Swivel locks for casters — bolt-on attachments that convert a swivel caster to a fixed/rigid caster temporarily or permanently. The swivel lock pins the swivel raceway so the caster can no longer rotate, only roll forward and backward. Useful when you need directional control on equipment that currently has all swivel casters. Stocked at our Mansfield, TX facility.
Swivel locks add directional control to equipment without replacing the casters. Standard application: a platform cart with 4 swivel casters that won't track straight — add swivel locks to the 2 rear casters and the cart becomes a 2-swivel/2-rigid configuration.
Swivel locks are specific to caster plate size. The most common: 4 x 4-1/2 plate, 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 plate. Verify before ordering.
Most swivel locks can be unlocked and re-locked. For permanent conversion, weld the lock or buy rigid casters directly.
Add locks to the 2 rear casters of a 4-swivel cart. Front 2 stay swivel for steering. Cart tracks much better.
Most swivel locks rated to the underlying caster's capacity. The lock adds no additional load.
