A removable transport caster assembly secured to side to side beams or front to back beams in a data center cabinet in a data center. The removable transport caster assembly is temporarily installed on the cabinet to enable the cabinet to be relocated to another location in the data center. The removable transport caster assembly includes a transport caster and a transport caster bracket secured to the transport caster. The transport caster has a mounting plate, a mounting bracket extending from the mounting plate, a lifting plate pivotally connected to the mounting plate, a lifting lever pivotally connected to the mounting bracket and a wheel assembly. The transport caster bracket secures the transport caster to the cabinet when relocation of the cabinet is desired.

Exemplary aspects of the present invention are directed to a reconfigurable dolly that may include a base, one or more base plates, that may be removable from the base and nest within the base, and one or more caster wheels connected to the base to allow for movement of the reconfigurable dolly relative to the surface on which the reconfigurable dolly may be positioned. The base of the reconfigurable dolly may be configured to be coupled to a base receiving tube. The base receiving tube may be configured for telescoping receipt of a seat receiving tube. The seat receiving tube may be telescopically positionable within the base receiving tube. The seat receiving tube may be configured for receipt and retention of an adjustable seat.

A flatbed truck with a foldable caster unit, comprising a load-bearing plate, a load-bearing support frame and a caster unit, and further comprising a caster unit rotation driving device. The caster unit rotation driving device comprises an operating handle, a connecting rod, a front linkage mechanism and a rear linkage mechanism, wherein the operating handle is pivotally connected with the load-bearing plate and is rotatable around a pivot axis of the operating handle. The operating handle is capable of linking with the front linkage mechanism and the rear linkage mechanism via the connecting rod to respectively drive the front caster unit and the rear caster unit to be rotated from the folded storage position to the unfolded rolling position, when the operating handle is rotated from a first position to a second position.

An article movement system includes an article and at least one ball wheel. The article has first and second article surfaces meeting at a first article edge. The ball wheel is located along the first article edge and includes a ball, a bearing arrangement and a shell. The ball engages a surface underlying the article, the bearing arrangement supports the ball for omni-directional rotational movement, and the shell is located along the first article edge and contains the ball and the bearing arrangement. The shell defines a non-circular ball opening through which a portion of the ball extends to contact the underlying surface. The article, the bearing arrangement and the shell are configured such that the ball wheel is able to support the article for omni-directional rolling motion over the underlying surface with either of the first and article surfaces parallel thereto, and at any orientation therebetween.

The caster wheel support assembly has a first section securable to a frame member of a wheelchair and a second section holding a swivel member coupled to a caster wheel. The caster wheel support assembly has a holding member designed as a collet configured to hold a first portion of the swivel member which extends along a first axis. A second portion of the swivel member, which is coupled to the caster wheel, extends away from the first portion along a second axis which forms an angle relative to the first axis. The first portion of the swivel member is supported by the holding member to selectively allow rotation thereof relative to the holding member about the first axis, causing adjustment of a camber of the caster wheel. The collet is configured to selectively prevent or permit rotation of the swivel member relative to the holding member.

A mower front caster wheel system that includes a caster wheel assembly that rotates about a caster axis, and a stabilizer to be disposed in a bearing housing coupled to a frame of a mower such that a first portion of the stabilizer is in contact with a component that rotates with the caster wheel assembly and a second portion of the stabilizer is in contact with an internal surface of the bearing housing, to provide resistance to rotation of the caster wheel assembly relative to the bearing housing.

A low profile wheel assembly suitable for use in dollies, decks or any other platform designed for moving freight or other heavy items. It includes a wheel, a carriage on which the wheel bracket is mounted for rotation about a first axis. The wheel carriage unit fits inside an outer housing unit of this wheel assembly and by means of low friction between the wheel carriage unit and the outer housing unit enabling the wheels carriage unit to rotate concentrically while inside the outer housing unit at a different axis than the first. In this manner and at the same time that the wheel is rolling on a surface, it can change directions of where it is rolling to.

A detachable wheel assembly having a clamp, a first translation assembly coupled to the clamp and a slide assembly coupled to the clamp. The wheel assembly further includes a second translation assembly coupled to the slide assembly, an axle coupled to the second translation assembly, and a wheel coupled to the axle. The wheel assembly is attached to a support of a structure and one or more of the translation assemblies or the slide assemblies are manipulated to lift the structure off the ground. Once the structure is off the ground, the structure can be moved via the wheel on the axle.

A caster attachment is provided. The caster attachment includes a body portion having an angled plate attached to a bottom plate. The angled plate and bottom plate fit an outside corner of a case. A fastener receiving portion is affixed to the body portion. The body portion has a hole for receiving a rivet. The fastener receiving portion has a threaded bore. There is a fastener that is attached to a wheel. The fastener is attachable and detachable to the threaded bore.

An exemplary embodiment of a caster adapter includes a connecting base for coupling the caster adapter to a caster, at least two panels forming at least part of an adapter member and defining the interior of the adapter member wherein at least a portion of a leg of an object is insertable into the interior of the adapter member. The adapter member may contain a leg conforming portion that protrudes outward from the interior of the adapter member and corresponds with a leg protrusion on a leg of an object wherein the leg protrusion will fit within the leg conforming portion such that the object may be lifted off the ground without the caster adapter, and coupled caster, slipping off of the leg. The leg may be inserted into the caster adapter through an opening in the side of the adapter member, wherein the opening is blocked by the use of at least one containment member interacting with the adapter member. The leg conforming portion may be customized depending on the leg protrusion location and size on the subject leg. The containment member not only acts to retain the leg within the caster adapter but also allows for quick release of the caster adapter from the leg. The adapter member of the caster adapter is customizable to fit various geometries of legs. The containment member may be retained in proximity to the caster adapter through the use of an attachment member that is attachable to the adapter member and the containment member.
