Extremely heavy duty castors for business machines & store fixtures forged top plate with hardened CNC machined raceways Kingpinless construction. Very low overall height. Low profile casters are ideal for applications which require a low clearance height. These casters are great for copiers, refrigeration units, and other heavy equipment which may not move often. The low clearance keeps the product’s center of gravity closer to the ground and does not render the product unusable.

Casters are essentially special housings that include a wheel, facilitating the installation of wheels on objects. A caster (or castor) is an undriven wheel that is designed to be attached to the bottom of a larger object (the “vehicle”) to enable that object to be moved. There are two basic styles of casters: swivel or rigid. The style of caster that is best for you depends on the level of maneuverability your piece of equipment needs.
