80/20: Leveling Caster Overview

Показать описание

Hello and welcome to 80/20’s product highlight series. Today we’re going to take a look at the leveling caster. This caster is great for applications that require level surfaces, but also may need to move from time to time. It’s available in fractional and metric, and across a wide range of profile series. This caster can be installed on the end of a profile, or on the side of it. Regardless on how you decide to mount it, a bolt assembly and a base plate will be required. More information on 80/20’s recommended bolt assemblies can be found in the 80/20 product catalog.

Now for our example, we decided to mount it on the side of the profile. We’ve already got our base plate mounted on there. So we’re going to take our caster, flip it upside down and we’ll line up the holes on the caster, with the ones on the base plate. From there, we’ll take our bolts, and thread them in there one by one. Now once we have those tightened down. The great feature about this caster, is that when you need it to move, you can use the wheel on the back and when you need a level surface, you just adjust the caster to lower the leveling foot, and you have your leveling foot.
