Durastar Caster Brakes – Face Contact Brake


Key Features

  • Brake Type: Face Contact Brake (FCB) for secure and reliable stopping power
  • Direct-to-Wheel Engagement: Provides positive locking through friction on the wheel face
  • Brake Lever: Easy-to-operate foot-activated mechanism for user convenience
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for carts, dollies, and mobile equipment requiring precise stationary control
  • Compatibility: Designed for use with multiple caster series and wheel types
  • Durable Construction: Engineered from high-strength materials to ensure longevity and dependability
  • Enhanced Safety: Reduces unwanted movement and enhances operator control in dynamic environments
  • Minimal Maintenance: Built for durability with minimal wear and long-term performance

Durastar’s Face Contact Brake (FCB) is engineered for optimal braking performance and reliability in industrial and commercial environments. This brake system engages directly with the wheel face, offering a secure and positive lock that minimizes caster movement and enhances safety.

The foot-activated lever mechanism makes operation quick and ergonomic, providing users with intuitive control over braking without requiring excessive force. This makes the FCB ideal for applications involving frequent start-stop motion or stationary positioning on uneven surfaces.

Compatible with a wide range of Durastar caster series, this brake option is built with durability in mind—minimizing wear and ensuring lasting performance even in demanding conditions. From material handling equipment to rolling workstations, the Face Contact Brake delivers confidence and control where it matters most.

Reliable Braking for Demanding Applications

Upgrade your mobility systems with Durastar’s Face Contact Brake—designed to provide dependable stopping power and secure stability across a wide range of operational needs.
