Medical Casters: Quiet, Durable & Industry-Standard

Medical casters for hospital beds are available in several functional types: brake only, steer, swivel, and total lock. They also come in a range of wheel sizes (2–3 inch, 4–5 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch, and 8 inch) and configurations including single wheel, twin wheel, and component only, allowing healthcare facilities to match the right caster to their specific equipment needs.

Brake casters lock only the wheel rotation, preventing the bed or equipment from rolling. Total lock casters go a step further by securing both the wheel rotation and the swivel movement simultaneously, providing maximum stability — an important safety feature when a patient is being transferred or treated.
