Square Stem Caster

Square stems fit into a square tube. The stem is held in place with a cotter pin. This attachment type is found on shelving racks.

Expanding Stem Caster

Expanding adapters fit into a variety of inner diameter round or square tubes depending on adapter kit and size of tube. This attachment type is great for hollow legs and tubes.

When the stem is inserted, the rubber adapter is expanded to fit the size of the hollow tube or leg.

Hollow Kingpin Caster

Does not have a stem, but rather an opening for a bolt to be inserted into the opening to act as the stem. This is a great option if you can’t find a caster with the threaded stem size you need.
