Description

5″ Crown Gray Soft Rubber Wheel. Stainless Precision Sealed Ball Bearings in the Wheel. Size shown in photo is 6 x 2. Choose Stem Above.

The Stainless Steel Kingpinless Stem Caster (SS-G15) is a heavy-duty industrial caster designed for reliability in sanitary and high-precision environments, such as food processing and pharmaceutical labs. Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a welded, stamped steel design and ¼” thick legs welded to a precision machined swivel bearing, the SS-G15 ensures smoother swivel rotation, reduced vibration, and extended trouble-free performance for manually moved equipment. Its kingpinless design, combined with lubrication fittings for all movable parts, enhances durability and ease of maintenance, making it ideal for washdown settings requiring NSF and ROHS compliance. With load capacities ranging from 250 lbs to 1,500 lbs depending on wheel type, the caster is optimized for infrequent manual movement with the weight applied directly on the swivel bearing, not above it on the threaded stem, and should not be used as a leveling device.

The SS-G15 offers exceptional flexibility with a variety of wheel options and configurations to suit diverse applications. Available wheel diameters include 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” with a 2” tread width, and materials range from gray soft rubber (flat or crown), high-capacity rubber, and self-energizing ergonomic polyurethane (crown, orange) to polyolefin, nylon, phenolic, and ultra-high-capacity polymer. Most wheels feature stainless precision ball bearings for smooth operation, with specialized options like 90A orange polyurethane on aluminum or 65D blue polyurethane on aluminum (6” and 8” only). The crown tread design on polyurethane wheels reduces push-pull forces, minimizing the effort needed to start motion or change directions, thereby improving customer comfort and operational efficiency in institutional settings.

For secure positioning, the SS-G15 includes standard wheel brakes and swivel locks, with additional braking options such as the Top Lock Brake (TB) with a pedal on the side of the wheel and the Bolt-On Universal Face Contact Brake (UFCB). These features ensure stability for equipment like carts, tables, or workstations during cleaning, sterilization, or setup in hospitals or labs. The precision machined combination load and thrust bearing enhances smooth operation, making the SS-G15 a trusted choice for safety-focused environments. To select the appropriate configuration, customers should contact Caster City at sales@castercity.com or 800-501-3808 for recommendations, as real-world conditions may vary and capacity ratings alone are not sufficient for optimal performance.
