ABSTRACT:
The assembly comprises a flat pallet of extended surface area and a plurality of knock-off caster devices of improved type releasably secured to the pallet. Each caster device includes upper and lower horizontal plates joined at one end by a vertical web to form a sleeve in which an edge or end of the pallet is releasably secured by anchoring spikes, nuts or the like. A caster bracket is secured to the underside of the lower plate and a rotatable caster depends therefrom. A flange, detent or the like is provided to facilitate knock-off of the caster device from the pallet when the device is no longer needed. Preferably, the caster device is adjustable in plate length, sleeve height and/or caster position. The device may include a type which has a pair of casters, brackets and sleeves on opposite ends of the lower plate, which is adjustable to span the pallet. In a second type, the lower plate spans the pallet and has an upturned end abutting the pallet end and bearing a flange. In another embodiment, the device is configured and dimensioned such that the sleeve receives a whole corner of the pallet. Each caster device is inexpensive, durable, efficient and easy to install on and remove from the pallet.
