A combination brake (total-lock) caster stops both the wheel from rolling and the swivel from rotating with a single pedal press. The BC Series builds that into a clean light-to-medium-duty caster, up to 850 lb — so equipment parks exactly where you put it and stays pointed where you left it.
A wheel-only brake stops the cart rolling — but the swivel can still rotate, so the cart can pivot and creep. A combination brake locks both: the wheel won't roll and the fork won't turn. For equipment that has to stay precisely placed — medical and lab carts, AV rigs, display fixtures, instrument stands — that's the difference between 'parked' and 'parked and won't move.'
The BC Series pairs the combination-brake mechanism with light-to-medium-duty rigging to 850 lb, in the standard wheel materials — polyurethane and TPR for finished-floor and quiet-zone equipment, where total-lock braking is most often required. One pedal, both functions, no fumbling for two separate brakes.
Both the wheel (won't roll) and the swivel (won't rotate) — with a single pedal. Also called total-lock.
A wheel brake stops rolling but the cart can still pivot on the swivel. Combination brake locks both for true 'won't move' parking.
Up to 850 lb per caster — light-to-medium duty, the range where total-lock braking is most commonly specified.
Our US-based caster engineers will match the right build to your load, floor, and application.
