Caster Sockets and Caster Adapters from Shiffler Equipment

Caster sockets are typically made of plastic or metal, and they are designed to fit a specific size and type of caster. They typically have a cylindrical shape and are inserted into the bottom of the furniture leg, with a locking mechanism that holds the caster securely in place.
Caster adapters, on the other hand, are designed to be attached to the bottom of equipment that does not have sockets already installed. These adapters usually have a plate or bracket with holes that match the bolt pattern of the caster. They allow you to easily add casters to equipment that was not designed to have them.
