6 Inch Colson Casters Collection

The 6-inch Colson caster collection offers four brake configurations: brake only, brake/steer combinations, swivel only, and total lock mechanisms. Each is designed to meet different medical equipment mobility and safety requirements.

These casters are designed for specific Hillrom models, including the Affinity, VersaCare, Progressa, and Advance series bed systems, as well as the HillRom 1000 Series. They are not universal across all Hillrom beds, so verifying compatibility with your specific model before ordering is recommended.

Yes, select models in the 6-inch Colson collection feature steam sterilizable construction, which is indicated by 'Stm' in the product specifications. This makes them suitable for healthcare environments with strict infection control protocols.

Single wheel casters offer greater maneuverability, making them ideal for navigating tight spaces, while twin wheel casters provide enhanced stability and better weight distribution — a key advantage for heavier medical equipment such as bariatric beds.

Yes, certain models in this collection feature built-in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. ESD-protected casters are particularly important in environments with sensitive electronic medical equipment, such as procedural stretchers, where static discharge could interfere with device performance or patient safety.

The collection includes models with wheel diameters ranging from 145mm to 152mm (approximately 6 inches), depending on the specific model. The available sizes include 145mm, 150mm, and 152mm wheels to match the specifications of different medical bed systems.
