Medical Auto Locking Casters with Self-Braking Solutions

Self-braking castors feature mechanisms that automatically engage to stop wheel rotation and/or swivel movement. Total lock casters secure both wheel rotation and swivel movement with one lever, while brake-only casters stop wheel rotation but allow steering. These systems provide enhanced safety by preventing unwanted movement of medical equipment.

Total lock casters engage both wheel rotation and swivel movement simultaneously with a single lever operation, fully immobilizing medical equipment from all directions. Brake-only casters stop wheel rotation but still allow the wheel to swivel, which can be useful when steering capability needs to be maintained. For applications requiring complete equipment stability, such as securing a hospital bed during patient care, total lock casters provide the highest level of safety control.

Medical auto locking casters use a single action mechanism to secure equipment in place. Total lock casters engage both wheel rotation and swivel movement with one lever operation. Central locking systems allow you to secure multiple casters simultaneously, while brake/steer functionality lets you stop wheel rotation while maintaining steering capability.
