Four swivels let a cart move any direction but make it wander on long straight runs. Two swivel and two rigid casters steer like a shopping cart and track straight. For long carts, add rigid casters in the middle.

Brake types from product fields [S1].
A swivel that flutters is usually worn, too loose, or has too little offset for the speed. Larger wheels and kingpinless swivels resist it better on towed carts.
Swivel locks: swivel locks. Heavy: heavy duty casters.
A caster whose wheel turns a full circle so the cart can steer in any direction.
A brake that locks both the wheel and the swivel.
The casters here range from 50 to 40,000 lb each, and about half are rated above 800 lb.
