Total Locking Casters - Caster Model 4A - Plate
Mount
Capacity up to 400 pounds
per caster with a small mounting plate size 2 1/2" x 3 3/4". These
casters are ideal for applications where the caster must be totally immobile
when the caster brake is applied. Caster Model 4A has a unique brake which
locks both the wheel and the swivel bearing at the same time. This
"Total-Lock" brake insures that the swivel caster will not turn when the wheel
is locked. This combination wheel brake and swivel lock is essential for safety
in applications - such as on worktables, tablesaws, and medical equipment. The
Total-Lock brake is desireable whenever a brake is needed because it makes a
swivel caster totally immobile. The wheels featured with Caster Model 4A are
non-marking, and all except Polyolefin and Phenolic can be used on hardwood
floors. Polyolefin and Phenolic wheels are best at reducing the risk of a flat
spot occuring when loads are left standing for prolonged periods. All the
wheels have a precision sealed ball bearings for easier rolling. Gray Soft
Rubber and Polyurethane wheels provide quiet operation, floor and cargo
protection.

if the castered equipment is left parked for a prolong period.

load capacity alone. Capacity ratings do not take into account the effort
required to manually move a load. Capacity ratings are based on manual
operation under ideal conditions. These casters are not to be moved by
mechanically powered equipment.
