What it is

The Tandem Standard Height series explained

The Tandem Standard Height is the high-capacity twin-wheel design in the PH Casters healthcare line. Two precision-bearing wheels share the load across each caster, delivering smoother rolling and higher capacity than any single-wheel of comparable diameter. Available in 75mm, 100mm, and 125mm wheel diameters. Standard configurations include Swivel-only, Total-Lock (locks both wheel and swivel), Directional-Lock, and With-Brake variants. Standard colors are RAL 7001 gray body and RAL 9003 white body (with black tread). Mount options include plate (M05), 13mm bolt-hole (H05), and multiple threaded-stem specifications.

Sizing guide

How to choose the right Tandem Standard Height

Choose Tandem Standard Height for hospital beds, patient lifts, treatment chairs, and high-load hospital trolleys. The 275 lb per-caster rating combined with 4-caster array supports the load class of full hospital beds plus occupant plus accessories. For low-clearance chassis (lift platforms, integrated dollies), step laterally to Tandem Low Height. For lighter applications, drop to single-wheel Kinexus.

  • Wheel diameter: 75mm, 100mm, and 125mm twin-wheel options
  • Load capacity: Up to 275 lb (125 kg) per caster — 4-caster array supports 1,100 lb total
  • Configurations: Swivel (SW) • Total-Lock (TL) • Directional-Lock (DL) • With-Brake (WB)
  • Mounting: Plate (M05), bolt-hole (H05 13mm), threaded stem (T10 M12, T36 1/2"-13, T37, T10 M12x25 with secondary length options)
  • Why twin-wheel?: Two precision wheels share the load, reducing per-wheel fatigue under repeated dynamic cycling. Result: smoother rolling on uneven hospital flooring and longer service life on high-cycle applications.

Buyer FAQ

Tandem Standard Height questions

What load capacity does the Tandem Standard handle?

Up to 275 lb (125 kg) per caster. A 4-caster array supports 1,100 lb total load with a 30% safety margin — comfortably covering hospital beds with occupant and accessories.

Why a twin-wheel design?

Two precision wheels share the load on each caster. This reduces per-wheel fatigue under repeated dynamic loading (patient transfer, bed positioning), delivers smoother rolling under high loads, and extends service life compared to single-wheel casters of comparable diameter.

What's the difference between Tandem Standard and Tandem Low Height?

Tandem Standard Height fits typical hospital bed and trolley chassis with normal mounting clearance. Tandem Low Height has reduced overall height for compact lift platforms, integrated dollies, and chassis where vertical clearance is constrained. Both share the same load rating and configuration options.

What brake variants are available?

Swivel-only (SW) for support casters on multi-caster arrays, Total-Lock (TL) for stationary positioning, Directional-Lock (DL) for predictable corridor tracking, and With-Brake (WB) for wheel-only locking. Total-Lock is the standard spec for hospital beds and patient lifts.

How fast do Tandem Standard casters ship?

3-5 business days from Mansfield, Texas. All 39 SKUs are stocked.
