Built for mobile shelving systems requiring reliable maneuverability and secure stopping, this stem caster ensures consistent performance in foodservice and institutional environments. Its swivel-brake design enhances workflow safety and prevents accidental rollaways by locking shelves during stocking or service.
#@@# Swivel-Brake Control#@#
The swivel-brake mechanism locks rotation and wheel movement simultaneously, letting operators secure shelving instantly during loading or prep. This reduces drift on smooth floors and improves employee safety during handling.
#@@# Black Nylon Housing#@#
The black nylon housing offers structural support while resisting corrosion and impact in busy kitchens, catering, or hospital settings. It requires less maintenance than metal housings and maintains alignment under frequent use.
#@@# Non-Marking Tread#@#
The polymer tread protects floor finishes in dining areas, cafeterias, and hallways, preventing scuffs and preserving surfaces. It balances grip and rollability for smooth transit of stocked racks.
#@@# Compact Wheel Diameter#@#
The 2-1/2" wheel diameter provides a low profile that fits standard shelving posts and keeps rack centers of gravity low for stable transport. Smaller wheels simplify installation into existing stem sockets without shelf modifications.
#@@# Stem Attachment#@#
The stem-style design allows direct installation into regular shelving posts, simplifying retrofits and reducing downtime. Technicians can quickly replace casters with common tools, returning units to service the same day.
#@@# Load Capacity#@#
Each caster is designed to support up to 100 pounds, accommodating medium-duty loads commonly found in supply carts and shelving units used in restaurants, schools, and healthcare facilities. Distributing weight evenly across four casters ensures dependable operation during routine use.
