Total Locking Casters - Caster Model 3A - Plate
Mount |
|
|
Capacity up to 300 pounds
per caster.
These institutional casters are ideal for any light duty
application where the caster must be totally immobile when the caster brake is
applied. Caster Model 3A has a unique brake which locks both the wheel and
the swivel bearing at the same time. This "Total-Lock" brake insures that
the swivel caster will not turn when the wheel is locked. This combination
wheel brake and swivel lock is essential for safety in some applications - such
as on worktables, tablesaws, and medical equipment. The Total-Lock brake is
desireable whenever a brake is needed because it makes a swivel caster totally
immobile. The wheels featured with Caster Model 3A are non-marking. Gray Soft
Rubber and Polyurethane wheels have a sealed precision ball bearing. They
provide floor and cargo protection, quiet operation, and are very easy rolling.
Try a set of 4 casters. You will be amazed at their performance!

You
should never select on the basis of load capacity alone. There is no industry
standard for load capacity ratings and they may not include a factor for abuse.
Our capacity ratings are below what the casters are capable of carrying because
most applications have less than perfect conditions. Please refer to the
information shown at the bottom of this page. If you have any doubt as to which
wheel or caster is the BEST choice for your application contact us for a
recommendation.

 - Swivel Radius for Casters with the
Total-Lock Brake - ALL SIZES - 4 1/2"
Approximate Weights - Swivel
Caster with ML Brake - 3" wheel = 1 3/4 lbs. - 4" wheel = 2 lbs. - 5" wheel
= 2 1/2 lbs. |
 Use the Polyolefin (
Industrial Plastic ) wheel for "Standing Loads". Polyolefin wheels eliminate
the possiblilty of a flat spot developing on the surfiace of polyurethane and
rubber tires when the weight exceeds 2/3 of the rated capacity when the object
is left parked most of the time .
|
 You should never
select on the basis of load capacity alone. Capacity ratings do not take into
account the effort required to manually move a load. Capacity ratings are based
on manual operation under ideal conditions. If these casters are going to be
moved by mechanically powered equipment, consult us for a reduced capacity
rating based on your application.
