Quick-mount brackets for plate casters reduce the time it takes to install and remove plate casters on carts or other equipment compared to the standard method of bolting on the casters. This helps improve efficiency and speed in applications where casters need to be frequently replaced on equipment. The brackets are welded into place on the equipment. They have a retaining bolt that holds casters in the bracket, and the bolt can be removed to allow the casters to slide in and out of the bracket as they're being installed or removed on the equipment. This design eliminates the need to precisely match the mounting holes on the equipment with the holes on the casters' mounting plates, which allows a wider variety of casters to be used on the equipment.
