Food Service Casters

These food service casters fit prep tables, bun pan racks, oven racks, fryers, and coolers. Casters in this collection range from about 200 to 1,200 lb per caster. Set-of-four and set-of-six pack totals on some titles are not used as the per-caster max. Wheel diameters run about 2 to 8 in with high-temp phenolic, glass-filled nylon, epoxy, rubber, and polyurethane (poly or urethane). High-temp phenolic and epoxy cover oven and fryer heat. Soft rubber or soft polyurethane is the better pick on finished kitchen floors with chips or grit. Match plate or stem and heat rating before you place your order today. Confirm the rating on the listing before you buy. Keep the load on the rating printed for that SKU. Capacities below are per caster unless a listing says set. High-temp wheels: high temperature wheels. Broader Colson plate: Colson plate casters.

Mounts you will see

  • Plates: 2-3/8 x 3-5/8, 3-1/8 x 4-1/8 (oven rack), and 4 x 4-1/2 in
  • Stems: threaded, grip ring, and expanding adapters for tube legs
  • Stainless rigs for washdown; zinc for dry prep areas

Freezer and cooler note

Buyers searching commercial freezer casters usually need a tread that stays usable near freezing and a bearing that does not seize after washdown. Polyolefin and sealed polyurethane on stainless or plated rigs are the first shortlist on this page. Confirm the listing temperature low end before you park a rack in a hard freeze.

Food service caster questions

What casters for a bakery oven rack?

High-temp epoxy, phenolic, or glass-filled nylon with the temperature printed on the listing. Many oven-rack plates here are 3-1/8 x 4-1/8 in.

Are capacities per caster or per set?

Use the per-caster number unless the title says set of 4. A 3,600 lb set of 4 is 900 lb per corner when the load is even.

Do you have NSF stainless options?

Stainless food-service and Colson NSF-component styles appear in this assortment and on the S304 hub. Check the individual listing for NSF wording before you specify a health-department job.
