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 RHD High Capacity Soft Gray Rubber Caster Wheel with Crown Tread is a robust, non-marking wheel designed for heavy-duty industrial use. It features a high-grade thermoplastic elastomer tread, chemically bonded to a durable polyolefin core, delivering a quiet, smooth, and shock-absorbing ride. Available in 6×2-inch and 8×2-inch sizes, this wheel supports load capacities of 600 pounds for the 6×2 model and 700 pounds for the 8×2 model. Its crown tread design ensures ergonomic movement by creating point contact with the floor, reducing friction and scuffing during turns and pivots, making it easier to change directions, even from a stopped position. The wheel comes in a gray tread color, ideal for environments requiring a clean, professional appearance. With a durometer of Shore A 65 (+/- 5), it balances softness for vibration and noise reduction with strength for demanding tasks. The RHD wheel resists cleaning chemicals, acids, alcohols, and water, making it perfect for washdown applications in pharmaceutical laboratories, hospitals, food service, and institutional settings on dry factory floors. It operates effectively in temperatures from -20°F to 180°F and offers bearing options: Precision Sealed Ball Bearings (PS), Needle Roller Bearings (R), or Delrin Bearings (D) for high-lubricity performance in wet environments. This wheel protects sensitive equipment and floors while ensuring reliable, quiet operation.
The RHD wheel’s non-marking thermoplastic elastomer tread prevents floor damage, making it a top choice for hospitals and food service areas where cleanliness is critical. The crown tread design reduces friction, allowing easier maneuvering of heavy loads in tight spaces or during frequent directional changes. The chemically bonded tread and polyolefin core resist degradation from cleaning agents, acids, and water, ensuring durability in challenging environments. The wheel’s bearing options enhance its versatility: Precision Sealed Ball Bearings provide smooth rolling, Needle Roller Bearings handle heavy loads, and Delrin Bearings offer high lubricity for washdowns. This makes the RHD wheel ideal for applications requiring frequent cleaning, such as pharmaceutical labs or food processing facilities.
This caster wheel is not designed for static load applications due to its injection-molded construction, which may not support heavy weights when stationary. For static load needs, contact Caster City for alternative solutions. The wheel’s higher rolling resistance requires more effort to move under load, so reduce capacity ratings by 50% when calculating manual movement (drawbar pull measured in pounds). For easier manual operation, choose the largest practical wheel diameter. The 8×2-inch model offers higher capacity and smoother rolling under heavy loads compared to the 6×2-inch model. The bonding agent between the tread and core may be affected by exposure to certain chemicals, impact, overloading, or heat buildup, so the wheel performs best on dry factory floors where it delivers a quiet, shock-absorbing ride.
The RHD High Capacity Soft Gray Rubber Caster Wheel excels in noise-sensitive and equipment-protective environments. Its non-marking gray tread ensures floors remain clean and undamaged, while the crown tread enhances ergonomic handling. The wheel’s resistance to chemicals and water supports its use in washdown settings, and its temperature range of -20°F to 180°F ensures reliable performance across various conditions. The 6×2-inch and 8×2-inch sizes, designed for a ⅜-inch axle, provide flexibility for different equipment needs. Whether used in hospitals, labs, or food service, this wheel combines durability, functionality, and ease of movement for industrial applications.
