Food Cart Caster

Dietary carts are used in a variety of environments which means the dietary cart casters are also in a variety of elements..  Some kitchen cart casters receive frequent wash down and may be exposed to high temperatures from steam and drying systems. Cafeteria cart casters are subjected to cleaners, waxes, chemicals, and grease. Cart casters, in some cases, are used both indoors and outdoors and are subject to weather, snow, salt, grit, and grime.

The choice of dietary cart casters varies to match each of these circumstances.  In addition, you must choose a kitchen cart caster that matches the fittings of the cart manufacturer.  The good news is that we are able to help you with all of these problems!

On a daily basis we receive calls for special replacement casters for Lakeside cart casters, Seco cart casters, Metro cart casters, Rubbermaid cart casters, Alto-shaam cart casters, Alladin cart casters, and a variety of others.  99% of the time we can help you determine the caster that you need and ship it to you right away

Lakeside Cart Caster

The Lakeside caster that our customers most often request is pictured to the right.  It is a replacement Lakeside cart swivel caster with a 5” diameter wheel.  The wheel is a special synthetic rubber that is non-marking and provides more “shock dampening” than competitor wheels

Dietary cart casters and kitchen cart casters, whether Lakeside casters, Metro casters, Seco casters, Alto-shaam casters, Alladin casters, Caddy casters, or Artromick casters. or some other national brand, are in many cases common off-the-shelf institutional casters.  Other times, the cart manufacturer uses a special fitting or stem.   Getting a replacement caster for you is really simple.  We just need to make sure that the stem, or top plate, that mounts the caster to the cart, matches your existing stem or the top plate.
