Spring Loaded Stepstool Casters?

[Richard D]

I built a Shaker-style two step stool, I'd like to put some casters under it, not having any luck finding what I want. I want the type that collapse when weight is put on them. Need to be plate mounted, not stud mounted. The step only weighs about 20 lbs, so 1" wheels, very light duty is fine. Any suggestions?

That's a stud mount, I need a flat plate style.

might have to fab something up with some stem casters , springs , a welder and some creativity

Possibly. It’s really not that big of a deal to slide it out, but if I could find a quick easy solution, I would’ve done it. It’s just nice to add a little while factor to some of the things I build.

Wow factor.
