The Alpha is a swivel caster with total lock, head end of caster, designed for demanding industrial applications. It features a rectangular plate fitting for secure mounting to equipment. The housing is constructed from steel sheet, heavy material and incorporates two ball races for the swivel bearing mechanism, ensuring smooth directional changes and reliable locking functionality. The wheel consists of a polypropylene body with polyurethane, biosourced, injected, electric-conductive tread material, mounted on a plain bearing with synthetic spacer tube for consistent rolling performance. The wheel measures 6.3 inches in diameter, and the caster has an overall height of 7.87 inches. Load capacity specifications include a dynamic load rating of 297.62 lb at speeds up to 2.49 mph and a static load capacity of 595.25 lb, making it suitable for automotive OEM, catering carts and meal delivery systems, container construction, electronic systems and clean-room technology, fire fighting technology and fire protection, machine construction, post logistic systems, production and platform trolleys, roll cages, tool cabinets, transport equipment, waste disposal equipment, and work benches.
