What temperature are oven rack casters rated for?

Most high temperature oven and bakery casters are rated up to 450°F depending on wheel material and construction.

Where are high temperature casters used?

They are commonly used on bakery oven racks, pan dollies, proofing carts, and commercial food production equipment.

High Temperature Oven & Bakery Casters (Up to 450°F)

Q: Do high temperature casters require special bearings?

Yes. Heat-tolerant bearing systems such as bronze bushings are used to prevent seizure at elevated temperatures.

High Temperature Oven & Bakery Casters

HEAT-RATED • FOOD SERVICE • OVEN RACK USE

High temperature casters engineered for oven racks, bakery racks, pan dollies, and food production carts operating in elevated heat environments. These casters are specified where standard wheels fail due to thermal breakdown, flat-spotting, or bearing seizure.

This category focuses on thermal stability, load retention, and long service life through repeated bake cycles, wash-down, and continuous rolling.

Available High-Temperature Configurations

4" High-Temp Wheel — Plate Mount Rated up to 450°F · most common oven rack configuration 5" High-Temp Wheel — Stem Mount Rated up to 450°F · increased clearance and load handling

Standard High-Temperature Performance Envelope

High temperature oven and bakery casters rated up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit for oven racks, bakery racks, pan dollies, and food service equipment.

Temperature Rating: Up to 450°F (model dependent)
Typical Wheel Materials: High-temp phenolic · solid polyurethane · steel
Bearing Options: Bronze bushings or heat-tolerant bearing systems
Caster Styles: Swivel and rigid configurations
Mounting: Plate mount and stem mount options available
Industries: Bakery · food production · commercial kitchens

Selection tip: Heat rating alone is not enough. Consider continuous vs intermittent exposure, floor type, load per caster, and cleaning method. For frequent oven cycling, larger wheel diameters reduce stress and extend service life.

Selection Guidance

Why high-temperature casters matter

Standard casters often fail in bakery and oven environments due to heat-induced wheel deformation, bearing seizure, or material breakdown. High-temperature casters preserve rolling performance, load capacity, and safety through repeated thermal cycles.

Typical applications

Bakery oven racks and roll-in racks
Pan dollies and proofing carts
Commercial food production equipment
High-temperature wash-down environments

When to size up

Heavy rack loads or tall stacked trays
Continuous oven cycling throughout the day
Uneven floors or frequent direction changes
