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.

Polyolefin Caster Wheels from Caster City
Polyolefin Caster Wheels are injection molded from a blend of thermoplastic polymers, forming a one-piece solid sanitary design that prioritizes durability and hygiene. These wheels are available with a plain bore, precision sealed ball bearings, roller bearings, or Delrin bearings for smooth operation across various light to medium-duty applications. As a cost-effective and lightweight option, polyolefin wheels are hard, non-marking, and non-conductive, offering superior resistance to water, chemicals, solvents, acids, grease, oils, and gasoline. Their unique composition ensures excellent abrasion resistance and impact absorption, making them a reliable choice for environments where sanitation and floor protection are essential.
Polyolefin Caster Wheels are particularly suited for wet and corrosive applications due to their outstanding resistance to most commonly encountered liquids, ensuring long-lasting performance. Their slightly crowned tread enhances rollability and maneuverability, and they do not develop flat spots when parked for extended periods. With a hardness of 65–70 Shore D, these wheels provide floor protection, low noise, and easy cleaning, while remaining impervious to sterilization processes. However, they can become brittle in cold, dry environments like refrigerated storerooms and should not be used in freezers or heat applications above 180°F during intermittent usage, such as rack washers.
Ideal for bakeries, food processing, dairies, meat packaging, laundries, supermarkets, warehouses, manufacturing plants, cleanrooms, medical facilities, and offices, these wheels excel where chemical resistance and non-marking performance are critical. Capable of handling impacts and loads up to 900 lbs per wheel depending on size, they offer economical mobility in harsh conditions. For reliable, sanitary, and floor-friendly caster solutions tailored to your needs, contact Caster City to explore custom configurations of our durable Polyolefin Caster Wheels.

The PW White Polyolefin Wheel (Plain Bore) supports up to 300 lbs per wheel and operates from -20°F to 180°F. The caster can handle up to 400°F due to its raceway seals, but the wheel’s material limits continuous use to 180°F to avoid brittleness (Polyolefin Wheels).
What bearing type comes with the PW White Polyolefin Wheel (Plain Bore) in the Model SS-3 light-duty swivel caster?
The PW White Polyolefin Wheel (Plain Bore) comes with a plain bore for a 3/8” axle, offering a simple, cost-effective rolling solution for light to medium-duty applications in institutional settings (Polypropylene or Polyolefin Wheel Casters).
How should I maintain the PW White Polyolefin Wheel (Plain Bore) in the Stainless Steel Swivel Plate Caster Model SS-3 to ensure longevity?
To maintain the PW White Polyolefin Wheel (Plain Bore), avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 180°F, as this can cause brittleness. Regularly inspect for wear and use on smooth floors to prevent damage from shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, or rough surfaces (Polyolefin Wheels).
How does the PW White Polyolefin Wheel (Plain Bore) compare to other types of wheels, such as nylon or rubber, in terms of performance and suitability?
Compared to nylon wheels, the PW White Polyolefin Wheel (Plain Bore) has a lower load capacity and temperature range but is more economical and resistant to water and chemicals.

Why is the optional total lock brake on the Model SS-3 swivel plate caster with PW White Polyolefin Wheels (Plain Bore) important for safety in hospital or lab settings?
The optional total lock brake locks the swivel and wheel, fully immobilizing the stainless steel assembly to prevent movement of objects—like carts, tables, or lab equipment—during tasks like working, cleaning, or setup, ensuring safety in hospital or lab environments. Total locking casters are crucial because in tasks like cutting, welding, or sawing, people may lean against the worktable while performing hazardous operations, and the total lock caster prevents any movement, totally immobilizing wheel and swivel rotation.
What makes the Model SS-3 light-duty stainless steel industrial caster a trusted choice for institutional applications in wet settings?
The Model SS-3 is a trusted choice for wet institutional settings due to its 304 stainless steel construction, NSF and ROHS compliance, raceway seals for high-temp use up to 400°F, zerk fitting, and dust cover for the swivel bearing, offering corrosion resistance and durability for washdown environments like labs or hospitals (Stainless Steel Swivel Caster).
How does the Model SS-3 light-duty stainless steel industrial caster enhance stability for lab or hospital equipment in institutional settings?
The Model SS-3 enhances stability for lab or hospital equipment with its double ball bearing swivel for smooth rotation, raceway seals and dust cover for durability, and brake options like TL, TB, and PTB to secure equipment—like carts or tables—firmly in place during operations, ensuring safety in institutional settings.
