5 inch stainless steel swivel caster (304).
The washdown workhorse: a 125 mm synthetic rubber wheel on a 304 stainless swivel fork, plate and hardware — specified grade-per-component for food, beverage and clean equipment duty.

This is the caster that replaces the plated ones your maintenance team keeps swapping out of the washdown plant. Fork, top plate, axle and hardware are 304 stainless through the cross-section, so the daily caustic foam and rinse cycle has no coating to strip. The synthetic rubber wheel is non-marking, quiet and washdown-tolerant, running on dual ball bearings with a sealing arrangement specified for wet duty.
The grade honesty rule applies in full: this is a 304 caster. It is not compared against 316 products as if they were equivalents, and if your environment is a genuine 316 environment — sustained chlorides, marine exposure — the RFQ is the place to say it, so the quotation is built on the right grade from the start. The washdown guide explains the grade decision.
Configuration options
- Braked version — see the 5 inch stainless swivel with brake.
- Rigid companions for straight-tracking equipment.
- 316 grade quoted as its own specification for high-chloride environments.
What the sample verifies
Before bulk production, the production sample of this model is checked against the locked specification: wheel diameter and — critically — wheel width measured, tread hardness verified, bearing type confirmed, fork and plate thickness measured, and load performance tested per the stated convention (EN 12532 / ANSI ICWM). The approved sample becomes the reference for the shipment, and the order carries batch traceability back to it.

About this model
Is every metal part really stainless?
That is the specification: fork, plate, axle and fasteners are each stated by grade on the quotation. A stainless fork on carbon hardware would defeat the purpose, and the quotation format exists to prevent exactly that substitution.
304 or 316 for a seafood plant?
Seafood and brine environments are the classic borderline: routine washdown with chlorinated cleaners usually runs 304 successfully; sustained brine immersion argues for 316. Describe the regime in the RFQ and the quotation will state its grade basis.
Can the bearing survive pressure washing?
Bearing and sealing arrangements for this line are specified for washdown duty and stated on the quotation; direct high-pressure jets at seals are still poor practice on any caster, and the sample review covers the arrangement in detail.
Need this caster under your own brand?
Private label, custom packaging and carton marks are available across the range — mention it in the RFQ and the quotation will include the branding steps.
