Wheels for steel shelving

There is a standard for steel shelving size and construction, with
heavy steel angle uprights with 1/4" holes at about 1" intevals.
'Standard' at least in that I've seen a ton of it in warehouses, etc.
and it's carried by a lot of hardware stores. I'm sure most know from
that brief description.
Oddly enough, I have not been able to find anyone who makes wheels for
it. Even some of the warehousing operations could use that. It would
entail only a regular caster-type wheel with a fitting to accommodate
the steel angle. My guess is that the product does exist somewhere.
Anyone know?
There are metal shelves with casters, but putting casters on shelving
not only decreases the shelves load capacity, it can make them easier
to tip.
I have metal shelves in my garage with casters. I love them. They are
easy to move when its time to clean, but I am very careful when
rolling them around. I bought mine at Sam's club a few years ago. They
are chrome. Many hospitals, restaurants, butchers use basically the
same thing except theirs are stainless steel.
