Threaded stem casters for shopping carts are primarily used to replace existing casters on shopping carts when they become worn or damaged. They have polyurethane treads and precision ball bearings that roll smoothly and minimize noise that can irritate customers who are using the carts. They also have a thread guard that stops debris from getting inside the caster and damaging or contaminating it. Threaded stem casters for shopping carts are also sometimes used on items such as food-service and hotel equipment, racks, cases, and laundry carts.

Threaded stem casters are the most commonly used type of stem caster. They have a threaded stem on top that screws into a threaded hole, bracket, insert, or socket on a piece of equipment. The casters allow the equipment to roll, which reduces the effort it takes to move or reposition the equipment. Threaded stem casters are typically used to add casters on equipment where there is not enough room on the equipment's mounting surface to attach a plate caster's mounting plate.
