5in Polyurethane Directional Stem Caster 130lb Load Pkg Qty 2

Overview

This heavy-duty directional stem caster is engineered to deliver superior mobility and floor protection for commercial and industrial equipment. Featuring a 5-inch polyurethane wheel, this unit combines high load-bearing capacity with smooth rolling performance. Designed for light-to-medium duty applications, each caster supports a static load of 130 lbs, ensuring stable transport for carts, racks, and machinery. The non-marking wheel compound prevents scuffing on delicate indoor surfaces such as vinyl, tile, and sealed concrete. Sold in a package of two, these casters offer an efficient upgrade solution for facilities requiring reliable, low-maintenance movement without compromising floor integrity.

handling carts in warehouses and distribution centers Suitable for mobile shelving units in libraries and archival storage Perfect for medical equipment stands and hospital supply carts Effective for restaurant bus tubs and food service utility carts Recommended for light industrial assembly line trolleys Used in retail stockroom inventory management systems Applicable for audio-visual equipment racks in conference facilities Great for janitorial cleaning carts and maintenance utility vehicles Performance Notes The polyurethane construction offers a balanced compromise between the hardness of nylon and the softness of rubber, providing durability against chemicals and oils while maintaining a quiet operation. The 5-inch diameter allows the caster to roll effortlessly over thresholds, expansion joints, and small debris that might obstruct smaller wheels. The directional stem configuration locks the wheel orientation to prevent swiveling, which is critical for equipment that must move in a straight line or fit within narrow aisles where lateral movement could cause instability. This design significantly enhances control when transporting tall or top-heavy loads. The specified 130 lb capacity per caster means a set of four can safely support a total static load of 520 lbs, making them appropriate for substantial equipment that does not require the extreme ratings of heavy-industry forged steel casters. Regular inspection of the stem insertion point is recommended to ensure secure attachment to the host equipment frame.
