How to Use Floor Locks
Floor Lock Operation
- Engage: Press the down pedal fully until it locks in place. The floor lock is now engaged and stabilising the trolley.
- Release: Press the up pedal until it aligns with the down pedal, then release. The base will retract, allowing the trolley to move freely.
Selecting & Installing Floor Locks
- Choose a model that clears the floor when retracted to avoid unnecessary drag.
- For retrofitting, select a floor lock with an extended height 1.6mm to 6mm greater than your castor height.
- Mount the floor lock centrally between castors for optimal stability.
- When installed, the floor lock should sit 5mm above the ground in the UP position to ensure proper function.
