Bretford 044-0025 5 Caster Pack

The Bretford 044-0025 5 Caster Pack is a versatile upgrade designed to enhance mobility and stability for Bretford AV and computer carts. Specifically engineered as a replacement option for the standard 4" casters, this pack delivers smooth maneuverability on deep carpet, uneven floors, and other challenging surfaces while maintaining dependable load handling for critical equipment. With four sturdy stem casters, including two locking units, this caster pack is built to extend the life of your cart and streamline handling in classrooms, laboratories, offices, and multimedia environments. Whether you’re outfitting a new cart or upgrading an aging base, these 4" stem casters provide a robust solution that prioritizes safety, ease of use, and long-term performance.

• Optimized for challenging flooring and everyday use: Designed to replace the standard 4" casters on Bretford AV and computer carts, these stem casters roll with confidence across deep carpet, office tile, and rough floors. The improved wheel design minimizes effort when moving heavy equipment, helping users push, pull, and reposition carts with reduced friction and strain. This makes transport smoother during classes, training sessions, or media presentations where mobility matters most.
• Reliable load capacity with standout durability: Each caster in the pack is engineered to support up to 125 lbs, delivering solid performance whether the cart is loaded with AV gear, laptops, projectors, or other equipment. The collective load-bearing potential translates into dependable support for multi-shelf configurations and dense equipment setups, helping to protect your investment by maintaining stability during transit.
• Two locking casters for enhanced safety: The pack includes four stem casters, with two of them featuring a locking mechanism. The locking casters offer precise immobilization when positioning the cart near equipment, on ramps, or during loading and unloading tasks. This feature helps prevent unintended movement, reduces the risk of collisions, and keeps sensitive gear secure when a precise setup is required.
• Durable construction for frequent use: Built to withstand regular, demanding usage in busy environments, these casters are designed to endure repetitive movement, frequent stops, and long hours of operation. The stem mounting system provides a secure fit to Bretford carts, contributing to long-term reliability and consistent performance across months and years of use in education, corporate, or broadcast settings.
• Easy upgrade with broad compatibility: This 5-caster pack is intended as a straightforward upgrade option for Bretford carts that currently use 4" casters. It offers a simple upgrade path to improve mobility without replacing the entire cart frame. With a familiar stem-style mounting and standard 4" wheel size, these casters integrate smoothly into existing configurations, enabling quick turnover for inventory, maintenance, and room reconfigurations.
