As a manufacturer, OEM, procurer, buyer, planner, or designer, take advantage of the many benefits of STEINCO hospital bed plastic caster and weel assemblies, which are ideally suited for continuous use in everyday hospital settings.

Why does the central alignment and directional lock of hospital bed, clinic bed, and hospital ward bed casters make all the difference?

Our 878, 879, 898W, and 899W series of casters for hospital beds are equipped with a stem for central locking. This stem secures the Nylon caster to the bed frame and activates the locking mechanism of the hospital bed casters. Typically, the central locking is achieved via a hexagonal eccentric located inside the pin.

The position of the eccentric controls the functions of the medical-grade casters. Depending on the model, the hospital bed’s weels can be used as freely moving swivel casters, as fixed castors with active directional lock, or as fully locked brake casters with Total lock.

The advantages of heavy-duty casters for hospital beds with central locking mechanisms include increased patient safety through simultaneous locking, improved ergonomics, reduced physical effort for hospital staff, and precise maneuverability and tracking thanks to the Directional lock.

What specific requirements apply to single wheel swivel casters for hospital, clinic, and ambulance beds?

STEINCO casters and weels for hospital, clinic, and intensive care beds were developed specifically for medical technology. Hospital bed casters should be safe, quiet, smooth-rolling, maintenance-free, washable (according to the AK-BWA standard), antibacterial, and, in some cases, with electrically conductive properties (CON/ESD).

Our single wheel swivel casters for hospital beds are available from stock in many wheel sizes and load capacities and are perfectly suited for hospital beds. Among our product lines, you’ll find single wheel swivel casters for mobile beds that are certified to DIN 12531, monitored by TÜV Süd, and meet the highest standards.

STEINCO heavy-duty casters for hospital beds can withstand high loads and offer reliable safety thanks to their smooth-operating central locking mechanism. The sealed housings of the plastic casters in the 898W and 899W series prevent the accumulation of dirt and bacteria and are machine washable at temperatures up to 80°. Thanks to the use of precision ball bearings, these bed casters offer first-class maneuverability.

Which washable hospital bed casters with central locking mechanisms are right for my specific application?

To identify the right hospital bed casters for your specific application, we work with you systematically, step by step, to clarify your requirements:


1. What loads act on the hospital bed weels?
2. What are the requirements for maneuverability and locking? (Directional locks)
3. What starting and rolling characteristics are desired?
4. What environmental factors and conditions affect the hospital bed casters?
5. What are the requirements for chemical resistance? (Disinfectants, wash tunnels)


Once these points have been clarified, we will professionally and accurately determine the right hospital bed casters for your clinic, hospital, transport, and patient beds. With STEINCO hospital bed transport casters, you can count on safety and durability!
