ABSTRACT:
A shipping case transport system includes a pair of corner mounted castors and a flush mounted handle. The corner mounted castor comprises a wheel housing, a wheel, and an axle. The wheel fits into a recess and an axle is inserted through the housing and wheel to the retain the wheel in rotable relationship to the wheel housing. A flange extends outward from one end of the wheel housing and a plurality of fastening holes are formed in periphery thereof. The flush mounted handle comprises a flange, a first tube retainer, a second tube retainer, a handle, and a locking mechanism. A recessed area is formed in the top of the flange. The handle has an elongated U-shape, with a first and second leg. A first and second hole is formed in the flange of the handle. A first and second tube retainer securely holds the first and second legs of the handle, respectively. The locking mechanism comprises a release button, a locking finger and a pivot arm. Depressing the release button causes the pivot arm to swing the locking finger from a hole in the second leg, and allows the user to move the handle to a retracted or extended position. Installation of the flush mounted handle and the corner mounted castors is accomplished by cutting a rectangular opening in the bottom front edge and trapezium openings in the rear bottom corners of the shipping case, respectively. The fastening holes in the flush mounted handle and the corner mounted castors are used as drilling template. The flush mounted handle and corner mounted castors are attached with any suitable fasten means.
