To keep the wheels rolling, look for wheels with sealed bearings. You may be able to retrofit a set onto whatever cart you already have. (for instance) Sealed bearings are 'water repellent' but not able to keep out water if submerged, I have no idea if they would survive wash downs (I'm leaning toward: yes, but their life will be shortened). The ones I'm seeing don't have sealed swivels, so...they'll roll, but not turn after a while.
Another option would be stainless steel casters, such as these, but, dang, those are pricey.
