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.

These swivel stem caster frames are constructed from stamped steel and zinc plated. This institutional caster is a step up from most casters of its size due to having a hardened raceway and two rows of ball bearings. This institutional stem caster is a step up from most swivel casters of it’s price range since it uses a 3/8” axle bolt over a 1/4” axle and it’s center pin steel rivet is 1/2” diameter. There is a cover over the swivel raceways to shield them from dirt and dust. It performs best if you limit the load to no more than 1,000 lbs on a set of 4 model 3 casters.

Gray Iron Caster Wheels from Caster City
The Gray Iron Industrial Caster Wheels we engineer at Caster City are a low-cost solution primarily chosen for their affordability, offering a budget-friendly option for applications where cost is a priority and floor protection is not a concern. Available in 2” and 3” widths with diameters ranging from 3” to 12”, these wheels are equipped with a lubrication fitting in the hub for easy maintenance and come with either roller bearings or sealed precision ball bearings for reliable performance. Designed to support heavy loads without developing flat spots, Gray Iron wheels are a practical choice for static or low-mobility applications in industrial settings, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 400°F depending on the application.
While Gray Iron Caster Wheels provide an economical alternative, they are not recommended for severe or abusive applications due to their lower strength compared to steel wheels. For only a modest increase in cost, we recommend our steel wheels, which offer nearly twice the strength and durability. Gray Iron wheels will damage most factory floors under heavy loads, so they are typically used on steel plating, in metal channels, or as V-grooved wheels rolling on inverted angle iron tracks to protect costly flooring. These wheels are best suited for environments where budget constraints outweigh the need for enhanced performance or floor preservation.
Ideal for cost-conscious applications requiring reliable load support, Gray Iron Industrial Caster Wheels deliver functionality at a low initial cost. However, for superior strength and longevity, we encourage customers to consider our steel wheel options. Contact Caster City to discuss your needs or for custom configurations of our Gray Iron Caster Wheels, ensuring you get the most cost-effective solution for your industrial requirements.
