How to Choose the Right Food Service Caster

Temperature

Match the wheel to the heat at the floor, not the oven cavity. Scorcher and high-heat nylon hold up to 550°F for deck, convection, and rack ovens. Cast metal wheels carry the same load to 750°F for rotisserie and the hottest equipment. Polyolefin and polyurethane are for ambient and refrigerated use only.

NSF & Washdown

For wash bays, dish tables, and refrigeration, specify 304 stainless rigs with grease-sealed raceways. Stainless resists corrosion from daily washdown and sanitizer, and sealed bearings keep water out of the swivel.

Mount & Fit

Replacement casters must match the equipment footprint. Confirm plate size and bolt hole pattern for top-plate equipment, or stem diameter and thread for stem-mounted legs. Work tables with 1-5/8 inch 16-gauge legs use an expanding adaptor stem.

Capacity

Divide the loaded equipment weight across three casters, not four, so the unit stays rated if one wheel is off the floor. Add a margin for dynamic loads on uneven kitchen tile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which food service casters are NSF listed?

Our stainless and food service plate and stem casters carry NSF-listed configurations, including 304 stainless rigs with grease-sealed raceways for washdown and refrigeration. Confirm the exact SKU on its product page for NSF status.

What temperature can these casters handle?

High-heat nylon wheels are rated to 550°F for ovens and bakery racks. Cast metal wheels carry load to 750°F for the hottest equipment. Polyolefin and polyurethane wheels are for ambient and refrigerated use, not high heat.

Do you offer adjustable-height casters?

Yes. The Jarvis 36 Series adjusts load height from 7-3/4 to 9-1/4 inches and locks with a set screw, rated to 300 lb. It is sourced to order, so ask for the current lead time.

How do I match a replacement caster to my equipment?

For top-plate equipment, measure the plate length and width and the bolt hole pattern. For stem-mounted legs, measure the stem diameter and thread, or the inside diameter of the tube for expanding adaptors. Send us the numbers and we will confirm the fit.

What is the lead time?

In-stock casters ship in 1 to 2 business days from Mansfield, TX. Sourced items such as NSF stainless and adjustable-height casters are quoted with a lead time before you order.

Can I get these with a brake?

Yes. Total lock, face-contact, and VertiLoc brake options are available across the food service lines. The brake variant SKU is listed on each product page.

Do you sell matched sets?

Most equipment uses two swivel and two rigid casters, or swivel casters with brakes on two corners. Each product page lists its rigid and brake companion so you can build the correct set.

Are stainless casters worth it for refrigeration?

For coolers, freezers, and washdown areas, 304 stainless rigs with sealed bearings resist corrosion that zinc-plated steel will not. They cost more but last in wet, sanitized environments.
