Looking to make your storage more flexible and functional? If you love the organization your shelving provides but need more mobility, there’s no need to replace it. With a few simple upgrades, you can convert your stationary wire shelving into mobile wire shelving that adapts to your space and moves when you need it to.

Whether you're organizing a garage, basement, playroom, or workspace, mobile shelving gives you the freedom to rearrange, access, and optimize your storage without compromise.

Why Convert to Mobile Wire Shelving?

Turning stationary shelving into a rolling storage unit offers big advantages:

• Easily rearrange your space without lifting or disassembling shelving
  
  

• Bring storage to where you need it, instead of making trips back and forth
  
  

• Keep everyday items within reach, reducing clutter and improving workflow
  
  

• Store in tight or out-of-the-way spaces—just roll it in or out as needed
  
  

• Adapt to changing needs, whether you're organizing toys, tools, or seasonal gear
  
  

How to Make Wire Shelving Mobile

All you need to get started is your current wire shelving unit and a set of wire shelving casters. Our high-quality casters are compatible with Shelving Inc. chrome and black wire shelving, allowing you to quickly convert any unit into mobile wire storage.

Types of Casters to Consider

By Material:

• Rubber Casters – Soft and flexible, perfect for rolling over uneven or rough surfaces. Available in both threaded and stem styles.
  
  

• Polyurethane Casters – Dense and durable, best for indoor use and heavier loads. Available in both threaded and stem styles.
  
  

By Mounting Style:

• Threaded Casters – Feature a ½” threaded bolt, designed specifically for Shelving Inc. posts. Ideal for SI-brand wire shelving.
  
  

• Stem Casters – Universal fit for most 1" diameter shelving posts. A more permanent mobile solution, often available with or without brakes.
  
  

Add Accessories to Maximize Mobile Storage

Once your shelving is mobile, enhance its functionality with helpful accessories:

• Ledges – Keep items from sliding off during movement.
  
  

• Dividers – Create organized sections within each shelf.
  
  

• Storage Bins – Use open or lidded bins in various colors to categorize your items. Try red bins for hazardous materials and green bins for safe or everyday items.
  
  

• Labels – Make items easy to find at a glance with clearly marked labels.
  
  

• Cart Covers – Conceal and protect your stored items from dust, debris, and prying eyes—especially useful for garage or basement storage.
