Shepherd rigid caster 9441 is a stem and socket mount caster that lets you move refrigerators and other heavy appliances while keeping the wheel path predictable. The rigid design directs movement in a straight line, which matters when you are guiding weight through tight clearances or narrow service spaces. A 250 lb capacity rating describes how much load a single caster supports, so four casters working together carry typical appliance weight without stressing one point. The white hard plastic wheels have a 7/8 inch diameter that rolls under compact bases, helping appliances ride over small thresholds instead of dragging on the floor. The caster body is made of hardened zinc, giving the load-bearing structure a solid feel under weight and supporting repeated moves during installation, service, or layout changes.
This stem and socket mount caster connects through a mating socket, so the vertical stem locks the wheel assembly at a fixed point under the appliance frame. That direct connection helps keep the 7/8 inch plastic wheel centered under its load, which is important when you move refrigerators and other heavy appliances out from cabinetry runs. Because the caster is rigid with no brake, it rolls in line with the stem axis, aiding controlled back-and-forth movement for service or cleaning. The hardened zinc body holds the stem and wheel together, allowing the mount to carry the rated 250 lb capacity during standard appliance repositioning tasks.
This stem mounted appliance caster is identified as an appliance caster for refrigerators and other heavy appliances, so it suits situations where you want heavy units to roll out of alcoves or from under counters. The stem and socket mount makes the caster part of a defined mounting system, which works well on appliance bases or frames set up to accept that style. The 7/8 inch white hard plastic wheel offers a compact rolling diameter, fitting under low-clearance bases while still letting the appliance travel forward and backward. Because it is not recommended for cushioned vinyl and hardwood floor, it fits best on harder surfaces where point loading from a hard plastic wheel is appropriate.
The rigid configuration of this caster keeps movement straight, so repeated pulls on a refrigerator follow a familiar path, which helps when working in finished kitchens with tight side reveals. The 250 lb capacity means that, used in sets of four, the casters distribute load so each unit carries only a portion of the total appliance weight, supporting smoother rolling over the same path without overloading one corner. The hardened zinc caster body provides a solid housing around the wheel and stem, which supports consistent performance every time the appliance is rolled out for service or installation checks in the same location. The white hard plastic 7/8 inch wheel diameter keeps the center of gravity relatively low while still lifting the base off the floor, so you can repeat moves without changing the appliance stance or reach.
The Shepherd rigid caster 9441 uses a stem and socket mount, which locks the caster through a defined socket connection and helps keep the wheel aligned under the appliance frame during movement.
Each caster has a 250 lb capacity, so load can be distributed across multiple casters under a refrigerator or other heavy appliance to support rolling without overstressing one point.
This caster uses white hard plastic wheels with a 7/8 inch diameter, giving a compact rolling profile that fits under low bases while providing a smooth rolling surface on suitable floors.
The Shepherd 9441 caster is not recommended for use on cushioned vinyl and hardwood floor, so it is intended for other surfaces where hard plastic wheel contact is appropriate.
This product is a rigid caster with no brake, so it tracks in a fixed line along the stem axis, which supports controlled straight-line appliance movement.
