Ball Casters
GLASSLINE stocks a large quantity of ball casters. These casters are specially designed for the glass industry to minimize scratching by eliminating the skidding inherent in standard wheel-type casters. The free rotation of the ball, on a separately free spinning shaft/stem virtually eliminates any skidding. The ball fits very snugly on the shaft, but can be separately replaced. The shaft is inserted into a threaded stem, which mounts to your table and comes with two locknuts for setting the height of the unit. Therefore the shaft/ball assembly can also be easily replaced without disassembling the stem and losing the height setting.
