Frequently Asked Questions

Which casters are suited for food-contact zones?
Specific Colson and Darnell-Rose stainless caster SKUs are built for food-contact zones, with smooth surfaces, no harboring crevices, and corrosion resistance — but not all stainless casters fit every requirement. Tell us the specific SKU and your inspection requirement, and contact our team for official manufacturer documentation and specifications.
How do I match wheel material and construction to a food zone?
The wheel compound and the caster construction are specified together for cleanability and food-contact suitability. For most food-manufacturing applications you need both a food-grade wheel material and a cleanable stainless caster construction. Contact our team for official manufacturer documentation and specifications.
