Equipment Vault

CasterHQ Account Infrastructure

Buy it once.
Save it once.
Never identify it again.

The Equipment Vault is a permanent equipment record system built into every CasterHQ account. Each caster order is saved to the machine it goes on, with a photo, installed quantities, and full order history. When a wheel fails three years from now, the replacement is one click, not an identification project.

Process

Thirty seconds at checkout. Covered for the life of the equipment.

A caster is identified once, at purchase, when the spec is known. Everything after that is retrieval.

01

Save the order to its equipment

Name the machine, cart, or fixture in your own words and pick its type. SKUs, quantities, order number, and purchase date attach to the record automatically. Nothing is re-typed.

02

Add a photo on the floor

One photo taken standing next to the equipment. From then on, anyone on the team can match record to machine on sight, including people hired years after the original purchase.

03

Reorder the exact spec

Open the record, press reorder, and the same part numbers in the installed quantities go to the cart. No measuring plates, no guessing stem threads, no photos of worn casters emailed around.

Why it exists

Built for procurement discipline

/Spec continuity

Wheel material, load rating, mount type, and swivel or rigid position stay locked to the equipment record. Replacements match the original engineering decision, not whoever happens to be reordering that day.

/Provenance per machine

Every order tied to a piece of equipment stays on its record with order numbers and dates. Repeat purchases extend the history; they never overwrite it.

/Survives turnover

When the engineer who specified the casters leaves, the record stays. Name, photo, location, and part numbers live in the company account, not in someone's inbox.

/Shorter MRO cycles

Downtime waits on identification more than on freight. A saved record turns a failed caster into a same-day reorder from Mansfield, TX stock.

Questions

Straight answers

Does the Equipment Vault cost anything?

No. It is included with every CasterHQ account. Any caster, wheel, or dolly order can be saved to it.

Do I need to remember a password?

No. CasterHQ accounts sign in with a one-time code sent to your email. The Vault buttons in your order emails take you straight in.

Can I save equipment from an order placed months ago?

Yes. Open the Vault from your account and any past order with eligible items can be organized onto equipment records.

What if the caster count on a machine changes?

Edit the installed quantity on the record at any time. Purchase history stays intact, so the record shows what is on the machine now and everything ever bought for it.

Your next caster failure is a 30-second fix

Save the equipment once. From then on, replacement is a click, not a project.
