4inch 5inch Premium Central Control Medical Caster Wheel – Silent TPR Tread

Engineered for the demanding healthcare environment, our Central Control Medical Casters provide the perfect balance of silent mobility and absolute stability. Whether it’s for a hospital bed or a precision medical cart, these casters deliver smooth, noise-free performance that ensures patient comfort and staff efficiency.

Key Features

Ultra-Quiet Operation: The high-elastic TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) tread combined with a PP core absorbs shocks and eliminates floor noise—essential for quiet hospital corridors.
Precision Control: Featuring an integrated steel main axis, these casters support 3-position control (Directional Lock, Total Lock, and Free Swivel), allowing for easy maneuvering with a single foot pedal.
Medical-Grade Durability: Built with a PA6 (Nylon) frame that is resistant to corrosion, rust, and harsh clinical cleaning agents.
Standard Compliance: Fully compliant with EN12531 standards, ensuring safety and reliability for medical equipment.
High Load Capacity: Supporting up to 125KG (Static) per wheel, designed to handle heavy diagnostic machinery and patient beds.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between 3-position and 2-position control?
A: The 3-position control offers the highest versatility: Directional Lock (for straight-line tracking), Total Lock (immobilizes both wheel and swivel), and Free Swivel (360° movement). The 2-position control typically toggles between Total Lock and Free Swivel. Most hospital beds require at least two 3-position casters for optimal steering.

Q2: Are these casters compatible with my existing hospital bed?
A: Our casters use a standard 28mm diameter x 96mm length cam-hole stem, which is the industry standard for most central-locking medical beds and stretchers. Please verify your equipment’s stem socket dimensions before ordering.

Q3: Is the TPR tread safe for all flooring types?
A: Yes. The TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) tread is non-marking and safe for all hospital floorings, including vinyl, epoxy, hardwood, and tile. It is specifically designed to provide high grip while remaining extremely quiet.

Q4: Do these wheels comply with international medical standards?
A: Absolutely. Our casters are manufactured and tested to meet the EN12531 standard, which is the specific safety and performance requirement for casters used in hospital beds.

Q5: How do I maintain these casters for long-term use?
A: Thanks to the precision-sealed ball bearings and PA6 (Nylon) frame, these casters are virtually maintenance-free. They are resistant to common hospital disinfectants. We recommend a quick inspection of the locking mechanism every 6 months to ensure smooth operation.

Q6: Do you offer bulk discounts for medical facilities or OEMs?
A: Yes! We specialize in B2B supply. For orders of more than 50 units, please contact our sales team directly at [Your Email Address] for a customized wholesale quote and optimized shipping rates.

Q7: Can I use these casters in extreme temperatures?
A: Yes, these wheels are rated for temperatures ranging from -30°C to +80°C, making them suitable for use in walk-in coolers or environments requiring steam cleaning.
