Brake Casters

About

Caster brakes are mechanical mechanisms added to casters and designed to stop and secure the rotation of caster wheels on flat surfaces, and potentially the swivel section as well, preventing them from unintentionally continuing to move. Brakes are essential for maintaining stability when equipment or machinery needs to remain stationary—especially in environments where heavy loads are present, equipment or materials can be shaken/fall from a cart, or employees/patients could get injured. Standard caster brakes are not designed for and should not be used to stop equipment or carts on inclines.
