Yes. Colson provides multiple brake and lock options across their product lines, including side-mount brakes, top-lock brakes, total-lock casters that immobilize both the wheel and swivel, and directional locks. The availability of brake types varies by caster series and load rating.

Colson offers one of the widest wheel material selections in the industry, including soft rubber, hard rubber, polyurethane (multiple durometers), nylon, phenolic, polypropylene, cast iron, and forged steel. Many materials are available in non-marking formulations for floor-sensitive environments.

The Colson product line stands out for its versatility.
