Total Locking Casters - Caster Model 3A - Stem Caster
|
|
|
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. |
Typical Applications:
|
Workbenches - Shop Equipment
Kitchen Islands - Movie
& Soundstage Equipment

Equipment and Carts
Any Application requiring the item
to be held

|
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 3/8" |
 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 .

 Threaded Stem
Casters should NOT be used as a "Leveling Device"! Capacity ratings are based
on the weight being directly on the top of the swivel bearing, not somewhere
above it on the threaded stem.
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.
