5 inch stainless steel swivel caster with brake (304).
The braked variant of the washdown standard: 304 stainless throughout, with a total-lock brake for equipment that parks on the sloped, wet floors food plants are built with.

Washdown floors slope toward drains by design, which means unbraked equipment in a food plant migrates. This model adds a total-lock brake — locking wheel and swivel together — to the 5 inch 304 stainless swivel, with the brake mechanism and its hardware inside the same grade-per-component specification as the fork.
Brakes are where mixed materials hide in stainless casters: a plated brake pedal or carbon-steel linkage quietly rusts inside an otherwise stainless product. The quotation for this model states the brake hardware material alongside the fork grade, and the sample check includes the brake's operation after the specification review.
Configuration options
- Unbraked swivel and rigid companions on the same plate standard.
- 316 grade quoted as its own specification.
- Private label packaging under the OEM programme.
What the sample verifies
Before bulk production, the production sample of this model is checked against the locked specification: wheel diameter and — critically — wheel width measured, tread hardness verified, bearing type confirmed, fork and plate thickness measured, and load performance tested per the stated convention (EN 12532 / ANSI ICWM). The approved sample becomes the reference for the shipment, and the order carries batch traceability back to it.

About this model
Is the brake pedal stainless too?
Brake hardware material is a stated line on this model's specification. If any component were a different material, it would be named there — that is what the format is for.
Total lock or wheel brake — which do I need?
On sloped wet floors, total lock: a wheel-only brake still lets the caster swivel and the equipment walk sideways. Total lock freezes both.
How many braked casters per machine?
Two braked swivels at the operator end is the common layout; four where the floor slope or safety case demands it.
Need this caster under your own brand?
Private label, custom packaging and carton marks are available across the range — mention it in the RFQ and the quotation will include the branding steps.
