Stainless steel casters are specified where corrosion resistance and washdown survival matter, including food, pharmaceutical, and dairy environments. 304 stainless is the default for general food, pharmaceutical, and dairy environments. 316 stainless adds molybdenum for chloride resistance — used for marine, salt-air, and chlorinated wash environments. Construction includes stainless rig, stainless raceway, and either stainless-clad or polymer wheels. Contact our team for official manufacturer documentation and specifications.
