Description
The SS316-9 Industrial Caster Model 9 bracket is engineered for highly corrosive environments where durability, hygiene, and corrosion resistance are paramount. Crafted from 1/2″ thick stamped 316 stainless steel enhanced with 2-3% molybdenum and higher nickel content, it delivers superior protection against chlorides, acids, and harsh cleaning agents compared to 304 stainless, making it essential for marine applications, chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing facilities (especially those using caustic cleaners or high salt), water treatment operations, and any setting with routine exposure to aggressive elements. The swivel design features a double ball raceway secured by a welded 5/8″ stainless steel nut and bolt kingpin, lubrication fittings in the swivel bearing and 1/2″ stainless steel axle, rubber seals on the swivel bearing for contaminant protection, and optional brakes like the swivel lock, total lock, or top lock brake (-TB) with a side pedal for secure stationary use. Rigid models provide fixed-direction stability, and the mounting plate measures 4″ x 4-1/2″ with a bolt hole pattern of 2-5/8″ x 3-5/8″ to 3″ x 3″.
These rugged cold-forged caster brackets are recommended only for manually moved, hand-powered applications, offering a step up from the 316 Stainless Steel Model 3 with higher capacity and durability, though for mechanically powered or abusive uses, the Model G15 (up to 1500 lbs) is advised. Meeting NSF and ROHS standards for hygiene, they feature an electrolytic finish for smoothness and sanitary design, ideal for maintaining equipment integrity in the harshest conditions without pitting or crevice corrosion.
While 316 stainless commands a higher price than 304, its enhanced resistance reduces maintenance and extends service life, justifying the cost where failure can’t be tolerated.

Caster City’s high temperature glass filled nylon wheel “NP” is crafted from a robust blend of nylon mixed with glass fibers. This glass-filled nylon composition creates a hard, brittle wheel designed exclusively for moisturized or wet heat applications, with a maximum temperature tolerance of up to 425°F for 30 minutes of continuous operation. Available in diameters ranging from 3” to 8” and tread widths of 1-¼” to 2”, these wheels can be equipped with a plain bore, a straight roller bearing, or a bronze bearing for enhanced performance in high-heat environments, providing flexibility for various industrial applications.
The “NP” high temperature phenolic wheel is optimized for smooth, flat floor surfaces, ensuring stability and durability in demanding moist heat settings. Caster City manufactures these wheels to withstand the challenges of wet heat environments, making them ideal for applications requiring resilience under high temperatures. Their brittle nature, however, limits their use to smooth flooring, as rough or uneven surfaces may compromise performance, ensuring optimal functionality when used as intended.
