5 Inch Off Swivel Wheels for Multiple Applications

Brake locks the wheel in place to secure equipment during patient care, steer controls the direction of movement for precise navigation, and swivel allows 360-degree rotation for full maneuverability. Some casters combine these functions, such as brake/steer casters, which provide both directional control and secure locking in a single unit.

Compatibility varies by manufacturer. The 5-inch swivel casters in this range support multiple major brands including Hillrom (Affinity, Century Series, Centra Series, Advance Series), Baxter (VersaCare beds), and TotalCare (Bariatric Plus, Centrella Smart+). It is important to verify your specific bed model and part number before ordering, and Humphries Casters offers compatibility verification support to help.

Twin wheel casters feature two wheels side by side, which provides enhanced stability and better weight distribution — making them ideal for heavier equipment like bariatric hospital beds. Single wheel casters offer more precise maneuverability in tighter spaces and are commonly used on standard hospital beds, stretchers, and specialty medical furniture.

The product range includes both rubber and urethane wheel options. Rubber wheels offer quiet operation and smooth rolling on hard healthcare flooring, as seen on the 5-inch Rubber Swivel Caster compatible with Hill-Rom Centra Series beds. Urethane wheels, such as the 5-inch Urethane Wheel compatible with Hillrom Advance Series beds, offer enhanced durability and are available as component-only replacements.
