Caster wheel AWTools with brake, black rubber tread, 160 mm

AWTools caster wheel with brake, black rubber tread, 160 mm is a swivel caster designed to add mobility and reliable locking to equipment and furniture. The 160 mm diameter wheel features a black rubber tread that cushions movement, reduces noise and protects floor surfaces. An integrated brake secures the wheel in place when stationary, while the swivel mounting enables smooth directional changes for trolleys, carts and workshop furniture.

Advantages

The rubber tread absorbs shocks and minimizes vibrations, improving handling of loads and protecting delicate floor finishes. The swivel design allows easy steering and positioning in confined spaces. An integrated mechanical brake locks the wheel quickly and securely to prevent unwanted movement. Durable construction and materials provide stable rolling performance under regular industrial and workshop use.

Suitable for

• Workshop trolleys and tool cabinets
• Material handling carts and dollies
• Industrial furniture and equipment stands
• Service and maintenance carts in workshops and warehouses

Key specifications

• Wheel diameter: 160 mm
• Tread material: black rubber
• Mounting type: swivel caster with integrated brake
• Brake type: mechanical integrated brake for single wheel locking
• Intended surfaces: hard floors, concrete, tile, and similar indoor surfaces

How to use

Mount the swivel caster to the equipment or furniture according to the mounting plate or stem type appropriate for your application. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque and that the mounting surface is flat and level. Roll the equipment to the desired position and engage the brake to secure the wheel and prevent movement. Regularly inspect the tread and brake mechanism for wear, debris or damage and replace the caster when rolling performance or locking reliability deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

For best performance on hard indoor floors, periodically clean the rubber tread and remove trapped debris. Avoid prolonged exposure to oils, solvents or extreme temperatures to preserve tread life. Check load capacity compatibility with the equipment and distribute weight across multiple casters to reduce wear and maintain stable movement.
