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 secure and straightforward installation onto equipment and transport systems. The housing is constructed from heavy steel sheet, providing exceptional durability and structural integrity to withstand rigorous operational environments. The wheel assembly incorporates a 6.3 inch diameter design with a solid rubber tread in black, engineered with electric-conductive properties to safely dissipate static charges in sensitive environments. The wheel is mounted on a roller bearing, ensuring smooth rotation and extended service life under continuous use. The overall height of the caster measures 7.87 inches, allowing for precise integration into existing equipment designs and spatial constraints. The Alpha delivers a static load capacity of 595.25 pounds, accommodating substantial weight loads during stationary conditions, while maintaining a dynamic load capacity of 297.62 pounds at speeds up to 2.49 miles per hour, making it suitable for both powered and manually operated applications. This fixed caster is ideally suited for automotive OEM manufacturing, catering carts and meal delivery systems, container construction, electronic systems and clean-room technology, fire fighting 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.
