Threaded Stem Casters - 1/2"-13x1-1/2" Stem Sizes - Steel Wheels

These steel wheel casters use a 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 in threaded stem for shop carts and racks. Casters in this collection range from 300 to 350 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 3 up to 5 in. Semi steel (gray iron) rolls with low effort and shrugs off debris. It is loud and can mark finished floors. Match the thread and stem length to the old caster before you order. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place, rigid casters for straight travel, and add a brake when the cart needs to stay put. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Measure the old wheel or caster before you buy. Check the floor type and the heaviest load the cart will carry before you choose. Stem aisle: stem casters. Steel wheel aisle: steel wheels.
