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.
Caster City offers a wide range of office and furniture casters designed for smooth, quiet movement across carpet, tile, and hardwood floors. If you’re upgrading desk chairs, file cabinets, mobile workstations, or anything else your office needs our casters provide durability, ease of movement, and a professional finish that complements any office setup.

5″ Phenolic Wheel. Shown in photo with 6″ x 2″ wheel. Stainless Steel rigid Caster Model 9 is made of 304 stainless using a stamped steel construction and is excellent for corrosive applications. The mounting plate and legs of the caster are ¼” thick 304 stainless steel. This 304 stainless caster is NSF and ROHS standard compliant. This stainless steel rigid caster uses a 1/2” diameter axle. Rigid casters are most commonly selected when price is a factor, or if you need to travel in a straight line over long distances. This Stainless Steel Model 9 caster performs best if you limit the load to no more than 1200 lbs per rigid caster.
Caster City Phenolic wheels are a hard composition caster wheel which are non-marking in nature, making them excellent for supporting heavy stationary loads for long periods of time. Phenolic can not develop a flat spot if left parked for a long period under load, and the wheel is capable of withstanding shock loads and the impacts of small obstructions. Phenolic can absorb water and other chemicals if excessive exposure occurs. Phenolic caster wheels come standard with a roller bearing and have precision sealed ball bearings as an option. This wheel comes in diameters ranging from 3” to 18” and the width of the wheels ranges from 1-¼” to 4”. A phenolic wheel has a temperature range is -40° to +250° F and a Durometer of Shore D 90.

Phenolic Caster Wheels from Caster City
Our Phenolic Caster Wheels, made from macerated canvas mixed with phenolic resin and molded under high pressure and temperature are a cost-effective, hard-composition, non-marking solution ideal for supporting heavy stationary loads that move infrequently. With a hardness comparable to polished maple flooring and a Durometer of Shore D 90, these wheels are designed to handle large loads comparable to metal wheels without developing flat spots, even when parked for prolonged periods under load. Available in diameters from 3” to 18” and widths from 1-¼” to 4”, they come standard with roller bearings or optional precision sealed ball bearings, making them perfect for smooth concrete surfaces in industrial settings like warehouses or manufacturing facilities.
These phenolic caster wheels are highly resistant to oil, grease, gasoline, and mild acids, and can withstand shock loads and impacts from small obstructions. They are recommended for storage loads without permanent set and offer slight floor wear, except on already deteriorating surfaces. For enhanced performance, a laminated unmacerated tread option provides 25% more capacity and greater chip resistance, though the wheel material may chip or cut from contact with steel plates or rough surfaces. With a temperature range of -40°F to +250°F, and intermittent use up to 300°F, these wheels are built for durability in dry environments where they excel in supporting heavy static loads.
While Phenolic Caster Wheels are tough and versatile, they are not suitable for wet applications or environments with excessive exposure to water, oil, or chemicals, as they can slowly absorb these substances and fail over time. For applications involving routine moisture or strong acids and alkaline solutions, consider alternative wheel materials. Ideal for dry, high-capacity settings requiring impact resistance and floor protection, these wheels are a reliable, economical choice. Contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 for assistance with custom configurations or to place an order for our durable Phenolic Caster Wheels.

Get the Model 9 stainless caster from Caster City’s website at www.castercity.com or call 800-501-3808. Lead time is usually 2 days for fast delivery.
How does the Stainless Steel Caster Model 9 compare to Model 3 or G15?
The Model 9 heavy duty stainless steel caster is a step up from our Stainless Steel Caster Model 3 plate casters, supporting up to 1200 lbs per caster depending on the wheel. It has two rows of ball bearings for axial and thrust loads, a 5/8″ nut and bolt kingpin welded together for manual abuse, and is made of 1/2″ thick stamped 304 stainless steel. If your setup is abrasive or powered, check the G15 model—it handles up to 1500 lbs with the same wheels, and some wheels rate higher on it due to tougher build. Call 800-501-3808 for help.
What’s the difference between swivel and rigid versions of the Stainless Steel Caster Model 9?
Swivel versions of this stainless swivel caster have full rotation for maneuvering, with a cold-forged top plate, yoke base, welded legs, and 5/8″ kingpin. Rigid casters don’t swivel, made from 1/4″ thick 304 stamped stainless steel for the plate and legs, with a 1/2″ axle bolt. Pick rigid when price matters or for straight-line travel over long distances or ramps—install them opposite the push handle for better steering. Both are NSF and ROHS compliant, great for corrosive washdowns like food processing.
What wheel options are available for the Stainless Steel Caster Model 9?
This caster has a broad selection of 2″ wide wheels that are NSF and ROHS compliant, including polyolefin (like PB), gray soft rubber, neoprene, polyurethane varieties, nylon, phenolic, high-temp options, V-groove, water-resistant polyurethane, and solid stainless steel. Diameters from 4″ to 8″.
Is the Stainless Steel Caster Model 9 suitable for total locking?

What construction details make the Stainless Steel Caster Model 9 durable?
The swivel has a cold forged top plate and yoke base from 1/4″ stainless steel, with 1/4″ thick legs welded inside and out. It uses a 1/2” diameter hollow bolt axle with lock nut, and comes with grease fittings for both swivel and wheel bearings.
Can the Stainless Steel Caster Model 9 handle high temperatures?
Yeah, it can with the right wheels like high temp glass filled nylon or high temp phenolic fiberglass, but check the max capacity—it drops if you’re running over 40 minutes at peak temps. Consult if needed.
What installation tips are there for the Stainless Steel Caster Model 9?
Make sure rigid casters are parallel to each other, swivels are parallel to the floor, and use at least 4 bolts on the mounting plate. Don’t distort the swivel bearing during install, like from bad welding, and avoid dragging sideways or dropping loads hard.
