Colson 5x2 Industrial Caster Wheel

These 5x2 industrial casters are specifically designed for Baxter/Hillrom beds including the Centra, Centrella, VersaCare, Centrella Smart+, Affinity series systems, and Bariatric Plus beds. Compatibility varies by specific caster model, so it's important to verify the correct caster for your particular bed configuration.

Colson 5x2 industrial casters are available with four locking and control functions: Brake Only, Brake/Steer, Swivel Only, and Total Lock. Brake/Steer allows directional control combined with braking capability, while Total Lock completely immobilizes both wheel rotation and swivel movement for maximum security and patient safety.

Twin wheel configurations provide enhanced stability by distributing the load across two wheels, making them well-suited for heavier medical equipment. Single wheel designs offer 125mm brake and steer functionality and are ideal where precise directional control is the priority. The best choice depends on your specific medical equipment requirements and weight distribution needs.

These Colson 5x2 industrial casters are available in both rubber and polyurethane wheel materials. Rubber wheels are specifically noted for quiet operation, making them ideal for patient care areas where noise reduction is important. Polyurethane wheels provide durability and smooth mobility across healthcare floor surfaces.

These casters are available with two primary mounting options: Standard Mount and Stem Mount. Before ordering, check your existing caster's mounting system — including stem size, plate, or bolt hole pattern — to ensure proper compatibility with your medical equipment or hospital bed.
