Total Lock Stem · TPR / Rubber

This collection holds Tl Stem Tpr Rubber casters, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 190 to 1,400 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 3 up to 5 inches in diameter with a 1-1/4 in tread width. The collection includes swivel and brake models. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) is quiet, will not mark floors, and rolls over chips and grit. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Match the stem size and thread before you order. 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. Rubber aisle: rubber casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.
