For abusive applications, it’s tough to beat a rugged cast iron or steel wheel. In this case, we needed a low overall height, a wide wheel base, and the ability to lock the wheel and swivel. Just checking all the boxes on a Monday morning.

Powder coated black frames and hardware give these low profile casters an even lower (visual) profile once installed on server racks.

POV: You’ve been selling casters for 100 years and you need to dig into the archives to match up an old part number for a customer. Albion Caster catalogs from 1978, 1984, 1989, and 1995.

We specialize in helping our customers get a grip on the subtle differences between similar casters so that they can choose the best one for their project. Although the pictured casters both have 4” wheels and 7/16” grip ring stems, one has a significantly higher capacity, is more durable, and rolls much more easily. Can you guess which one?

Some applications are just harder on your casters than others, and they require regular replacement of casters. To make this process easier, you can install a quick change plate like this one to make swapping casters quick and easy.

We try to run a tight ship here at CE Clarke & Son, and this morning the ship was about as tight as it could get. Delivering this 60”x60” 15,000 lb. capacity dock board in the , we had about 1/16”to spare inside the truck bed.

Phenolic caster wheels are some of the most versatile and durable options available. Made of macerated canvas and phenolic resin, they have a high capacity and a low cost. Pro tip: look for the “racing stripe” down the middle of the wheel as the giveaway when you are replacing your old wheels, but aren’t sure exactly what you have.

Getting cleaned up real nice today! These heavy duty casters have a polished stainless steel frame with a total-lock brake and a solid polyurethane wheel, making them great for clean room and wash down applications.

Don’t call it a comeback…. Casters with steel wheels have been around forever, but have seen a resurgence lately thanks to furniture and fixture designers going for a vintage and/or industrial look. If you’re going for a certain look with your casters, we can help!

The guts! That’s what we call the bearings, bushings, and any other behind-the-scenes components that go into your casters. Many times, you can replace worn out parts without having to buy all new casters. These caged roller bearings are just one of the various caster parts we stock to help you rebuild your casters and wheels.

MOVING/ RELOCATING? B&P Liberator hand trucks can help you get the job done!

Thrifty, but not shifty…. These casters have a total lock brake that locks the wheel and the swivel raceway. This eliminates the “shift” that can still occur even when standard wheel brakes are engaged. And with economical wheels and frames, these won’t break the bank.

Roll um easy! You’re definitely going to want brakes on these ergonomic casters from . With precision ball bearing swivel sections and dual ergonomic wheels, they pivot and roll more easily than other casters, so you’re going to need a way to make them stop!

Do you respect wood? We do! Hardwood platform trucks have been a mainstay in our product line for decades, and with good reason. Super-strong, less expensive than steel or aluminum, and easily modified, they get the job done and then some. And just like most of our carts and dollies, we customize and assemble them in-house, so they’re tailor-made just for you.

Dressed to compress! These twin wheel casters may look ordinary, but they have a secret…. a compression brake. Put these on your office chair and it will roll like a dream until you sit down. That’s when the compression brake is activated and locks the wheels in place. And if that isn’t your thing, we also have DEcompression brake casters that do the opposite.

Hard-to-find casters are just another day at the office for us! We carry casters with a wide range of optional mounting plate sizes, threaded stem sizes, and more. These 5” polyurethane casters have 3/4” diameter threaded stems, which are a bit larger than the more common 1/2” stems. The best part? We keep them in stock!

Throwing it waaay back to when was shipping to us in wooden crates to our original address (the home of the original *SON* in C.E. Clarke & Son). The crates were repurposed as stock bins and we still use them today. Based on the address, these have most likely been around since the 1930’s or 1940’s.

We'll just add that each of these product lines offered by B&P Manufacturing also carries the same unmatched quality, durability, and dependability as their hand trucks. You really can't go wrong by going with B&P!

No need to replace the whole dolly when all you need is new casters!
While we do stock a selection of brand new furniture dollies at our warehouse, we also know how you can save some $ by simply replacing the casters on your old dollies. Just give us a call or stop by!

“We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.”
This hand truck came to us in pretty bad shape, but left looking like six million dollars.
Since the broken stairclimbers weren’t the trusted brand that we carry, we just had to replace the wheel brackets to make the B&P stairclimbers fit. We also added a fresh pair of wheels and a shiny new nose plate, and this hand truck was back in action the same day that it arrived.
Bring us your beat up hand truck and most of the time we can get it back up and running while you wait.
