Stainless Steel & Ergonomic Caster Specialists
At All States Casters, we have 85 years of combined experience providing our customers with the right solutions. We have the products and knowledge to solve all of your caster needs.
Typically, manufacturers of rolling equipment select casters and wheels that minimally meet mobility needs of the end user, with little or no consideration for durability or workplace ergonomics. After a relatively short time, these “entry-level” casters fail, and must be replaced.
It is at this point that All States Casters’ highly experienced team, with our multiple sources and large inventories, can specify and provide high quality replacement casters and wheels that will exceed your expectations and provide years of trouble-free service. You can depend on All States to recommend and provide the correct caster the first time – every time.

How do caster wheels differ from regular wheels?
A caster wheel is a wheel mounted in a frame bracket that allows it to swivel and rotate in multiple directions Each wheel has different capacity ranging from 50lbs to as high as 15k lbs. Wheels come with different bearings which allow the wheel to roll with little effort. This flexibility is essential for maneuvering carts, racks, and furniture in commercial and industrial settings.
What are casters used for in industrial and office applications?
We use casters in industrial and office environments to add mobility to equipment and furniture. In factories, they’re found on carts, racks, and machinery for easy transport. In offices, casters are commonly attached to chairs, desks, and filing cabinets, allowing to rearrange workspaces quickly. Their main purpose is to improve efficiency, reduce manual lifting, and make it easier to clean or reconfigure spaces.
How do I replace casters on an office chair without special tools?
To replace casters on an office chair, we simply turn the chair upside down and grip the caster firmly. Using a screwdriver, apply pressure to the base of the caster. In an upward motion press down. The caster will pop up which will allow you to remove the caster. Most office chair casters pull straight out with a little force. If they’re stuck, we gently wiggle them back and forth while pulling. To install new casters, align the stem to the socket and push until it clicks into place.
How do I attach casters to metal legs on tables or industrial racks?
We start by selecting casters with the correct stem or plate mount for the metal legs. For stem casters, we insert the stem into the pre-drilled hole and tap gently with a rubber mallet if needed. For plate-mounted casters, we align the plate with the mounting holes, then use bolts or screws to secure it. Ensuring a snug fit keeps the caster stable and secure.
How to stop casters from rolling on hardwood or tile floors?
We can use casters with brakes, which hold equipment in place. This allows you to relax with no worry of the equipment moving. Some equipment require two casters with brakes so it assures no movement.
