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.
