A total lock brake locks both the wheel and the swivel mechanism completely. This castor features a directional brake for enhanced manoeuvrability during positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #667eea; font-size: 1.1rem; font-weight: 600; margin: 0 0 0.5rem 0;\"\u003eWhat type of floors is this castor suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #555; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003eThe polyurethane tread is non-marking and suitable for all smooth floor surfaces including polished concrete, epoxy resin, vinyl, laminate, and tile.

For example, if your loaded trolley weighs 400kg and uses 4 castors, each castor carries 100kg. With a safety margin, you should select castors rated for at least 130kg.
