Stainless Steel Casters with Brake

Food, pharmaceutical, and washdown equipment needs corrosion resistance and a secure park on wet, sloped floors. Stainless steel brake casters provide both: a rust-resistant stainless rig and a locking brake that holds the cart in place, keeping equipment sanitary and safely parked.

Most are wheel brakes that stop the wheel from rolling, which keeps the cart parked. Check the product spec for total-lock models that also lock the swivel. For carts on sloped or wet floors, a reliable wheel brake prevents dangerous rolling.

The stainless rigs resist corrosion and cleaning chemicals, and chemical-resistant wheels like polyolefin and polyurethane make the whole caster washable. They are designed for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical equipment that gets washed down regularly. Confirm any specific certification needs for your application.

These range from about 190 to 1,200 lbs per caster depending on wheel size and material. Divide your total load across all casters and add a safety margin. For heavier sanitary loads, look to larger stainless casters or the heavier wheel options.
