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 polyamide body that delivers optimal performance characteristics. The wheel is equipped with a roller bearing for smooth rotation and features an elastic tire with non-marking, vulcanized tread material that protects sensitive surfaces while maintaining excellent traction and maneuverability. The overall height of the caster measures 7.87 inches, allowing for precise integration into equipment designs with specific spatial constraints. The caster demonstrates impressive load-bearing capabilities, with a static load capacity of 1,322.77 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 661.39 pounds at speeds up to 2.49 miles per hour. The Alpha caster is ideally suited for diverse applications including automotive original equipment 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.
