The caster body can be attached to bottom of an object to move the object across a flat surface. It can also be attached to top of an object to move other objects thereacross. A ready access hole is also provided in the cup portion so that a tool can be inserted for prying and thereby removing the large ball from the cavity in the cup portion for cleaning and repair.
