Description
The Model SS-3A is a light stainless industrial caster built from stamped 304 stainless steel, offering top-notch corrosion resistance for tough environments like food service, hospitals, or labs. Its 1-¼” wide RH High Capacity Soft Gray Rubber Wheel, with a non-marking, 65A soft durometer thermoplastic rubber tire bonded to a polyolefin core, comes in 3”, 4”, or 5” diameters with overall heights of 4-1/4”, 5-1/4”, and 6-1/4”, respectively, and a 304 stainless steel annular ball bearing for smooth, maintenance-free performance. This total-locking caster features a metal brake pedal that locks both the swivel caster bearing and the wheel simultaneously, turning it into a fixed leg to keep cargo secure on level surfaces. Each total-lock caster supports up to 350 lbs, for a total of 1400 lbs across four casters and wheels, with a 4-1/4” swivel radius for the total-lock brake across all sizes.
The RH wheel operates reliably from -20°F to 160°F, making it suitable for heat caster applications in wet or corrosive settings like food processing, pharmaceutical labs, or cleanrooms. A 304 stainless steel dust cover shields the two rows of ball bearings in the swivel caster raceway, ensuring long-lasting performance for this stainless steel industrial caster. Available in plate mount or stem mount configurations, the Model SS-3A includes matching plain swivel and rigid casters for optimal mobility and stability in heavy duty casters applications. The RH wheel’s 65A soft durometer offers a quiet, shock-absorbing ride, protecting floors and equipment while resisting water and mild chemicals, but it may absorb certain chemicals, which would shorten the life of the wheel. For high heat caster or high temperature caster needs beyond 160°F or marine environments, contact Caster City for alternative wheel or 316 stainless steel options.
Chemical Absorption Note: The RH High Capacity Soft Gray Rubber Wheel may absorb certain chemicals, which would shorten the life of the wheel. Consult Caster City for guidance on chemical compatibility for your stainless steel caster application. Tire separation is possible in highly corrosive applications.

Its 1-¼” wide RH High Capacity Soft Gray Rubber Wheel has a non-marking, 65A soft durometer thermoplastic rubber tire bonded to a polyolefin core, with a 304 stainless steel annular ball bearing for stainless steel industrial caster durability.
How does the total-locking mechanism work on the Model SS-3A stainless steel caster?
This total-locking caster features a metal brake pedal that locks both the swivel caster bearing and the 1-¼” wide RH rubber wheel simultaneously, turning the industrial caster into a fixed leg to keep cargo secure and stationary on level surfaces.
What is the weight capacity of the Model SS-3A total-locking industrial caster?
Each total-lock Model SS-3A caster supports up to 350 lbs, for a total of 1400 lbs across four casters and wheels. Contact Caster City before exceeding this limit to ensure safety for your heavy duty casters application.
What environments are best for the Model SS-3A total-locking stainless steel industrial caster?
This light stainless industrial caster is ideal for wet or corrosive settings like food processing, pharmaceutical labs, hospitals, or cleanrooms. The 304 stainless steel frame and RH wheel’s stainless steel bearing make it a top stainless steel caster for hygienic environments, resisting moisture and mild chemicals.
What are the wheel sizes and bearing options for the Model SS-3A total-locking swivel caster?
The RH soft gray rubber wheel is always 1-¼” wide, with a 1-5/8” hub length, and comes in 3”, 4”, or 5” diameters, perfect for casters and wheels applications. It uses a 304 stainless steel annular ball bearing for smooth, corrosion-resistant performance in stainless steel industrial casters.
What are the overall heights of the Model SS-3A total-locking caster?
The overall height of this total-locking caster depends on the wheel size: 4-1/4” for the 3” wheel, 5-1/4” for the 4” wheel, and 6-1/4” for the 5” wheel, ensuring compatibility with various equipment setups for industrial casters.
