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.

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.

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.
