Rubbermaid 3-Inch Swivel Stem Caster 7/16" 🛒
Description:
This 3-inch swivel stem caster set offers quiet, non marking mobility for utility carts, mop buckets and workshop equipment, with a soft rubber tread that resists oils and cleaning solvents. If you need replacement caster wheels for Rubbermaid mop bucket models, these four heavy duty TPR wheels deliver smoother rolling and a 360° swivel to ease movement during cleaning and transport.
Key Points
The wheels use thermoplastic rubber treads that reduce noise and avoid scuffing floors during routine use. 🧹 Ball bearing swivel mechanisms help each caster pivot freely, which makes pushing a loaded cart or mop bucket noticeably easier. These casters are rated for domestic and light commercial environments and are said to resist common cleaning chemicals and steam, according to the manufacturer.
Installation is straightforward with a grip ring stem measuring 7/16 inch in diameter and 1-3/8 inches in length. The plastic socket included has a 19/32-inch outer diameter so the parts fit into many existing mounts without extra adapters. Consider that these wheels are replacement parts and may not match proprietary locking or brake systems on some branded carts.
Usage Recommendations
For best performance, fit all four wheels at once so load distribution remains even and the cart tracks straight. 🔧 Clean the stem and socket area before insertion to ensure the grip ring seats properly and to prevent premature wear. If you use the cart on abrasive or very rough surfaces frequently, periodic inspection is suggested because high abrasion can shorten tread life.
These casters work well on utility carts, mop buckets, shop vacuums, grills, stools and lightweight dollies. They are particularly useful in spaces where quiet operation and non marking contact are priorities, such as clinics, schools and hospitality areas. Note that while the rubber compound is resistant to many substances, prolonged exposure to strong solvents may affect longevity.
