Additional Information

Extended Information (FAQ Section):

1. What size stem does this caster use?
This caster uses a 1/2-13 x 7/8 threaded stem with a key lock base, designed to fit most standard shopping carts. This is considered a universal replacement shopping cart and an OEM version meaning it is the authentic brand for all retail shopping carts in the USA.

2. Can I use this caster for other carts besides shopping carts?
Yes! While primarily designed for shopping carts, this caster can be used on other retail, warehouse, or utility carts that require similar specs.

3. Does this caster leave marks on floors?
No. The wheel is made from non-marking polyurethane, which protects flooring and rolls quietly on hard surfaces like tile, concrete, and wood.

4. Should I replace all four casters at once?
For best performance, we recommend replacing casters in pairs—either both front or both rear casters—to ensure even wear and balance.

5. Are these casters corrosion-resistant?
Yes. The zinc-plated finish protects against corrosion, making these casters durable even in humid or high-traffic environments.

6. How much weight can each caster hold?
Each caster supports up to 300 lbs, making them ideal for heavy-duty commercial applications.

7. How do I install this caster?
Simply unscrew the existing caster and replace it with the new one using the 1/2-13 x 7/8 threaded stem. Tighten securely to ensure stability.

8. Are escalator-compatible casters available?
Yes, escalator-compatible casters are available. Contact us for more information on escalator-specific solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the load capacity of this caster?+

This 5" Polyurethane Swivel Caster – 1/2-13 x 7/8" Threaded Stem is rated to 300 lbs per caster. Size a set by dividing the total load by the number of casters, and for uneven floors assume 3 of 4 casters carry the load. Keep continuous-use loads within about 75-80% of the rating.

What wheel does this caster use?+

This caster runs a Polyurethane wheel. Polyurethane protects finished floors, rolls quietly, and resists most chemicals while carrying heavy loads.

How does this caster mount to my equipment?+

This caster uses a Threaded Stem mount (1/2"-13 x 7/8" stem). Stem casters press or thread into a socket - verify the stem diameter and length match your existing setup before ordering.

Is this a swivel or rigid caster, and how does the brake work?+

This is a Swivel caster. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for full maneuverability. For most mobile equipment we recommend 2 swivel + 2 rigid, or 4 swivel with at least 2 brakes.

What temperature range can this caster handle?+

Rated for -20°F to 180°F. Operating outside the rated range can reduce wheel life and load capacity, so match it to your environment (wash-down, freezer, oven-adjacent, etc.).

What floors and applications is it best for?+

The Polyurethane wheel performs best on smooth to semi-smooth floors including sealed concrete, tile, and epoxy. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.

How do I order, and what are the terms?+

We accept purchase orders and offer Net 30 on approved accounts, ACH, and all major cards, plus tax-exempt ordering with a resale or exemption certificate. Volume discounts apply automatically; request a bulk quote for large or recurring orders. Stock items carry a 30-day return policy in unused condition (made-to-order items are non-returnable once production starts).
