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.

This rigid plate Caster Model K3A is a light-duty industrial caster which uses the same 1-¼” wide wheels as the standard Model 3 and the total locking K3A, making it a matching option for setups requiring a combination of rigid and total locking casters, ensuring consistent performance across equipment like carts or tables in hospitals or labs, where the softer ride of the RHB wheel protects cargo and minimizes vibration, offering straight-line travel over long distances on dry factory floors.
These caster wheels have blue, non-marking injection molded thermoplastic rubber tires mechanically bonded to a polyolefin ( industrial plastic ) center. They are popular on equipment in Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Hospitals, Food Service and other Institutional applications. These caster wheels provide a softer ride than polyurethane and yet withstand exposure to many chemicals and solvents. They can be used in industrial applications which do not involve shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors or storage (standing) loads. The High Capacity Soft Gray Rubber Caster Wheel has annular ball bearings to maximize its rated capacity.
Soft rubber provides more desirable operating characteristics than any other wheel material. These gray soft rubber wheels are non-marking, quiet, absorb shock (prolonging equipment life and protecting cargo), can roll over small objects, protects costly floor surfaces, and minimizes vibration. They fall short of perfection in their limitation under load – they do not roll easily. Load capacity ratings do not take into account the effort required to manually move a load (drawbar pull measured in pounds). If cargo is to be moved manually on these gray soft rubber caster wheels, reduce capacity ratings by 50% and select the largest practical wheel diameter. These caster wheels should not be left standing under load for extended periods as the tires may take a permanent “set” or develop flat spots. They can be used on almost any dry factory floor. The bonding agent which holds the rubber tire to its polyolefin center can be affected by exposure to some chemicals, impact, overloading, and the buildup of heat.
What is TPR in the Plate Caster Model 3’s RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels?
TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) is a non-marking, injection-molded blue rubber mechanically bonded to a polyolefin core in the RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels. It’s elastic, tear-resistant, and quieter than polyurethane, providing shock absorption and floor protection for hospitals, labs, and food service. It resists light chemicals but may develop flat spots under prolonged loads.
Why choose RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels for hospital equipment?
The non-marking blue TPR wheels on the Plate Caster Model 3 roll quietly, absorb shock, and protect floors like tile or linoleum, making them perfect for hospital carts or beds. They’re NSF-listed and ideal for dry institutional settings, preserving equipment and floors.
Can RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels handle chemicals in pharmaceutical labs?
Yes, the blue TPR tires resist many chemicals and solvents, suitable for dry lab environments. Harsh chemicals or heat buildup may weaken the tire’s bond to the polyolefin core, so avoid heavy exposure.
How hard is it to push the Plate Caster Model 3 with RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels?
TPR wheels need more effort under load. For manual pushing, reduce the 350 lbs per wheel capacity by 50% (to 175 lbs) and select the 5” diameter for easier movement on smooth, dry factory floors.
Can I leave the Plate Caster Model 3 with RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels under load?
No, avoid prolonged standing loads. The blue TPR tires can develop flat spots or a permanent “set,” reducing performance in institutional settings like schools or food service.
Are RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels suitable for rough industrial floors?
No, these TPR wheels are designed for smooth, dry factory floors without obstructions. They’re best for institutional applications like hospitals or labs, not abusive industrial environments.
Do RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels on the Plate Caster Model 3 require maintenance?
No, the sealed annular ball bearings are maintenance-free, keeping out dust for smooth, lasting performance on dry floors in pharmaceutical labs, hospitals-github.com, or food service settings.
What are the mounting specifications for the Plate Caster Model 3 with TPR wheels?
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 institutional carts or shelving.
Can the Plate Caster Model 3 with RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels be used in wet environments?
The zinc-plated steel frame isn’t suited for wet, washdown, or corrosive conditions. Use these blue TPR wheels in dry settings like labs or hospitals to prevent rust and ensure durability.
Is the Plate Caster Model 3 with RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels NSF-listed for food service?
Yes, the Plate Caster Model 3 is NSF-listed, ideal for food service or medical settings in dry environments. Verify with the supplier that the blue TPR wheels meet NSF standards for your use.
How do I replace the RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheel on the Plate Caster Model 3?
Match the wheel’s diameter (3”, 4”, or 5”), tread width (1-1/4” or 1-1/2”), and 3/8” axle. Choose a non-marking blue TPR wheel with sealed annular ball bearings to maintain the quiet, smooth roll.
How do RHB High Capacity Soft Blue Rubber wheels compare to polyurethane for institutional casters?
The blue TPR wheels are softer, quieter, and better at shock absorption than polyurethane, protecting floors and cargo in hospitals or labs. They roll less easily under load and aren’t suited for rough floors.
