These solid one-piece, all-polyurethane caster wheels offer notable advantages to Butchers. They are non-marking and non-conductive, making them suitable for diverse environments. The absence of a metal center removes the possibility of bond failure, thus reducing the need for frequent wheel replacements. These caster wheels are particularly well-suited for use alongside stainless steel casters in settings prone to moisture and corrosion like a butcher’s shop.  They are well suited for daily washdowns that include blood. Furthermore, the wheel’s design incorporates contours that effectively prevent water accumulation for sanitary purposes.

As a result, they find their niche in environments where cleanliness and sanitation are paramount. This “Butcher’s Wheel” is for those demanding a clean and hygienic design.

We have found that most food manufacturers are looking for plate and stem casters. Butchers either prefer a total-locking caster for the increased safety it offers while leaning against your cutting table.  If a brake is not needed, we always strongly encourage meat processors to purchase the economy stainless steel caster which offers a drain hole in the swivel bearing to further ensure there is no place for blood and water to collect after a washdown.
