Can you tell me what size screw you would use to fasten these casters?

Depends on your weight load and what you're fastening to. I used four 3/4" #8 wood screws with a #8 washer when going into 3/4" plywood for a lumber cart, pushing about 200 pounds. Wouldn't use anything smaller. Would recommend a #10 3/4" if you have it.

Go to the nearest hardware store and buy longer screws. Take the short ones along so you get the right diameter and thread size.

I believe there is a diagram in the box you can follow..or try the hardware store for screw size what is the best to use

If I remember correctly the casters are what attach the bottom shelf to the posts. So, unless you get your own screws you won't be able to use it without the casters.

Don't know. I suppose it depends on the fitting at the top of the caster. The four corner poles on the shelf unit have a hexagonal foot about 2 centimeters across, but since the placement of the bottom shelf is adjustable, there's plenty of room to modify the feet or poles.

If you bolt them( maybe ) with a nut on the other end . These have machine threads on them, you drill a hole in your 2x2 and put a nut on the other end . You will not find threaded inserts this large to put into the wood to screw them into . You need to drill your material all the way through and bolt them on. These casters are heavy duty . They work great. If you have 2x2 verticals just screw a 2x2 or a 2x4 horizontal on the bottom and drill through it and put your casters on it. I looked all over and you will not find T nuts or threaded inserts this large.

the bottom of the posts have screw holes that levelers screw into. You would have to find casters that have the same size screw.

Try contacting the manufacturer and see if they will send you another. If they will not or can not, they might be able to give you the size of the screw and you can get from a local hardware store.

I believe it would (within the 3-1/2" by 3-1/2" format) However, I think that your pre-drilled/ screwed connection would be too close to the edge and might splinter out if you are thinking of loading the casters down to their weight bearing potential.

These are plastic 2 inch casters. We had to replace one of ours and found some at Home Depot. But, they were not an exact match in style though they were the same size.

Caster dimensions are universal,you can buy the casters you want and install those casters directly.

I wouldn't recommend it; the unit's it not set up for them. It wouldn't be impossible, though. You could search on Amazon for "casters set of 4", and pick some 2" ones that swivel. Mounting them with screws might be difficult, so consider a strong adhesive, like gorilla glue. Just avoid getting the glue in the center of the base plate, which would nullify the swivel feature.

The feet already have holes in them where casters can be bolted. I would use caution because it might throw off the balance when all casters are facing the same way. I would also check with the manufacturer to get their opinion . Some casters come with a threaded bolt on top where a not can be fastened.

3/4 to 1 inch x1/4 lag bolt if it is to move on a flat surface. Otherwise I would bolt it in throuhg the base supports. Almost all of the force will be in a downward direction holding the caster in place with minimal side force. Also you are stretching the max limits of the caster @ 700+ lbs..

The legs have screw-in feet with 1/4-inch screw diameters. There are holes in the bottom center of the legs to accommodate these screws. If you can find casters with the same size shanks, you could replace the feet with the casters.

The screws that came with my jig are 3/4" long and the jig is 3/8" off of the base, so a 1/2" base should work fine. The screw actually enters the base only about 3/8", the rest of the screw being housed in the base.
