Engineered for demanding foodservice environments, this rigid stem caster combines a 5" polyurethane flat wheel tread with a polymer horn for reliable mobility and corrosion resistance. It supports up to 300 pounds per caster and includes a bumper to protect shelving and equipment during transport, ensuring consistent performance in busy kitchens and storage areas.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Remove the caster from the unit and wipe wheel and horn with a damp cloth and mild detergent; scrub grooves to remove grease and debris, then rinse and dry completely. Inspect the polyurethane flat wheel tread and polymer horn for cuts or wear; replace any damaged parts to maintain the 300 Lb. capacity. Lubricate stem threads sparingly and check the bumper for compression. Reinstall securely and roll the shelving to confirm smooth operation and proper alignment before returning to service.#@@#Additional Info#@#Metro 5Pcr Super Erecta stem caster, rigid 5" diameter with a 1-1/4" face, supports 300 Lb. capacity and resists corrosion; it features a polyurethane flat wheel tread, polymer horn, integrated bumper, and ships from Metro as part number 5PCR.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Engineered for demanding foodservice environments, this rigid stem caster combines a 5" polyurethane flat wheel tread with a polymer horn for reliable mobility and corrosion resistance. It supports up to 300 pounds per caster and includes a bumper to protect shelving and equipment during transport, ensuring consistent performance in busy kitchens and storage areas.
#@@# Wheel Diameter#@#
The 5" wheel reduces rolling resistance and eases movement over uneven floors. This size balances load support and maneuverability, streamlining transfers of carts and shelving units.
#@@# Wheel Face#@#
A 1-1/4" face provides a compact contact patch, minimizing floor footprint while maintaining stability during straight runs. Narrower faces allow denser caster placement on shelving without sacrificing tracking.
#@@# Load Capacity#@#
With a 300 Lb. capacity per caster, it handles typical loaded shelving and equipment in restaurants, hospitals, and institutional kitchens. This rating helps planners calculate safe total loads when specifying caster counts.
#@@# Tread Material#@#
Polyurethane flat wheel tread resists wear, reduces noise, and offers chemical resistance suitable for cleaning agents. Hard tread lowers rolling drag and preserves floor finishes compared to abrasive alternatives.
#@@# Horn Construction#@#
A polymer horn provides corrosion resistance and lighter weight compared to metal horns, reducing assembly mass and maintenance in humid or wet conditions. Polymer construction also minimizes galvanic reactions on stainless shelving.
#@@# Mounting Type#@#
Designed for modular shelving systems, this stem caster ensures compatibility with standard stem sockets. It simplifies installation and allows easy interchangeability, making it ideal for Metro Super Erecta components and adaptable storage layouts.
