Mix mild detergent with warm water (use gallons or liters as needed) and scrub polyurethane wheel and stem with a soft brush. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Clean brake mechanism and swivel bearings; apply light lubricant to bearings after drying. Inspect seals and mounting stem for wear; replace worn parts. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, reduces fire risk, lowers energy use, and helps pass CSA inspections.#@@#Additional Info#@#NBR Equipment ES-5-PU-B-TLB 5" caster has a 5" diameter x 1-1/4" wheel with blue polyurethane, expandable stem, ball bearing swivel, and top locking brake; supports 376 - 875 pounds and weighs 2.7 pounds, ideal for foodservice equipment.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop compromising mobility for durability. This industrial stem caster delivers consistent roll performance while supporting heavy loads, enabling faster equipment movement and reliable positioning in demanding foodservice environments. Designed for regular use in kitchens, cafeterias, and hospitals, this caster prioritizes uptime and control without sacrificing floor protection.
#@@# Wheel Configuration#@#
This swivel stem caster rotates smoothly to allow precise directional changes and reduced maneuvering effort in crowded service areas. Engineers specified ball bearings to lower rolling resistance and maintain consistent swivel action under dynamic loads.
#@@# Load Capacity#@#
The caster supports a rated range between 376 and 875 pounds, matching common requirements for carts, racks, and small equipment used in restaurants and institutions. Facility managers can assign this component to medium to heavy items while maintaining operational safety margins.
#@@# Wheel Compound#@#
Blue polyurethane tread covers a gray poly core to combine floor protection with abrasion resistance, minimizing scuffing on tiled and sealed concrete surfaces. Maintenance teams will note reduced cleaning demand compared with harder compounds and consistent traction during service.
#@@# Brake Mechanism#@#
A top locking brake engages the wheel and prevents rotation to stabilize carts during loading, unloading, and stationary prep tasks. Staff will benefit from secure positioning that reduces accidental movement during high-traffic periods.
#@@# Stem Design#@#
An expandable stem fits a variety of equipment sockets and simplifies retrofitting without welding or drilling modifications. Technicians will complete installation quickly and achieve a secure fit that resists loosening during repeated use.
#@@# Dimensional Details#@#
The wheel measures 5 inches in diameter with a 1.25-inch wheel width and a unit weight of 2.7 pounds, providing a low profile that eases clearance under shelving and counters.
