Safety Brake Anti-Runaway Chair Caster

Prevent runaway stools & falls. Casters lock when you stand.

(a.k.a., Anti-rolling casters, Anti-runaway casters, Safety caster; Self-braking caster; Automatic-braking caster; Unoccupied-braking caster; Unloaded-braking caster; roll-control caster; internal brake caster)

This safety caster has an internal brake that prevents the wheels from rolling freely when the user stands up, and allows free chair movement when you are sitting. It prevents unwanted or unexpected movement of the chair away from the user. In some European countries all chairs must have safety casters. In the USA, theses casters are primarily used by injured or disabled workers, on sloping floors, and on high stools equipped with footrings.

Important! Safety casters may not release and roll if you weigh less than 110 pounds.

Price is for one (1) caster. Order a quantity of five (5) casters for a typical 5-star chair base.

Tread

Make sure the casters you select are made for the type of flooring you have.
• Hard-wheel casters for carpeted floors. The harder the wheel, the easier it will roll.
• Soft-wheel casters for hard floors such as tile, wood, or cement. Soft-wheel casters are more resilient to protect the floor and to keep the chair from rolling too freely. Soft casters are also quieter on hard floor surfaces.

Wheel size

Smaller diameter wheels produce more rolling resistance. Larger diameter wheels roll easier and more freely over dirt, grit, flooring imperfections and small fallen objects. They also roll more easily over deep-carpet pile and may also carry more weight.

NOTE: A larger wheel increases chair height. Remember to consider this if seat height is critical.
