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 VS Ductile Steel V-Groove Wheel is built to handle heavy loads up to 1,500 lbs per wheel on inverted angle iron tracks, making it your go-to for guided movement in tough industrial jobs. Available in 2-inch, 2.5-inch, or 3-inch widths with diameters up to 10 inches, this wheel is designed for straight-line towing or back-and-forth motion in abusive settings—think boat building, steel mills, or heavy manufacturing. Ductile steel construction takes on shock loads and impacts without flinching, and the V-groove tread lets it roll on smooth floors when off tracks. With straight roller bearings as standard (or tapered bearings for heavy loads), it ensures smooth operation, but tracks must be aligned within ±1/64″ every 20 feet to avoid binding.
This wheel is made for the harshest environments, supporting applications like yacht hull transport, telescope roof movement, or moving aircraft components in aerospace. It’s a top pick for automotive tow-lines, observatories, and defense setups, delivering stable, guided motion for your heaviest loads. Use a 2″ x 2″ angle iron track (3/8” thick, groove width 1-3/4”, A=23/32”, B=29/32”, C=1-5/32”) to keep floors safe, and pair with a flat bed for non-V-groove wheels if your layout isn’t perfect. For powered equipment or custom track setups, contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 or sales@castercity.com. Order online and tackle the toughest jobs with confidence.

What sizes are available for the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel?
The VS V-groove wheel comes in 2-inch, 2.5-inch, or 3-inch widths, with diameters up to 10 inches. Pick the size that fits your load and track setup—larger diameters handle heavier loads better.
What material is the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel made from?

It uses straight roller bearings as standard, allowing 1/16″ total end play for smooth operation. For heavy loads, tapered bearings are available for radial and thrust support—call Caster City at 800-501-3808 to customize.
Can the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel operate in harsh environments?
Yes, ductile steel is built for tough environments like steel mills, boat building, or heavy manufacturing, handling shock loads and impacts. Tracks must be aligned within ±1/64″ every 20 feet to prevent binding—email Caster City at sales@castercity.com for advice.
How does the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel protect factory floors?
Ductile steel can damage floors, so use on angle iron tracks (e.g., 2″ x 2″, 3/8” thick, groove width 1-3/4”, A=23/32”, B=29/32”, C=1-5/32”) to protect surfaces. Off tracks, the tread on either side of the V-groove allows use on smooth floors.
Which industries use the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel?
It’s a go-to for boat/yacht building, observatories, automotive, aerospace, heavy manufacturing, steel mills, and defense, where guided movement on tracks is essential for heavy, abusive applications.
What are the primary applications for the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel?
It’s ideal for straight-line towing or back-and-forth motion in boat/yacht building (hull transport), observatories (telescope roofs), automotive tow-lines (vehicle parts), aerospace (aircraft components), heavy manufacturing (machinery carts), steel mills (molten metal loads), and defense (fortifications).
Can the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel be used with mechanically powered equipment?
It’s designed for manual towing on tracks, but ductile steel wheels can handle powered equipment if tracks are perfectly aligned. Consult Caster City at 800-501-3808 to ensure a safe setup for powered applications.
