• 568X Series Casters—with Total lock and directional lock, bolt-on mounting, wheel diameter 150 mm, load capacity 220 kg, also available in electrically conductive (CON/ESD) versions. This caster is suitable for heavy-duty operating tables

• 569X Series Casters—with full and directional lock, bolt-on mounting, wheel diameter 150 mm, load capacity 220 kg, also available in electrically conductive (CON/ESD) versions. These casters are suitable for heavy-duty operating tables

These operating table casters—Made in Germany—stand out for their machine washability and central locking device when used in operating areas and operating rooms.

An overview of the features and differences of plastic double casters:

• 590 Series Casters—without a locking system, mounted via a 35 mm diameter hole for external hydraulic locking systems, wheel diameter 100 mm, load capacity 300 kg, also available in electrically conductive (CON/ESD) versions. The lockable heavy-duty casters are ideal for heavy-duty operating tables.

• Caster Series 590V—with integrated electronic locking system, Wheel diameter 100 mm, load capacity 300 kg, also available in electrically conductive (CON/ESD) versions. The lockable heavy-duty casters are ideal for heavy-duty operating tables.

The easily maneuverable plastic dual casters, with or without an integrated locking system, offer a low installation height of 124 mm for the 590 series and 122 mm for the 590V series, despite extremely high load capacities of 300 kg per caster. The heavy-duty operating table casters impress with their high quality and exceptional stability.

The STEINCO 558F, 559F, 558W, 559W, 558X, 559X, 568W, 569W, 568X, 569X, 590, and 590V  were developed specifically to meet the high demands of modern operating tables, treatment tables, examination tables, and patient tables. The operating table casters are secured using a hollow bolt with a hexagonal eccentric. The locking device can be engaged using a single control element.

Central locking has become the standard feature on modern operating tables. Since every second counts in an emergency, releasing and locking the brakes via a single Brake pedal, for example, is significantly faster and offers a decisive advantage. Furthermore, with four Casters, it’s impossible to forget to use the locking device to lock them all.

Another important factor is the stability of the operating table. Especially in microsurgery—such as in ophthalmology or neurosurgery—the table must not move even a millimeter during surgery. Central locking casters ensure absolute stability. The heavy-duty casters 558X, 559X, 568X, 569X, as well as the 590 and 590V models with electric locking systems, are particularly well-suited for this purpose.
 

To determine the right plastic double casters for surgical furniture for your specific application, we’ll work with you, step by step, to clarify the requirements:

What loads act on the Weels for operating tables?

What requirements are placed on the locking device & maneuverability? (Directional locks)

What starting and rolling characteristics are required?

What environmental factors and conditions affect the surgical table casters?

What are the requirements for chemical resistance? (Disinfectants)

Once these points have been clarified, we will accurately and professionally determine the right surgical table caster for your mobile operating tables. The 558X, 559X, 568X, 569X, 590, and 590V series are particularly well-suited for heavy-duty operating tables.
