5" Rubber Swivel Caster - NG-05QDP-125-DL-TP01

About This Caster - NG-05QDP-125-DL-TP01

Specify this 5-inch swivel for a stretcher or heavy equipment cart that has to steer straight down a long corridor, where a taller wheel clears thresholds and the swivel can lock to hold a line.

The directional lock holds the swivel straight without braking the wheel, so the stretcher tracks down the hall instead of crabbing and drops back to full swivel with a tap of the pedal. Medcaster builds the Next Generation rig from glass-filled nylon, so it resists disinfectant and wash-down without rusting and runs maintenance-free, and the grey non-marking rubber tread on a polyolefin core rolls quietly over vinyl. The 5-inch wheel clears thresholds and elevator gaps, and the precision ball bearing keeps the push light.

Ideal applications

• Stretchers and heavy carts tracking straight down corridors
• 5-inch wheel clearing thresholds and elevator gaps
• Corrosion-proof maintenance-free rig under daily disinfection

When a transfer calls for the equipment fully stopped rather than only tracking straight, step to a total-lock NG-05QDP-125-TL-TP01 that locks wheel and swivel in one pedal.

Pairs with: plain NG-05QDP-125-SW-TP01 swivels on the front corners, these directional-lock units on the rear.

Wrong fit? Need a full stop or a smaller wheel? See the total-lock NG-05QDP-125-TL-TP01 and the 4-inch directional-lock NG-04QDP-125-DL-TP01.
