About Shepherd

Shepherd is the Colson Group's institutional and furniture caster specialist — twin-wheel, decorative, and light-duty casters for office seating, furniture, medical equipment, retail displays, and hospitality carts. Where Colson covers the industrial floor, Shepherd covers everything that rolls in front of a customer: quiet, floor-safe, and design-conscious. Through our Colson Master Distributor relationship, Douglas sources the full Shepherd catalog on the same factory channel — and 23 Shepherd series are searchable and quotable right on this site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Shepherd part of Colson?
Yes — Shepherd is a Colson Group sister brand. Douglas sources it through the same Master Distributor factory channel we use for Colson Caster, so lead times and technical support work the same way. One call covers the whole group: (305) 888-3700.
What are Shepherd casters best for?
Institutional and design-facing applications: office chairs, furniture, medical and care equipment, retail displays, hospitality and housekeeping carts. Typical capacities run 5–1,000 lbs per caster depending on series. For heavy industrial loads (1,500+ lbs, high cycle), we route you to Colson, Durable Superior, or Blickle instead.
Which Shepherd series should I look at first?
Regent is the flagship institutional twin-wheel line and the deepest catalog on this site (8,400+ configurations). Softech adds soft-tread wheels for hard floors, Monarch covers economical twin-wheel, and Twin-Med / Genesis cover medical and care environments. Every series page lets you filter by capacity, diameter, tread, and mount.
Are Shepherd casters stocked in Miami?
Shepherd ships on the Colson Group factory channel — typically 5–10 days, with popular institutional series often faster. Call (305) 888-3700 with your part number or application and we run a stock check the same day.
