Stainless Steel Total Locking Casters Stainless
Caster Model 3A - Plate Mount
Capacity up to 300 pounds per caster.
Stainless steel casters are ideal for use in a wet or corrosive
environment.
These casters are ideal for most light duty applications
where a caster must be totally immobile when the caster brake is applied.
Caster Model 3A has a unique brake which locks both the wheel and the swivel
bearing simultaneously. 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 some applications - such as on
worktables and medical equipment. The Total-Lock brake is desireable whenever a
brake is needed because it makes a swivel caster totally immobile.
Mounting Plate - 2 1/2" x
3 5/8"
We suggest that you do NOT drill the mounting holes to
attach the casters until you receive them.
Swivel Construction - Stamped stainless
steel. Swivel has double ball bearing.
Gray Non-marking Soft Rubber, Gray Polyurethane,

ball bearings in the wheel ( P ).

Use the Polyolefin ( Industrial Plastic ) wheel for "Standing Loads".
Polyolefin wheels eliminate the possiblilty of a flat spot developing on the
surfiace of polyurethane and rubber tires when the weight exceeds 2/3 of the
rated capacity when the object is left parked most of the time .
You should never select on the basis of
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. If these casters are going to be moved by
mechanically powered equipment, consult us for a reduced capacity rating based
on your application.
