Description

The Caster Model E is a total lock brake, high-performance medical caster designed for durability and modern medical caster aesthetics, making it a top choice for casters and wheels in demanding environments. Its nylon-reinforced plastic body ensures strength while maintaining a sleek, sanitary design, perfect for hospital casters used in food service carts, medical equipment, institutional carts, commercial setups, retail displays, and contemporary furniture. The non-marking soft gray rubber RF wheels, with a 75A durometer and mechanically bonded to a polyolefin core, provide a quiet, cushioned ride, ideal for sensitive settings like pharmaceutical labs and hospitals where a total-lock brake is needed for security and safety.

These total locking brake casters feature precision-sealed ball bearings in both the swivel and wheel, delivering smooth, maintenance-free operation for reliable performance. The non-marking soft gray rubber wheels excel at shock absorption, protecting equipment and cargo, rolling over small obstacles, preserving costly floors, and minimizing vibration, making them a standout choice for medical casters and hospital casters. Available in plain swivel or with a total lock brake, they offer versatility, with thread guards for cleanliness and operation up to 159ยฐF, ensuring suitability for diverse industrial and institutional applications.

While these soft gray rubber casters offer superior functionality, they require more effort to move under heavy loads. For manual operation, reduce load capacity by 50% and choose the largest practical wheel diameter to optimize mobility. Prolonged standing under load may cause flat spots or a permanent โ€œsetโ€ in the tires, and the bonding agent securing the rubber to the polyolefin core can be affected by certain chemicals, impact, overloading, or heat buildup. Still, these non-marking casters and wheels are ideal for most dry factory floors, providing a robust solution for applications free from shock, abuse, obstructions, or poor flooring.
