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.

Plate Rigid Caster Model 9 is the equivalent plate caster for the Model 9 Plate Swivel. When manually moving machinery supported by 4 swivel casters it can be strenuous to control the direction you are pulling or pushing. Rigid casters support in controlling equipment being moved in direct line travel. Equipment with both rigid casters can not move sideways. Rigids are usually installed at the opposite end of the push handle. Rigid Casters have 2 legs perpendicular to the mounting plate. Leg thickness is 1/4”. The axle diameter is 1/2” long and is designed to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”. This caster is constructed from stamped steel. Rigid Casters can carry more heft than swivel casters because they do not have an offset. Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.
Our “NP” high temperature wheels, constructed from nylon mixed with glass fibers, are tailored for 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters with a 2-inch width for heavy duty industrial casters in model 9, supporting up to 1000 lbs per wheel for the 8×2 size in moist high heat environments like smokehouses, moist heat bakery ovens, autoclaves, and pressurized steam-autoclaves. These high heat casters handle continuous operation up to 425°F and can take 475°F to 550°F for 30 minutes intermittently, needing to cool to room temperature afterward to keep their lifespan intact. The hard, brittle, non-marking surface of these heat caster wheels requires smooth, flat floors, as rough surfaces or obstructions can wear them down, making them a top choice for high temperature wheel applications in wet, steamy model 9 setups where durability is critical.
Designed exclusively for moist high heat, these “NP” high temperature casters and wheels will shatter in dry heat environments like powder coating ovens when their moisture content drops to zero, unlike our “TP” high temperature wheels built for dry heat. Their moisture-resistant build makes them ideal for model 9 applications involving water or steam, delivering reliable performance for heavy duty casters in food processing or sterilization settings. By using these heavy duty industrial casters on smooth floors and shielding them from direct heat sources, model 9 users get tough, long-lasting mobility for demanding moist high heat operations.
*This Plate Caster Model 9 contains the High Temperature Glass – Nylon with Plain Bore – No Bearing in the Wheel.
