What size screws should I use? These four casters are going on the bottom of a guitar amplifier combo that weighs 57 lbs.

Screw size is not too important, but be sure to put a screw in all four holes. A number 12 screw, about one inch long should work great. Be sure to drill a pilot hole for the screw. The pilot hole should be the size of the screw body, not counting the threads. Otherwise, the wood may split if you run the screws in without drilling a pilot hole. The pilot hole should be about 1/8 inch or maybe slightly larger. If screw gets real tight before it bottoms out, you may want to enlarge the hole slightly. A little trial and error will work fine.

I use them with Peavey SP5G's and they are rock solid. My speakers are listed at 72 pounds. They are attached to garage walls studs with lag bolts

My set is installed but I would guess that the total weight is less than 5 lbs.

The weight is fine, I'd just be careful that the base dimension of the speaker not be bigger than the platform. That said, these are very heavy-duty stands.

I would guess up to 15 pounds. You could possibly use longer screws which may increase the holding power.I am an artist and I use the mounts to create diptychs from assembling multiple wood framed shadow boxes weighting a range of 8 to 12 pounds.

I would take off one of the casters and take it to a place that sells them. It should be a standard size.

The hooks are very sturdy, but the main consideration is how the hooks are fastened to the wall. I recommend using a longer screws and mounting the hooks to a stud behind the drywall, or using a set of heavy duty drywall taps if the bass is more than 10lbs. I hung three guitars including a Fender Strat that was 8.5 lbs with no problem. The hooks come with a set of screws. The screws are not long enough to screw deep enough into a stud behind drywall. I used a longer set of screws that better matched the drywall taps I was using.

I would say to make sure you put all the right screws in the correct places. My tower does not have any give in it and with me weighing 220+ lbs I'd be hesitant if it did.

Yes actually. I used those metal molly screws being the guitars weigh at least 10 -15 pounds each except for my acoustics.

I wouldn't recommend trying to attach casters. I agree that this cabinet is too large and heavy to be moved on casters. There is no secure area on the bottom of the unit to put casters. Try getting a unit that has casters or wheels as original equipment.

I would not recommend this base for casters. We have a few of these with 3' tops, and there is only 11" on each side and the base is not drilled for casters. The limited width of the base would make these very unstable and unsafe for use.

Properly installed 10 pounds should be no problem, just follow the directions. Pull out resistance of any fastener is dependent upon proper installation which includes most importantly correct pilot hole size for wood screws.

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

My recollection is that you remove the plugs at the bottom of the posts (push through other end w/ anything thinner), and then fit the casters in. Hope that helps!

Hi Suz. Just use your instinct... is very heavy so use strong and long screws. Is very easy at the end.

it's been a while since I got them, but, I think there were enough parts to do 6, I actually need to order more of them as they did work really well for my application... I will warn you, I could not pound them into place... I wasn't strong enough, my husband had to do it.
