Light Duty Plate Casters are recommended for light assembly dollies, hand trucks, wire racks, and shopping carts. Light Duty Plate Casters are also used for rolling display racks, chests, and cabinets. Stem Mount casters are typically used when space is limited and a top plate won't fit on the application. As such, the majority of stem casters are considered light to medium duty.

Stainless steel casters are a good choice for many environments because they are rust-proof, durable, and can withstand exposure to weather, chemicals, and wash-downs.
