Great low profile caster option
Noise reduction
Caster Connection’s own CCAPEX-A3S earned a blue ribbon in this category. Sealed precision ball bearings ensure a quiet ride, ideal for hospital environments, while special orange urethane keeps rolling smoothly. Combined with a dust cap to keep debris out, this caster won’t wake up babies in the nursery. With an overall height of 3-7/8 inches and a weight of 300 pounds, it’s truly versatile. Best of all, it’s also maintenance-free!
Heat resistant
“Better than high temperature phenolic” Hamilton Scorcher casters are the best of both worlds. Not only can it withstand temperatures up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s also unmarked and can handle exposure to photochemicals. Plus it’s 4 inches overall height and 260 lbs. Weight-bearing capacity, this is a solid low overall height option. They are perfect for bakeries and other environments where heat is a problem.
Dry Caster Options
The 03MA25IB3668YY is a very low overall height threaded stem caster with load bearing capacity. The wheels are made of glass-filled nylon with no flat spots and are perfect for wet conditions. It can hold up to 350 pounds. Although only 3-3/8 inches tall. This is a full-featured caster that won’t let you down in a garage or warehouse.
Honorable Mention
Leveling casters are ideal for maintaining a static load while maintaining a low overall height. What they lack in mobility, they make up for in strength. The LV0300V4 has an overall height of just 3.23 inches and weighs a whopping 600 pounds!
Lowest of the low
There are lows, and then there are lows. The caster connection comes with two casters that are below all other overall heights mentioned. These are really great casters. Blickle’s LPA-VSTH 35K has an overall height of only 52mm (1.3in) and still can carry 220lbs! It comes with non-marking polyurethane and a dust cover. Its big brother, the LKPA-VSTH 50K, has an overall height of 50 mm (1.97 in) and can carry 350 lbs! Astonishing! They are perfect for hotels, hospitals, warehouses and any other place where overall height and noise reduction are a priority.
Low Profile Heavy Duty Casters
The simple, low-profile design of these fixed casters not only allows them to be installed easily and unobtrusively, but their compact footprint also allows installation in locations that are too restrictive for other caster types. In addition to their primary use, they can also be used as rollers on workshop rails.
Low profile casters are so named because of their lower than average installation height (the distance between the floor and the product when the caster is properly installed). Low profile casters are ideal for applications requiring low clearance heights. These casters are ideal for copiers, refrigeration units and other heavy equipment that may not be moved frequently. Low clearance brings the product’s center of gravity closer to the ground without rendering the product unusable. Low profile casters generally have a higher load capacity; some of the casters here can support 1,000 lbs each.

Threaded or unthreaded casters are available in any of these sizes for easy mounting on your equipment. Our Basic Single Wheel Pneumatic Caster is a great multipurpose caster for those who are likely to use the same wheel over and over. Meanwhile, our dual-wheel casters make it easier to swivel and move large items, reducing chatter during movement.

Many of our low-profile casters include enhanced safety features to protect your most expensive equipment, big or small. Some of these applications have an optional push-brake feature for easier stopping. This security feature allows you to better protect your device when you move it. If you’re increasingly concerned about using the brakes on your device, we also have thumbscrew brakes that take longer to apply but protect the device from any movement. We also have a large selection of pneumatic casters.
