Frequently Asked Questions

How many brake castors do I need on a trolley?
Most trolleys use 2 brake castors and 2 standard swivel castors. Place the brake castors on the side you access most frequently.

What is the difference between a side-lever brake and a total lock brake?
A side-lever brake locks the wheel only. A total lock brake locks both the wheel and the swivel head, preventing any movement in any direction.
