Shepherd Casters

These Shepherd casters are Colson Group institutional casters for chairs, furniture, medical carts, and light equipment in offices, schools, hospitals, laboratories, and material handling. Casters in this collection range from about 75 to 300 lb per caster. Series on this page include PPA, PBH, 00 Series duals, MonoTech, and gray rubber builds. Wheels in this category range from about 1-7/16 up to 4 in diameter with a mix of overall heights. Mount with a grip-ring stem, threaded stem, or top plate to match the frame. Soft rubber or polyurethane (poly or urethane) protects finished floors. Hard nylon suits carpet. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Set totals printed on some titles are not the per-caster max. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Capacities below are per caster unless a listing says set. Seating hub: chair casters. Self-brake models: self-braking chair casters.

How to replace a Shepherd part

Read the full Shepherd part number on the old caster (example patterns: PPA50223WA, PBH20223WA-3ED, C0020120ZN-TPR01).
Match stem type and size, or plate size, before you match the wheel color.
Replace the full set on a chair so overall height stays even.

Use about 75 to 300 lb per caster for this hub. Ignore set-pack totals when sizing a single corner.
