Linea Automatic Locking Casters

 Linea Safety Brake Casters (Deadman Brake) – Reliable and Safe Mobility


When it comes to moving heavy equipment, carts, or trolleys, safety and stability are very important. Ordinary casters can sometimes move when they are not supposed to, which may cause accidents or damage. To solve this problem, Linea has developed a special caster design – the Linea Safety Brake Caster, also called the Cable Locking Caster


These casters are different from normal ones because they are locked by default. This means the wheel cannot roll unless the operator actively releases the brake. It works like a “deadman switch” – if the operator is not holding or pressing the release mechanism, the caster stays locked. This unique safety feature reduces the risk of unwanted movement and makes handling equipment much safer.

How the Deadman Brake System Works


The deadman safety brake system is simple but very effective.


*Locked by default: The caster wheel is permanently in the locked position.


* Release by hand or foot: The operator can press a hand lever or a foot lever to unlock the wheel. Once released, the caster rolls smoothly.


*Automatic safety return: As soon as the lever is not pressed, the brake locks again, stopping the wheel immediately.


This system makes sure that equipment only moves when the operator wants it to. It prevents carts or trolleys from rolling away on slopes, uneven floors, or during loading and unloading.

Design Features of Linea Safety Brake Casters


The Linea Deadman Brake Casters are designed not only for safety but also for smooth mobility and long-lasting durability. Some key features include:


1. Twin wheel design

The caster has two wheels instead of one. This gives better stability, spreads the weight more evenly, and makes movement smoother, even under heavy loads.


2. Strong ball bearings

The wheels are supported by ball bearings that hold the cable wire. This makes rolling and steering much easier, even when carrying heavy equipment.


3. High-quality construction

The casters are made with durable materials that can handle heavy-duty use in demanding environments such as factories, warehouses, and workshops.


4. Operator control

The connection between the caster and the trolley is made directly by the operator. This means safety always stays in the hands of the person moving the equipment.


5. Size availability

At present, the Linea Safety Brake Caster System is available in 100 mm wheel diameter, which is suitable for most trolley and cart applications.

Applications of Linea Safety Brake Casters


Because of their unique deadman brake system, these casters are very useful in industries where both safety and mobility are required.


* Manufacturing: Equipment and material handling carts can be kept stable during production but moved easily when needed.


* Warehousing: Prevents storage trolleys from rolling on uneven floors or loading docks.


* Logistics: Safe handling of goods during transport and movement inside distribution centers.


* Medical or laboratory use**: Although designed for industrial use, the safety system also makes them suitable for sensitive environments where equipment stability is critical.


Any place where workers use trolleys, carts, or movable equipment can benefit from the added safety these casters provide.

The brakes will loose after a some time working,sometimes the brake can not lock wheel tightly or can not locked wheel anymore.   2.Need more strength to operate the lock cam, which affects the service life of the central control link system.     Locking gear brake: The wheel is locked through brake gear parts lock the inside gear of the wheel.   Advantage:   1.
