This page is for our 5" X 2" stainless steel (S304) swivel caster and is considered a medium to heavy-duty caster series in the industry and combined with a Hard tread Phenolic Wheel. The stainless steel is 304 Stainless steel, double ball swivel raceway with a grease fitting, and 1/2" cold-forged stainless steel top plate & yoke legs. This is the highest quality stainless steel caster in the industry and is commonly used in the Food Service industry, Platform trucks, industrial, and commercial applications. The mounting plate size on this series is 4" x 4-1/2" with many upgradeable options available including stainless bearings, Delrin bearings, and multiple stainless steel brake options as well. Load Capacities up to 1,250 lbs per caster depending on the size. The wheel is a Phenolic Wheel which is a very strong and hard wheel that is going to be easy to roll and will not flat spot under heavy static loads. Phenolic wheels are great for long-term storage solutions and they are very affordable wheels. Phenolic wheels are not the best wheels to be used around heavy washdown applications long term but are a very resistant wheel to oils, chemicals, mild acids, and other harsh substances.
Stainless Steel 3/4" Roller Bearing and Spanner Included - To upgrade to a stainless steel precision bearing use the menu on the right-hand side. Precision bearings are easier to roll, quieter, and sealed which means they are maintenance-free and do not require grease.

This 5" x 2" Phenolic Swivel Stainless Caster – 1,000 lb is rated to 1000 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.
This caster runs a Phenolic wheel with a 2" tread width. Phenolic carries high loads on smooth, hard floors and tolerates heat, but transmits more shock than an elastomer tread.
This caster uses a top-plate mount with a 4" x 4-1/2" plate and a 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" slotted to 3" x 3" bolt pattern. Measure your existing mounting holes before ordering; if you are replacing casters, match the bolt pattern - most standard patterns interchange across brands.
This is a Swivel with Brake caster with a wheel brake. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for full maneuverability. The brake locks the wheel to hold the load in place. For most mobile equipment we recommend 2 swivel + 2 rigid, or 4 swivel with at least 2 brakes.
Rated for Up to 250°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.).
The Phenolic wheel performs best on smooth, hard industrial floors. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.
The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 6-1/2". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.
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).
