4″ High Capacity Rubber – Total Lock Stem Model 3A

Description

4″ Gray High Capacity Rubber Wheel. Ball Bearings in the Wheel. Shown in Photo with 5″ wheel. When using the metal brake pedal, this steel caster has its swivel bearing locked and the wheel can not turn. A total lock brake locks the swivel and the wheel. It latches them simultaneously by one foot on the brake pedal. The plate caster swivel model 3A has a metal total lock pedal.  It is simple to turn on but not as simple to let go as the nylon brake pedal featured on K3. The metal lock can only be reached if the release deise with the type of your shoe which may not allow enough burden to be utilized to unlock the brake.  This is not an issue with the nylon brake pedal on model k3. The metal total lock brake pedal is an alternative on 3a swivels. The metal pedal is shown slightly under the mounting plate of the swivel caster and slightly over the wheel.  The metal pedal extends behind the wheel so the toe of your foot can simply reach the activation pedal. The metal pedal burrows into rubber and polyurethane tires more than the nylon pedal. The amount of the metal pedal total lock brake is more than the cost of a total lock brake with a nylon pedal. Neither type of total lock brake are possible on a caster rigid. The Total Locking Stem Caster Model 3A is excellent for hospitals and medical offices.
