Stainless Steel Total Locking Casters Stainless
Caster Model 3A - Stem Caster
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.

Combination Wheel Brake and Swivel Lock -
This brake simultaneously locks the wheel and the swivel. One step on the
activating pedal instantly locks the entire caster holding the equipment firmly
in place. One step on the release pedal frees the swivel and wheel.

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 .
Threaded Stem Casters should NOT be used
as a "Leveling Device"! Capacity ratings are based on the weight being directly
on the swivel bearing.
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. These casters are not to be moved by
mechanically powered equipment.
