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.
Caster City offers a wide range of office and furniture casters designed for smooth, quiet movement across carpet, tile, and hardwood floors. If you’re upgrading desk chairs, file cabinets, mobile workstations, or anything else your office needs our casters provide durability, ease of movement, and a professional finish that complements any office setup.

Model 9 – Weld on swivel lock option makes the caster non returnable.
Plate Caster Model 9 swivel casters are our most popular industrial caster because of its low initial cost and wide selection of wheels. Under the mounting plate it has 2 rows of balls rotating on heat treated raceways. The swivel has a nut and bolt center pin welded to withstand normal abuse in a manually moved application. The kingpin bolt diameter is 5/8” and the leg thickness is 1/4”, welded on the inside and out. The diameter of the axle is ½” and is designed to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”. This caster is constructed from stamped steel. The metal frames are zinc plated for rust resistance, and it has lubrication fittings for all moveable parts. Model 9 has a broad selection of wheel brakes and swivel locks for most applications. Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.
This caster is available in Stainless Steel Model 9. It is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel. This is an excellent caster for wet or corrosive applications if your total weight exceeds 1000lbs. It comes with the same large selection of wheels, some of which are also NSF and ROHS compliant.
The (“PCI”) crown tread polyurethane on iron industrial caster wheel is an excellent ergonomic choice for maneuvering cargo in tight spaces. This crown-tread caster wheel helps to initiate motion and change directions more easily due to the point contact nature of the caster wheel. The principal benefit of a polyurethane wheel over the same size rubber wheel is increased capacity. The bonding agent which holds the polyurethane tire to the iron center can be affected by exposure to some chemicals, impact, overloading, and the buildup of heat. It comes in 4”, 5” , 6” , and 8” diameters and is equipped with two large precision sealed ball bearings which are completed with top hat spanners for a ½” diameter axle.
Crown-Tread Red Polyurethane on Iron (PCI) Caster Wheels
Crown-Tread Red Polyurethane on Iron (PCI) Caster Wheels from Caster City combine ergonomic design with high load capacity, making them an excellent choice for heavy-duty institutional and industrial applications. Featuring a flexible polyurethane crown tread bonded to a durable iron core, these wheels are designed to support up to 1200 lbs per wheel at room temperature on smooth floors. With a tire hardness of 90 Durometer (Shore A), they offer a balance of durability and floor protection, outperforming harder composition wheels that can damage surfaces. Available in 2-inch width with diameters of 4, 5, 6, and 8 inches, these wheels include precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners for a 1/2-inch axle or roller bearings for smooth operation. The crown tread design enhances maneuverability, allowing efficient direction changes under heavy loads, making them ideal for environments like labs, hospitals, food processing plants, and fabrication shops.
The PCI wheels excel in resisting grease, oil, cutting, chunking, and abrasive wear, surpassing rubber wheels in durability. Their ability to withstand impacts and heavy loads makes them suitable for demanding applications such as hand trucks, material handling carts, and heavy equipment movers. However, the bonding agent securing the polyurethane tread to the iron core may weaken under exposure to certain chemicals, high impact, overloading, or heat buildup from continuous use. Operating within a temperature range of -20°F to 180°F, these wheels provide reliable performance in diverse settings, including warehouses, automotive plants, and aerospace facilities. For applications involving extreme conditions, consult Caster City’s engineering team at 800-501-3808 to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
