Light Duty Stainless Steel Plate Mount Casters (304 Stainless)

WASH-DOWN • SANITARY • CORROSION RESISTANT

Light duty 304 stainless steel plate casters specified for sanitary, corrosion-resistant environments where equipment sees wash-down, chemical cleaners, moisture, or frequent cleaning cycles. Select wheel material based on floor type, noise requirements, and temperature exposure while maintaining the correct mounting constraint.

Select a wheel configuration below, then filter products by wheel diameter, brake, and bearing type.

Available Configurations (Plate Size: 2-3/8" × 3-5/8")

W/ Black Polyolefin Wheels Chemical resistance · lightweight · common for service carts and utility use W/ Polyurethane on Polyolefin Wheels Improved tread durability · balanced rolling + floor behavior vs bare polyolefin W/ Thermo-Rubber (TPR) Wheels Quieter · floor-friendly · strong indoor institutional choice W/ Blue Solid Polyurethane Wheels Tough solid tread · strong durability · industrial cart use W/ Black Hard Rubber Wheels Resilient wheel · quieter than hard plastics · good general indoor use

Standard Configuration Envelope

Light duty stainless steel plate casters 304 stainless for wash-down use. Plate size 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 inches. Wheel options black polyolefin, polyurethane on polyolefin, thermo rubber TPR, blue solid polyurethane, and black hard rubber.

Frame Material: 304 stainless steel (major load-bearing components)
Mounting Style: Plate mount
Plate Size: 2-3/8" × 3-5/8" (this page’s standard)
Common Use: wash-down, moisture exposure, sanitary cleaning cycles
Wheel Configurations: Black Polyolefin · Polyurethane on Polyolefin · TPR · Blue Solid Polyurethane · Black Hard Rubber
Standards & Compliance: ANSI-tested designs · ICWM dimensional standards · NSF-listed models · RoHS-compliant materials · ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing partners

Selection tip: Stainless frames address corrosion; wheel material determines floor protection, noise, chemical compatibility, and temperature limits. Ratings are per caster under ideal conditions—if you cross thresholds, debris, ramps, or have impacts, increase wheel diameter or step up one duty class.

Selection Guidance

Material and sanitary performance

304 stainless: improved corrosion resistance vs plated steel in wet/cleaned environments
Wash-down use: common for equipment exposed to moisture and cleaners
Wheel selection matters: choose based on floor type, noise, chemical exposure, and temperature
Autoclave/heat: depends on wheel material and assembly rating (verify by model)

Mechanical construction (typical)

Swivel section: double ball bearing raceway (model dependent)
Fork & hardware: stainless construction for corrosion resistance
Mounting: plate mount for frames and equipment bases
Brakes: swivel, rigid, and brake options (model dependent)

How to confirm replacement fit

Confirm plate size is 2-3/8" × 3-5/8" and verify hole spacing by model
Match overall height and wheel diameter to maintain clearance
Check swivel clearance near edges, welds, and gussets
Confirm brake type (side brake / total lock) if required

Wheel material quick-choose (no fluff)

Black Polyolefin: chemical resistance, lightweight; common for utility/service carts
Polyurethane on Polyolefin: improved tread durability and floor behavior vs bare polyolefin
TPR: quieter and floor-friendly for indoor institutional environments
Blue Solid Polyurethane: tough solid tread for durability in industrial cart use
Black Hard Rubber: resilient wheel with quieter performance than hard plastics

FAQ

Why use stainless steel plate mount casters?

Stainless construction improves corrosion resistance and supports sanitary cleaning requirements in wash-down or chemical-exposure environments.

Are these casters suitable for wash-down areas?

They are commonly specified for wash-down environments, depending on the wheel material and the specific cleaners and exposure conditions.

What plate size is used on this page?

The configurations listed here maintain the 2-3/8" × 3-5/8" plate size constraint for consistent mounting fit.

Can these be used in autoclaves?

Autoclave suitability depends on wheel material and the overall assembly specification—verify temperature and cleaning requirements by model.
