Locking Swivel Wheels
Locking swivel wheels offer 360-degree rotation for easy movement and a locking mechanism to keep equipment stable when stopped. They are used in industrial, commercial, and furniture settings where both mobility and security matter.

Typical Use Cases
- Furniture: Chairs, cabinets, and mobile workstations need stable locking casters.
- Industrial Carts and Trolleys: Designed for heavy loads and rough floors with reliable locks.
- Medical Equipment: Smooth rolling with secure locks for safety and precise positioning.
- Food and Utility Carts: Durable wheels that lock securely during use.

Consider these factors to pick the right locking swivel wheels:
| Selection Factor | Details |
|---|---|
| Load Capacity | Select wheels rated above your equipment's total weight for safety and durability. |
| Wheel Diameter | Larger wheels roll easier over uneven surfaces and reduce effort. |
| Material | Polyurethane protects floors and lowers noise; rubber cushions; steel and nylon offer strength and wear resistance. |
| Locking Type | Dual locks stop wheel spin and swivel; some have separate locks for more control. |
