How does one install the casters so they stay in place?

To install the casters simply flip the shredder on it's side , put the casters in the holes underneath and tap them in with the palm of your hand till they snap in place.

Casters are removable but I would still recommend some type of foot or cap on the ends of the legs because they are basically pipes and would probably damage most kinds of flooring if left uncovered.

Yes you can replace the casters. I had to as the ones that came with it were cheap and broke on install. Just ensure you match the stem diameter.

Someone else put them together for me, Amy, so I'm not sure. However, they're very stable on the casters -- they don't move around unless you push them. They're very heavy-duty, and very heavy, period, so I wouldn't worry about them moving. Mine have been in the same spot for months. Hope this helps.

You need to attach them with provided screws so they don't fall off. I did the same thing at first

Turn the chair upside down and rest it on the floor. Insert a wheel into the slot until it stops. Now cup theswivel with one hand so that it won't move. Now with the other hand repeatedly strike the wheel with thepalm of the other hand over and over again slowly driving the caster shaft into its seat. As you do this youwill see it slowly going a little deeper with each strike until it is seated. A job for a pretty husky man. Not sure if a woman would be able to seat it. That is how I did mine, hope it works for you.

I would cut a piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the crate.. bolt it to the crate, then mount the casters to the bottom on the plywood..

It does not come with casters, though you could remove the feet and install them separately, I suppose. Not sure I would recommend casters, though. It would seem too unstable to me.

The caster wheels are detachable. You can opt not to install them or to uninstall them if they're already on.

No. Not really. There is a plastic piece of unit that is about an eighth of an inch above the casters so you would gain a negligible amount of space even if caster did come off which I'm not 100% sure they do. I saw there was no gain so I did not investigate further. Hope that helps.

You have to measure the stem diameter of the current caster. I did that and fit perfectly. I had 3 destroyed by movers.

No, but I would imagine you could purchase casters and install them rather easily. This item is a great value. Good quality for the price.

The legs have metal or plastic caps on the bottom - it slides around quite easily already. But if you really wanted casters, I'm sure you could add them if you drilled the holes first!

I couldn't agree more! I accidentally lock them all day everyday. There is a site http://www.coolcasters.com that sells lots of casters so I'm sure we can find replacements there. Good Luck-getting new casters is on my to do list TODAY!

Unless the wheels can be locked it's unlikely. Even then the furniture/wheels would possibly shift or move within the casters thus defeating the purpose of the casters keeping the furniture in place. If it's possible the best approach would be to remove the wheels. Hope this is helpful.

They sent me the wrong chair, no casters, but you have to put the arms, legs, etc. probably not too hard. I returned my chair, . Hope this helps.

You have to disassemble the uprights to install them. I prefer it this way- if there was a slit- they would not stay on well without considerable help keeping them on. Hope this helps!
