Leveling casters

A leveling caster has a wheel for moving and a pad that screws or ratchets down to lift the wheel off the floor. Machines and racks stay put without chocks, and the pad can level them on an uneven floor. The Blickle leveling casters here are rated about 400 to 2,200 lb.

Fitting metric parts

Check the plate size and bolt spacing against your equipment. A 100 x 85 mm plate is close to 3-15/16 x 3-3/8 in but will not line up with a 4 x 4-1/2 in pattern.
