DH Casters Lock With 8" Wheel, Plate Mount - C-FL8

DH Casters Lock With 8 Inch Wheel Function

DH Casters lock with 8 inch wheel is a welded steel floor lock that works with plate mounted casters, so a mobile unit can be held in place at the floor when needed. The welded steel construction creates a rigid body for the lock mechanism, which helps the unit resist flexing during foot operation on heavier carts or fixtures. An overall height range of 8-1/2 to 9-1/2 inches positions the lock to engage at a practical working level relative to typical caster and frame setups, so the pad meets the floor instead of riding too high or dragging. The foot-operated design lets the operator engage or release the lock using a downward step, which keeps both hands free to handle the load or guide the cart while the floor contact is set.

Floor Lock Details That Support Daily Use

• The welded steel construction forms a solid housing for the floor lock, which supports repeated foot operation in environments where carts or platforms are moved and locked frequently.
• The non-slip rubber pad sits at the contact point with the floor, which increases friction so the locked caster setup resists movement on typical shop or warehouse surfaces.
• The foot-operated action allows the user to step on the mechanism to engage the lock, which simplifies securing the equipment without bending down during normal workflows.
• The floor lock works with an 8 inch wheel height range of 8-1/2 to 9-1/2 inches, which lets the pad reach the floor correctly when used with casters sized around that geometry.

Plate Mount Floor Lock And Bolt Pattern Fit

This DH Casters plate mount floor lock uses a plate size of 3-15/16 inches by 4-1/2 inches, which defines the mounting footprint on the cart or equipment frame. The plate hole spacing runs from 2-5/8 inches by 3-5/8 inches to 3 inches by 3 inches, which provides a defined range of bolt patterns for matching to a mounting surface. An attaching bolt size of 3/8 inch sets the fastener diameter for the connection, which lets installers coordinate the lock with existing 3/8 inch mounting holes or plan for that size when fabricating a plate. These plate and hole dimensions support a straightforward layout process when positioning the floor lock alongside casters on a structural member.

Using The C-FL8 Floor Lock In Caster Builds

Where This Welded Steel Floor Lock Fits Best

The C-FL8 floor lock belongs to the plate mounted casters category, so it is intended to mount on flat structural members near casters that share a similar plate-style footprint. With a plate size of 3-15/16 inches by 4-1/2 inches, the lock occupies a compact area on the frame, which is useful when space is limited between wheel housings or at the ends of a cart. The plate hole spacing range from 2-5/8 inches by 3-5/8 inches to 3 inches by 3 inches creates mounting flexibility on steel bases drilled within that pattern, which supports aligning the lock in line with the caster plates. An overall height of 8-1/2 to 9-1/2 inches lines the working pad height with 8 inch wheel setups, which lets the non-slip rubber pad contact the floor while the wheels stay in light relief.

How Floor Lock Details Support Repeatable Results

The welded steel construction gives the C-FL8 floor lock a fixed geometry, which helps the foot pedal, housing, and pad stay aligned over time so the pad contacts the floor squarely with each cycle. The non-slip rubber pad provides a higher friction interface at the floor, which helps the locked position resist small shifts that can otherwise occur when a cart is parked. The foot-operated design concentrates activation into a single downward step, which helps operators create consistent engagement force without hand tools or levers. Plate hole spacing from 2-5/8 inches by 3-5/8 inches to 3 inches by 3 inches, combined with a 3-15/16 by 4-1/2 inch plate, defines a repeatable drilling pattern across multiple carts or frames. An attaching bolt size of 3/8 inch keeps the fastener standard across installations, which simplifies fabrication and later replacement of the floor lock on equipment fleets.
