On the current market most medical casters just have a total lock which can lock the wheel rotation and steering at the same time. Generally common carts use 2 pc rigid + 2 pc swivel to make the trolley reach a balance point between the operation on both turning direction and straight moving.

But the medical carts have higher required 360 degree steering, so most medical carts need to use 4 pc all with swivel type.That’s will cause another problem----- difficult to keep the cart moving in a straight line especially at the long passageway.

Consider this we have developed a new kind of double medical casters with directional lock, which combine the double caster’s flexible steering and allow the medical casters can be moved at straight line.
