About Caster Shims & Weld Plates

Shims adjust caster mount height in 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4 inch increments. Weld plates create a flat mounting surface where one doesn't exist. Both are common in OEM and equipment retrofit work.

How to Choose

1. Shim for Floor Unevenness

When a 4-caster cart has 1 corner that doesn't touch the floor, shim that caster to level the cart.

2. Weld Plate for New Mounts

When equipment has no caster mount, weld a plate to the equipment leg and bolt the caster to the plate.

3. Shim Thickness

1/16, 1/8, 1/4 inch standard increments. Stack multiple for thicker adjustments.

4. Match Plate Size

Shims and weld plates match standard caster plate sizes — 4 x 4-1/2 most common.
