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.

What is the Plate Caster Model 3 with RN Hard Rubber Wheel?
The Plate Caster Model 3 with RN Hard Rubber Wheel is a swivel plate caster featuring a black, solid hard rubber wheel on a nylon sleeve with a zinc-plated steel bracket. With a 1.25” tread width, 3”, 4”, or 5” diameters, plain bore, and 300 lbs capacity, this light duty industrial caster is a low-cost option for furniture dollies and legacy industrial uses in dry settings, though it marks floors.
Why choose these casters and wheels for furniture dollies?
This plate caster offers a low-cost, durable solution for furniture dollies, supporting 300 lbs with a hard Shore 55D rubber wheel and swivel plate caster bracket. Favored by legacy buyers, it suits dry, non-critical settings like workshops, but industrial casters like polyolefin are recommended to avoid floor marking.
How do these light duty industrial casters perform for stationary loads?
The RN Hard Rubber Wheel’s hard composition resists flat spotting, making this plate caster reliable for stationary loads up to 300 lbs in dry settings like garages or small warehouses. The swivel plate caster’s bracket ensures stability, though floor marking limits its use on sensitive surfaces.
Why do these casters mark floors, and what’s a better alternative?
The black hard rubber wheel in this light duty industrial caster marks all floor surfaces, making it unsuitable for delicate floors. For non-marking performance, choose polyolefin or TPR casters and wheels, which this plate caster can also support, ideal for sensitive settings like offices or labs.
Can these industrial casters be used in wet environments?
No, the hard rubber wheel and zinc-plated frame of this swivel plate caster are not suited for wet or washdown conditions due to potential damage and rust. Use alternative casters with stainless steel frames for wet settings; this caster is best for dry environments like workshops.
How easy is it to push the Plate Caster Model 3 with RN Hard Rubber Wheel?
This light duty industrial caster rolls smoothly on smooth floors at 300 lbs capacity due to the hard rubber wheel and plain bore, with the swivel plate caster’s swivel action aiding maneuverability in dry settings like garages or workshops for furniture dollies.
Can I park this plate caster under load?
Yes, the hard Shore 55D rubber wheel in this plate caster resists flat spotting under prolonged loads, ideal for stationary furniture dollies in workshops or warehouses. Avoid excessive static loads to maintain the caster’s performance.
Are these industrial casters suitable for sensitive floors?
No, the RN Hard Rubber Wheel in this light duty industrial caster marks all floor surfaces, making it unsuitable for sensitive floors like hardwood or tile. Opt for non-marking casters and wheels like polyolefin for floor protection in offices or homes.
Do these casters and wheels require maintenance?
The plain bore in the RN Hard Rubber Wheel may require occasional lubrication to maintain smooth rolling, unlike bearing-equipped casters. Regularly inspect and clean the swivel plate caster to ensure performance in dry settings like workshops or garages.
What are the mounting specs for this plate caster?
The Plate Caster Model 3 has a 2 3/8” x 3 5/8” top plate with a slotted bolt hole pattern of 1 3/4” x 2 7/8” to 3”, using 5/16” bolts, fitting standard carts or furniture dollies for light duty industrial casters in dry settings.
Is the Plate Caster Model 3 with RN Hard Rubber Wheel NSF-rated for food service?
No, this light duty industrial caster is not NSF-rated, as hard rubber marks floors and isn’t suited for sanitary settings. It’s designed for dry, non-critical applications like furniture dollies, not food service or labs.
How do I replace the RN Hard Rubber Wheel on this swivel plate caster?
Match the wheel’s diameter (3”, 4”, or 5”), 1.25” tread width, and 3/8” axle. Choose a hard rubber wheel with a plain bore for the same low-cost performance of this plate caster, or upgrade to polyolefin for non-marking casters in dry settings.
How does this industrial caster compare to polyolefin casters for legacy applications?
The Plate Caster Model 3 with RN Hard Rubber Wheel is lower-cost than polyolefin casters but marks floors, making polyolefin a better choice for floor protection. Both support 300 lbs, but this light duty industrial caster appeals to legacy buyers for furniture dollies in dry workshops.
Can this plate caster handle loads in small warehouses?
Yes, this swivel plate caster supports 300 lbs per caster, suitable for light carts or dollies in small warehouses or garages on smooth floors. Its floor-marking nature limits use on sensitive surfaces, favoring polyolefin industrial casters for versatility.å
What are the advantages of the swivel design in this swivel plate caster?
The swivel plate caster’s bracket features two ball bearings on hardened raceways and a metal dust cap, ensuring smooth 360-degree movement with the RN Hard Rubber Wheel, protecting raceways from dirt in dry settings like workshops or garages.
What is the temperature range for this light duty industrial caster?
This plate caster operates from -20°F to 160°F, suitable for dry industrial environments like garages or workshops, but avoid wet or chemical-heavy settings due to the hard rubber wheel’s limitations.
