Product Detail

Generally the foot operated brakes on swivel castors swivel with the wheel so they trail the direction of travel. If the wheels are easily accessible this is not generally too much of a problem, especially if only two brakes are needed. However, stage trucks are generally designed to hide the castors from the audience making access to the brakes very difficult. If the truck needs positioning in view of the audience it can get messy!

These castors are designed to avoid this familiar problem. The foot operated lever brake will lock off both the wheel and swivel but it remains fixed to the top plate. Your carpenters or metal fabricators will be able to position the castor so the lever neatly protrudes from the rear of the truck. A little bit of luminous tape on the lever and your trucks can be swiftly locked off even in a quick blackout. German manufacture.
