The Alpha is a fixed caster designed for demanding industrial applications requiring reliable mobility and load support. The caster features a rectangular plate fitting that provides secure mounting to equipment and transport systems. The housing is constructed from heavy steel sheet, ensuring robust structural integrity and durability under continuous operational stress. The wheel assembly incorporates a 6.3 inch diameter design with an elastic tire featuring non-marking, vulcanized tread material that protects floors and surfaces while maintaining excellent grip and traction characteristics. The wheel is mounted on a precision ball bearing that enables smooth rotation and reduces friction during operation. The overall height of the caster measures 7.87 inches, accommodating standard equipment configurations and clearance requirements. The static load capacity reaches 1322.77 pounds, providing substantial support for stationary applications. Dynamic load capacity specifications vary based on operational speed: at 3.73 miles per hour, the caster supports 440.92 pounds, while at 2.49 miles per hour, it accommodates 661.39 pounds. The polyamide wheel body material offers excellent chemical resistance and durability. The Alpha caster is engineered 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.
