1. Product Features Analysis

Patented Technology & Innovative Design

This caster has received utility model and design patents, providing unique advantages in braking function, structural optimization, and appearance. The patented technology enhances its competitiveness in the medical industry, offering a more efficient braking and mobility solution for medical equipment.


Durable & Aesthetic ABS Housing

The caster's outer shell is made of high-strength ABS material, which not only enhances impact resistance and corrosion resistance but also makes cleaning easy. This feature aligns with the stringent hygiene requirements in the healthcare sector.


TPE Wheel Surface for Durability & Corrosion Resistance

The wheel tread is made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material with a hardness rating of 85-90A, ensuring excellent wear resistance and chemical durability. This material can withstand frequent disinfection in hospitals without being affected by cleaning agents, ensuring long-lasting performance.


Patented Dual-Brake System

One of the key highlights of this caster is its dual-brake function, which includes a directional brake and a total brake. The directional brake locks the movement into a straight-line motion for better control, while the total brake completely locks both the wheel’s rotation and swivel, ensuring equipment remains stationary when needed. This function offers similar benefits to central locking casters but at only one-third of the cost, significantly reducing expenses for medical facilities.


International Certifications for Safety & Reliability

This caster has obtained SGS EN12530, TUV EN12530, and RoHS certifications, ensuring compliance with international safety and environmental standards:


EN12530 is a European standard for caster durability and safety, guaranteeing high product quality.

RoHS Certification confirms that the product is free from hazardous substances, making it environmentally friendly and safe for use in medical settings.


2. Suitable Medical Equipment Applications


Hospital Beds & Nursing Beds

Medical beds require smooth and flexible movement while ensuring stability when stationary. This caster’s directional and total brake functions provide precise control and enhanced safety.


Medical Carts (Emergency Carts, Medicine Carts, etc.)

Medical carts are frequently moved within hospitals, requiring casters that are smooth, silent, and equipped with a reliable braking system. The TPE tread ensures excellent grip, while the noise-reduction design minimizes disturbances to patients.


Surgical & Monitoring Equipment

Surgical equipment demands precise mobility control, while monitoring devices require a stable base. The dual-brake system allows for easy maneuverability and secure positioning, improving both operational efficiency and patient safety.


Imaging Devices (Mobile X-Ray Machines, Ultrasound Equipment, etc.)

These machines often need to be transported between rooms, requiring casters with high load-bearing capacity, smooth movement, and a stable locking mechanism. This caster’s ABS housing, bearing wave plate, and TPE wheel tread perfectly meet these demands.


3. Conclusion

Longfeng Caster’s high-performance medical caster excels in material quality, functional design, and patented technology while also being backed by international certifications. Its outstanding stability, durability, and eco-friendliness make it an ideal choice for various medical applications, including hospital beds, medical carts, surgical equipment, and imaging devices.
