Envoy 6" × 2" Red PU plate brake castor — 150 × 50 mm ball-bearing swivel wheel with foot-operated brake lock for workshop trolleys, warehouse carts, and industrial platforms that must stay stationary during use. In stock at Multi Trade Combines, AT Road, Guwahati.
The Envoy 6" x 2" Red Polyurethane Plate Brake castor is the braked companion to the standard Envoy 6" x 2" plate swivel castor — sharing the same 150 mm diameter, 50 mm wide PU tread, ball-bearing race, and plate-mounted swivel head, but adding a foot-operated brake mechanism that locks the wheel rotation (and on some variants, the swivel head) when depressed. This brake lock is essential for any trolley that must remain stationary during work activity, loading and unloading, or storage on a sloped workshop or warehouse floor.
The polyurethane tread on this brake castor delivers the same advantages as the non-brake variant: excellent rolling resistance on concrete and coated floors, oil and chemical splash resistance, non-marking surface protection, and superior load-bearing compared with narrow rubber wheels that can flat-spot under sustained static load. The 150 mm diameter gives enough ground clearance for cable trays and minor floor irregularities that would stall a smaller wheel. The ball-bearing hub ensures free rolling when the brake is released, making the trolley easy to push even when loaded with heavy equipment or materials.
Workshop trolleys carrying welding machines, compressors, or drill presses need brake castors on at least two wheels so the trolley stays put during welding or drilling operations without the operator having to hold it against the vibration and reaction forces. Packing and dispatch trolleys in Guwahati's warehouses and distribution centres need brake castors so they do not roll during product loading in loading bays or on gradient floors. Medical equipment trolleys require certified brake castors for patient safety, and Multi Trade Combines stocks the Envoy range for all these applications from AT Road, Guwahati, with shipping across all eight northeastern states.

Workshop and factory trolley builders who need the 150 mm PU size with brake for the braked positions; hospital and clinic equipment trolley fabricators; warehouse and logistics packing station cart builders; automotive workshop tool cabinet assemblers; and industrial equipment service trolley manufacturers across the Northeast all specify the Envoy 6" x 2" plate brake variant as standard. It is frequently ordered alongside the matching non-brake swivel castor (Envoy 6" x 2" Red PU Plate) for a complete four-castor trolley kit.
Pairs with: Envoy 6" x 2" Red PU Plate (non-brake) for the free-swivel positions, Envoy 8" x 2" for heavier trolley upgrades, and steel angle/tube for trolley frame fabrication.
Brake castors are used on at least two corners (typically the two rear corners, or diagonally opposite corners) of any trolley or cart that needs to stay stationary during loading, unloading, or work activity — preventing the trolley rolling on sloped floors or when loads are placed on one side. On hospital equipment trolleys, workshop tool cabinets, packing station carts, and welding machine trolleys, brake castors are mandatory for safe operation. The brake on the Envoy 6" plate brake castor is a simple, reliable foot-operated side-lever mechanism.
Yes — and this is the standard configuration. A four-castor trolley typically uses two standard swivel castors (front, for turning) and two plate-brake swivel castors (rear, for locking). Some heavy-duty trolleys use fixed (non-swivel) castors at the rear with brakes. Multi Trade Combines stocks both the Envoy 6" x 2" Red PU Plate (non-brake) and the Plate Brake variant so you can order the exact mix needed for your trolley build.
