Floor Locks for Carts & Platform Trucks

Floor locks hold carts and platform trucks in place by pressing a rubber pad to the floor when you step on the pedal. CasterHQ stocks kickbar floor locks for 4", 5", 6", and 8" casters — standard 4" × 4-1/2" plate, same-day shipping from Mansfield, TX.

Floor Lock Size Chart

Match the floor lock to your caster wheel diameter. All models use a standard 4" × 4-1/2" top plate. Heights from Admin product specs (retracted / extended). Use on level floors only — floor locks are not jacks and are not a substitute for parking brakes on inclines.

About Floor Locks

Floor locks are mounted to the cart frame separately from the casters. They apply a brake pad directly to the floor when activated, locking the cart in place. Independent of caster swivel — works on free-swiveling cart casters.

How to Choose a Floor Lock

1. Cart Frame Compatibility

Floor truck locks bolt to the cart frame. Match the lock bolt pattern to the cart's existing mount.

2. Pedal Action

Press down to lock, lift to release. Or "step-on/step-off" with continuous pressure.

3. Pad Material

Rubber pad for non-marking on retail floors. Steel pad for heavy industrial.

4. Replacement vs Addition

Replace worn floor truck locks on existing carts, or add to carts that need braking but currently have none.
