Double Locking Casters with Industrial Brake

The main types of locking casters include Total Lock (simultaneously locks both wheel rotation and swivel movement), Central Lock (a single mechanism that controls both wheel and swivel functions), Directional Lock (controls the direction of movement), and Swivel Lock (locks only the swivel movement while still allowing wheel rotation). Each type serves different application needs across medical and industrial environments.

Total Lock casters prevent accidental movement by securing both the wheel rotation and swivel functions simultaneously, providing complete immobilization — ideal for critical medical procedures. Central Lock casters also control both functions but use a single centralized mechanism to engage them. Both types are available in the double locking caster lineup from Humphries Casters.

Double locking casters are available in multiple wheel sizes including 3-inch, 4-inch, 5-inch, 125mm, and 152mm diameters. This range accommodates various weight capacities and equipment requirements, from standard medical equipment to bariatric applications.

These double locking casters are compatible with major medical equipment manufacturers including Hill-Rom, Stryker, Joerns, Invacare, and Tente, among others. Technical specialists are available to help verify compatibility with your specific equipment model and identify the correct caster solution.
