The Alpha is a fixed caster designed for demanding industrial applications requiring reliable directional stability and consistent performance. The caster features a rectangular plate fitting that enables straightforward installation onto equipment and machinery. The housing is constructed from heavy steel sheet, providing exceptional durability and structural integrity to withstand rigorous operational environments. The wheel assembly incorporates a 3.15 inch diameter polyamide wheel body with an identical tread material composition, ensuring uniform wear characteristics and predictable rolling performance. The wheel is supported by a plain bearing system that facilitates smooth rotation while maintaining the fixed directional orientation essential for this caster type. The overall height of the caster measures 4.25 inches, accommodating standard equipment mounting requirements and clearance specifications. The caster delivers a static load capacity of 881.85 pounds, supporting substantial weight distribution across stationary applications. For dynamic loading conditions at speeds up to 2.49 miles per hour, the caster maintains a dynamic load capacity of 440.92 pounds, ensuring safe operation during transport and material handling. The Alpha caster is ideally suited for automotive OEM applications, catering carts and meal delivery systems, container construction, electronic systems and clean-room technology, fire fighting technology and fire protection equipment, machine construction, post logistic systems, production and platform trolleys, roll cages, tool cabinets, transport equipment, waste disposal equipment, and work benches, making it a versatile solution for diverse industrial and commercial sectors.
