Unmatched Quality | Expert Advice Available

What are Stainless Steel Casters?

Stainless steel casters are essential components used to support and move heavy equipment and machinery. They are typically constructed from high-quality stainless steel, offering exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance.

Applications of Stainless Steel Casters

Stainless steel casters are used in a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Industrial Machinery

    Manufacturing plants, factories, and warehouses rely on stainless steel casters for heavy-duty equipment like conveyors, assembly lines, and material handling carts.

  • Medical Equipment

    Hospitals, clinics, and laboratories use stainless steel casters on medical carts, examination tables, and other equipment to ensure easy mobility and maintain a clean environment.

  • Food Processing and Manufacturing

    Stainless steel casters are ideal for food processing facilities due to their corrosion resistance and easy cleaning properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the load capacity of this caster?+

This Colson 4"x2" Stainless Caster 4"x4.5" Plate Precision Ball Bearing is rated to 400 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 Gray Rubber wheel with a 2" tread width. Rubber absorbs shock and protects floors, and runs quietly, which suits noise-sensitive and light-to-medium duty use.

What plate size and bolt pattern does it use?+

This caster uses a top-plate mount with a 4" x 4-1/2" plate and a 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.

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

This is a Rigid caster. Rigid casters track straight for directional stability. 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 Gray Rubber wheel performs best on rough, uneven, or outdoor surfaces such as asphalt, gravel, and cracked concrete. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.

What is the overall mounted height?+

The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 5.63". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.

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).
