Why do you need casters with safety function?
Casters with safety function ensure that the caster is automatically blocked and can only move when the corresponding lever is operated by hand. As long as the lever is operated, the casters can be moved.
If, on the other hand, the lever remains motionless, the caster is automatically blocked. This system ensures a safe stand and thus excludes unintentional rolling away. In technical jargon, this is also referred to as casters with a dead man's brake.
For this purpose, we at TENTE develop casters with a safety function.

Which areas incorporate the dead man’s brake system?
e know this type of caster with dead man brake from baggage carts at the airport. In this caster with dead man brake, the caster is activated only when the designated lever is pressed down. That is, the trolley can move only when the push handle is pressed down, as this will release the brake. The casters with dead man's brake lock immediately when released, ensuring that the wheels and casters are securely locked. This prevents the cart from rolling away due to a moment of inattention.
Other carts, which have casters with dead man's brakes, work in the same way. As soon as the lever is pressed down, the brake is automatically released. As soon as the lever is released, the brake on the casters closes automatically and the trolley comes to an immediate stop.
By using a caster with dead man's brake, the user always has control over the wheel. Even if the user forgets to block the caster, this will not result in a dangerous roll away, as the caster is blocked by default. This is especially important for the safety of people. The caster with dead man's brake thus leads to an increased level of work safety for people and for the equipment.
