• Wheel Brake: This locks the wheel only, prohibiting the equipment from moving.

  Maxi-Lok(TM): The most positive type of brake available! Simultaneously lock the wheel and swivel in any position - instantly and positively immobilizing your equipment. With a toe tap, this mechanism allows no movement of the wheel or swivel, offering greater safety and stability than even the most effective wheel brake. Another toe tap releases the brake for exceptional mobility.

  Track-Lok(TM): A steering lock caster which makes it easier to push equipment long distances. Just step on the pedal and a swivel caster becomes rigid for straight line tracking.
