Total Locking Stainless Stem Caster Model 3A
Capacity up to 300 pounds per caster. These institutional casters are ideal for any light duty application where the 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 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 some 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 3A are non-marking. Gray Soft Rubber and Polyurethane wheels have a sealed precision ball bearing. They provide floor and cargo protection, quiet operation, and are very easy rolling. Try a set of 4 casters. You will be amazed at their performance!
“You should never select on the basis of load capacity alone. Our capacity ratings are below what the casters are capable of carrying because most applications have less than perfect conditions. If you have any doubt as to which wheel or caster is the BEST choice for your application contact us for a recommendation.”
