6" Rubber Swivel Caster - SS - 06TPX-125-DL-TP01

About This Caster - SS-06TPX-125-DL-TP01

Specify this 6-inch stainless swivel for a bed or heavy cart that wanders when pushed down a long corridor, where the staff need it to track dead straight without fighting the steering the whole way.

The directional lock is the difference: it locks the swivel head straight so the caster runs like a fixed wheel down the hall, then releases to swivel freely for maneuvering in the room. It does not brake the wheel, so it is not for parking. The stainless construction handles daily disinfection, and the grey non-marking rubber tread on a polyolefin core keeps the roll quiet on hospital vinyl.

Ideal applications

• Hospital beds and heavy carts that need to track straight down corridors, vinyl floor
• Long-run transport between departments, then free steering in the room, multi-shift
• Equipment that wanders on plain swivels but must still maneuver, sealed floor

Skip the directional lock if you need the equipment to park and hold still; the total-lock SS-06TPX-TL brakes the wheel and swivel for a transfer.

Pairs with: plain SS-06TPX-SW swivels on the other corners, with these directional-lock units where straight tracking is set.
