Economical Locking Stem Casters
Quality Locking Stem Casters
As the leading U.S. manufacturer of industrial caster and wheel products, RWM Casters is pleased to offer a wide array of heavy-duty casters for all conceivable applications. With capacities ranging from 300 pounds to 40,000 pounds and wheel sizes measuring under 3 inches to 14 inches or larger, you’re sure to find casters that suit your application.
If your application requires a swivel caster with brake and lock that can maintain seamless movement, RWM Casters’ stem casters may be a great option. These locking stem casters incorporate locking caster wheels, with legs welded to the exterior and interior race, for increased strength and durability. With precise brake lever positioning and sturdy break support, they provide the added benefit of simultaneous wheel and swivel lock capabilities.
Features
| Swivel Section | Cold forged double ball raceway. Swivel section is equipped with a lubrication fitting for field maintenance. Legs are made from 1/4” steel and are welded to the outer race both inside and out for added strength. The brake support brackets are an integral part of the leg stamping, not welded on. This ensures accurate brake lever positioning and provides a sturdier brake support structure. Stepping on the brake handle simultaneously locks the wheel and swivel assembly. The swivel lock portion uses serrations in the brake lever and top plate to ensure a positive lock. |

| Stem | 1-3/8” diameter 3-3/4” long with a 7/16” diameter hole drilled 2-5/16” up from the top plate |
