Casters 101: Understanding Side Tread Lock Brakes

To engage a side tread lock brake, one side of the lever is pushed down. This moves the L-bar closer to the wheel tread. As the L-bar touches the tread, it creates tension and prevents the wheel from spinning. The more the lever is pushed down, the more the brake engages.

Side tread lock brakes are sometimes referred to as top lock brakes.
