Vastex V2000 Drop-Down Wheel Set – HD Caster (Per Leg)
Vastex
Vastex V2000 Drop-Down Wheel Set (HD) is the heavy-duty drop-down caster that lets you roll a fully loaded V-2000 screen printing press across the shop, then lock it back down to a near-floor print height for production. Unlike standard casters that raise a press nearly 4″, drop-down wheels keep your press only ¾″ above a floor-standing press — so mobility never costs you ergonomics or print quality. Welded steel, rated to 500 lb per caster, bolts on with one bolt. Sold per leg — order one for each leg on your press.

Description
Vastex V2000 Drop-Down Wheel Set — Move Your Press, Not Your Back
A multi-color V-2000 is heavy, and moving one on standard casters raises it almost 4″ off the floor — forcing operators to reach up while printing. The Vastex drop-down wheel set fixes that: roll the press freely when you need to, then drop the legs to the floor for a stable press that sits only ¾″ higher than a bolted-down unit. Genuine Vastex OEM part, welded high-strength steel, rated to 500 lb per caster.
Why Printers Choose the Drop-Down Wheel Set
Makes a Heavy Press Mobile
Roll the V-2000 out to clean, reconfigure your layout, or free up floor space — then drop it right back into place for production.
Prints at Near-Floor Height
Sits just ¾″ (19 mm) higher than a floor-standing press, versus about 3″ taller on conventional casters — keeping your print surface at a comfortable, accurate height.
Rock-Solid When Locked
Disengage the wheels and each leg foot returns to the floor, carrying the load directly for zero wobble and consistent off-contact.
Built for the Load
Welded, high-strength assembly rated up to 500 lb (227 kg) per caster — engineered for the weight of a multi-color V-2000.
Bolt-On Installation
Mounts to each V-2000 leg with a single bolt — no drilling, no press modification, no downtime.
Genuine Vastex Part
OEM component (WS-VHD) built to fit the V-2000 / V-2000HD platform exactly — not a generic caster.
Conventional Casters vs. Drop-Down Wheels — What’s the Difference?
Both make a press mobile, but standard casters jack the whole press up so it prints high and can roll during a stroke. Drop-down wheels retract so the leg carries the load on the floor — you get mobility and a low, stable, production-ready press.
| Feature | Conventional Casters | Drop-Down Wheel Set (WS-VHD) |
|---|---|---|
| Print height vs. a floor-standing press | About 3″ (76 mm) higher | Only ¾″ (19 mm) higher |
| Operator ergonomics | You reach up to print — tough for shorter operators | Near-floor print height stays comfortable & accurate |
| Stability while printing | Rolls unless locked or chocked | Leg foot drops to the floor — rock solid, no wobble |
| Load rating | Varies | Up to 500 lb (227 kg) per caster |
| Installation | Varies | Bolt-on — one bolt per leg, no press modification |
| Mobility | Good | Excellent — swivel-locking, drops down to roll |
| Best for | Presses that stay put | Moving a heavy V-2000 without losing print height |
Choose drop-down wheels when…
You need to move a heavy, multi-color V-2000 around the shop but still want it to print at a comfortable, floor-standing height and stay rock-solid during production.
Order one per leg
This listing is priced per leg. Count the legs on your press stand (a standard press has four; more stations add legs) and set the quantity to match. Browse all Vastex pallets & parts.
How Drop-Down Casters Work
Each leg gets its own drop-down wheel assembly. To move the press, engage the wheels so it rolls on swivel-locking casters. To print, disengage them so the leg foot returns to the floor and carries the load — giving you a stable, level, low-profile press for production and effortless repositioning between jobs. It’s the best of both worlds: a mobile press that still prints like it’s bolted down.
