Deep Stock. Answered Phones.

6,000+ SKUs in our Miami warehouse at 7128 NW 72nd Ave. When you call (305) 888-3700, you reach a specialist who can confirm availability in real time — not a call center reading from a screen.

70 Years of Specifying Right.

Caster specification is a multi-variable problem: load, floor type, tread material, mounting, environment, brake. Our team has solved this problem tens of thousands of times since 1955. We don't sell SKUs — we spec applications.

Miami → All of the Americas.

15 minutes from Miami International Airport. 20 minutes from the Port of Miami. We ship to 20+ countries across Central America and the Caribbean with full export documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Douglas Equipment different from online caster retailers like Grainger or Amazon?
When you order from a national catalog, you're selecting from a database. When you call Douglas Equipment at (305) 888-3700, you're talking to a specialist who has been specifying industrial casters in South Florida for years. We carry 6,000+ SKUs physically in Miami — not in a warehouse in Ohio. Grainger can't walk you through that. We can — and we quote in minutes.
Do you ship to Central America and the Caribbean?
Yes — this is a core part of our business. We ship to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and many other destinations. We consolidate loads, coordinate with freight forwarders, prepare export documentation, and advise on customs.
Can you source CTP or ITR parts for Caterpillar, Komatsu or other heavy equipment?
Yes. We distribute CTP (Costex Tractor Parts, ISO 9001 certified, Miami-based) and ITR — both manufacture OEM-equivalent undercarriage and repair parts for Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Doosan, JCB, Case, John Deere, and Kobelco. Search by OEM part number on our site or call us with your machine model.
What is your typical quote turnaround?
For in-stock items: within 2 business hours of your request, usually faster. For non-stock or custom specifications: preliminary response within 24 hours. We don't make you wait a week for a number. If you need it faster, call (305) 888-3700 — quotes by phone take about 5 minutes for standard items.
Can I visit your showroom?
Absolutely. 7128 NW 72nd Ave, Miami, FL 33166. Open Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm. Walk in, see the product, talk to our team. Twenty minutes in person resolves what would take 10 emails. Will-call orders picked up same day.
How does shipping and export documentation work for international orders?
We consolidate your order at our Miami warehouse, coordinate with freight forwarders, and prepare the full export package — commercial invoice, packing list, and HS codes. Air freight runs about 2–4 days for urgent orders; ocean LCL about 15–25 days. Under CAFTA-DR, certain US-origin parts may qualify for preferential tariff treatment — your customs broker confirms eligibility for your shipment.
What is the lead time for a custom caster assembly?
Stock casters ship same-day or next-day from Miami. Custom assemblies — special tread, mount, brake, or finish — are typically quoted within 2 business hours, then ship based on component availability, often within a few business days. Call (305) 888-3700 with your application and we will give you a firm timeline.
