ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for appliance installation and leveling using a leveling caster. The leveling caster includes a top shelf connected to wheels by a scissors type structure. The height of the scissors type structure can be adjusted using an adjustment bolt from the front of the appliance, without requiring access to the rear of the appliance. The leveling caster is adjustable over a wide range of heights, is strong enough to bear heavy appliances, and allows height adjustment while minimizing incidental horizontal motion.
