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.

The Stem Caster Model G15 is a robust, heavy-duty industrial stem caster engineered for superior load-bearing capacity, boasting the highest capacity ratings among all stem caster models (up to 1,500 lbs per caster under ideal manual conditions, with weight directly on the swivel bearing). It is available with two stem types: threaded stems in ¾” and 1” diameters, and plain round stems in ¾”, ⅞”, 1”, and 1-⅜” diameters. For threaded stem casters, the weight is designed to be supported by the top of the swivel bearing, not the threaded stem itself, meaning they are not suitable for use as leveling devices. To ensure stability and safety, it is strongly recommended to fully thread the caster into the application. Plain round stems, on the other hand, are secured inside tubing by drilling a hole through both the tubing and stem, then inserting a bolt through the cross hole for a secure fit. The Model G15 is intended exclusively for hand-powered, manually moved applications (up to 3 mph on smooth floors), making it ideal for carts or equipment that are not mechanically driven, with capacities rated for infrequent movement without abuse.
This heavy duty industrial stem caster offers extensive customization through wheel and bearing options to suit diverse industrial needs, such as warehouse handling, material carts, or factory equipment. All wheels are consistently 2 inches wide for optimal stability and load distribution. Available wheel diameters include 4″, 5″, 6″, and 8″, allowing selection based on floor conditions, maneuverability, and capacity requirements—larger diameters generally provide better rollability over obstacles and less effort required to initiate movement.
Wheel materials (treads) vary to match specific applications, including:
Bearing choices for the wheels further enhance performance and longevity, with options including:
The swivel construction features precision-machined combination load and thrust bearings with heat-treated raceways for reduced vibration, easier swiveling, and extended durability— Kingpinless Caster Design has no center pin and avoids weakpoints and failures occurring.
Optional add-ons enhance functionality:
These features, combined with the flexible wheel and bearing selections, make the G15 a versatile choice for industrial settings where durability, high load capacity, and customization are critical, provided the application aligns with its hand-powered design. For CAD files, exact capacities per configuration, or tailored recommendations, contact Caster City at sales@castercity.com or 800-501-3808.
Threaded Stem Casters should NOT be used as a “Leveling Device”!

Polyurethane Caster Wheels – Superior Performance Casters
Polyurethane Caster Wheels from Caster City offer superior performance compared to rubber wheels, excelling in resistance to grease, oil, cutting, chunking, and abrasive wear. Available in green (PY) or red (PYR) polyurethane tread bonded to a durable iron core, these wheels are designed for versatility and can be used on nearly any factory floor. With a tire hardness of 90–95 Durometer (Shore A), they provide excellent durability while maintaining a temperature range of -20°F to 180°F. The bonding agent securing the polyurethane tread to the iron center may be affected by certain chemicals, high impact, overloading, or heat buildup, so proper application is key. Available in widths of 1.25”, 1.5”, 2”, and 3” and diameters up to 16”, these wheels support a variety of bearing types, including precision sealed ball bearings, roller bearings, or stainless steel bearings, ensuring smooth operation across diverse industrial settings.
The primary advantage of polyurethane wheels over rubber is their significantly higher load capacity – up to three times that of a comparable rubber wheel under ideal conditions on smooth floors. This makes them an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications in industries such as material handling, manufacturing, warehousing, and automotive, where they can be used on platform trucks, assembly line carts, or heavy equipment movers. While polyurethane wheels roll more easily than rubber at the same load, they may become less easy-rolling when pushed to their maximum capacity. Capacity ratings serve as a guideline for safe operation, but actual performance depends on usage, service conditions, and environmental factors. To ensure optimal performance, consult Caster City’s engineering team at 800-501-3808 for guidance on high-impact or high-temperature applications.
