• Top Plate: A square or rectangular flat plate, which normally attaches to your equipment with four fasteners. This is the strongest and most secure way of attaching a caster to your equipment.

  Stem: A metal pin protrudes from the top of the caster into your equipment. Pin stems can be supplied with grip-rings, cross-holes, as threaded bolts or in a wide variety of other designs. Many pin stems are designed to work with sockets used to adapt the caster into round or square tubing, or into wood.

  Expanding Stem: Nylon expanders are available in a wide variety of sizes to install casters into round or square tubing. Expanding stems are available for tubes with inside dimensions from 0.708" to 1.250".

  Hollow Kingpin: This is the least expensive and easiest method of attaching casters to your equipment. With this mount, a bolt is installed through a hole in the swivel bearing. Some casters are also available with a threaded hollow kingpin. In either case, Jilson can provide the hardware needed to attach the caster to your equipment, based on your specifications.
