A coaster for heavy equipment in a commercial kitchen permits easier movement of the equipment for cleaning purposes. The coaster has a rigid, high strength body which includes a recess in the top surface which receives a leg of the heavy equipment, such as a commercial range. The coaster is cylindrical with a rounded lower edge and includes a drain passage between the floor of the recess and the outside of the sidewall. The coaster is made of a low friction polymer which is rugged and chemically resistant, such as polyoxymethylene.
