The Alpha swivel caster is engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring reliable mobility and load distribution across diverse operational environments. This unit features a rectangular plate fitting that provides secure mounting to equipment and transport systems. The housing is constructed from heavy steel sheet and incorporates two ball races for the swivel bearing, ensuring smooth rotational movement and extended service life under continuous use. The wheel assembly consists of a 3.94 inch diameter wheel body manufactured from plastic thermoset material with heat-resistant properties, featuring an identical tread material composition that delivers consistent performance and durability. The wheel is supported by a dry bearing bush that minimizes maintenance requirements while maintaining smooth rolling characteristics. With an overall height of 5.04 inches, this caster is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing equipment configurations and transport systems. The Alpha swivel caster supports a static load capacity of 551.16 pounds, accommodating substantial weight distribution in stationary applications, while maintaining a dynamic load capacity of 275.58 pounds at speeds up to 2.49 miles per hour, making it suitable for both powered and manually operated equipment. This versatile caster is ideally suited for 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.
