Can mobile pedestals be converted from casters to fixed glides?

Yes. Most commercial mobile pedestals use a standard stem caster (5/16"–7/16" diameter stem) that can be removed and replaced with a fixed glide. Fixed glides turn a mobile pedestal into a stationary unit — useful when the pedestal will always be kept in the same position and you want to eliminate the risk of accidental rolling. Fixed glides are also preferred on raised-floor environments where caster wheels can wedge into raised floor tile seams. Replacement glides are available as aftermarket parts from major hardware suppliers. The conversion from casters to glides is straightforward — remove caster, insert glide stem into the same socket.
