Can the swivel be locked on your Metaltech Heavy-Duty Caster with Foot Brake — 8In., Model# M-MBC8 so it will not rotate?
It looks to have teeth that will lock it in place.

Applying the brake on this caster will lock both the swiveling and rolling action of the wheel. Also a pig tail lock (item #405951) shown below should be inserted through the hole in the shaft to prevent the caster shaft from turning inside the scaffold tube.

Hi Frankcm, thank you for your question. Yes the brake on the M-MBC8 caster lock both the rolling and swivelling actions of the wheel. You will also need to use a "Pig Tail" lock http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200442276_200442276 or a nut and bolt through the hole in the shaft, in order to lock the caster shaft from turning inside the scaffold tube.

Are these a soft rubber type wheel or harder like plastic?
I have casters currently that are a harder material that leave indents in the floor when rolled around. Looking for something softer.

CubPilot· 11 years ago
I have only used on concrete surface but wheels appear to be poly and I should be none marking although I can imagine that they might leave slight indention in linoleum.
