronger casters that can support the weight without tipping over. With capacities ranging from 300 to 5,000 pounds per caster, we have just what you need to get the job done safely and efficiently.
Animal cage and rack washdown machines are high impact devices that can damage casters and caster wheels. Our casters are designed to withstand the high impact forces of these machines. Our casters are made from a high impact resistant polyurethane compound. Polyurethane is an elastomer material that has excellent impact resistance. It will flex and absorb the energy of impacts instead of transmitting it to the machine, which can cause costly damage.
Polyurethane caster wheels are also an excellent choice for kennel and animal lab floors because it provides both floor protection and long life. Polyurethane is a tough, durable material that can withstand the rigors of daily wash downs and withstand the weight of animals. Our welded disc polyurethane wheels are available in either four- or five-inch diameters.
Polyurethane caster wheels also offer the advantage of a quieter ride compared to a hard composition wheel like nylon or polyolefin. This matters when reducing the noise of the cages to reduce animal anxiety.
We use the highest quality materials and construction methods to ensure that our casters will last for years.
If you’re looking for casters that can stand up to the tough conditions of an animal lab or hospital, look no further than our selection of Delrin bearings, stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings, or stainless roller options. Our wheels are designed to resist corrosion and provide a smooth ride, even on concrete or epoxy floors with grates.
Animal research laboratories are constantly searching for ways to minimize the spread of infection and contamination. One area of concern is the casters used on carts and cages. Carts and cages equipped with casters can be easily moved around the laboratory, increasing the risk of spreading infection.Caster City’s Delrin bearings, stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings, and stainless-steel roller bearings are ideal for use in animal laboratories. These types of bearings are designed to resist corrosion and minimize the risk of contamination. Delrin bearings are made from a durable plastic that is easy to clean and disinfect. Stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings have a sealing mechanism that keeps out dirt, dust, and other contaminants. Stainless steel roller bearings are also resistant to corrosion and contamination.
The caster stem is the part of the caster wheel that connects the wheel to the base. The stem is important because it allows the wheel to rotate freely while still being attached to the base. Without the stem, the wheel would not be able to rotate and would be much more difficult to move.
At Caster City, our caster stems are made from high-quality materials that are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in a busy lab setting and are available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your specific needs.
If you’re looking for a caster that can handle the unique demands of an animal laboratory, you’ve come to the right place. Our selection of polyurethane caster wheels, corrosive resistant ball bearings, and caster stems are perfect animal laboratories and kennels. When it comes to choosing the right caster stem for your animal laboratory, Caster City has everything you need. Our high-quality products, wide selection, and competitive prices make us the perfect partner for all your lab equipment needs. So call us today and let us help you find the perfect solution for your needs.
