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 enables secure mounting to various equipment and transport systems. The housing is constructed from heavy steel sheet, providing exceptional durability and structural integrity for long-term operational performance. The wheel assembly incorporates a 7.87-inch diameter design with an elastic tire featuring non-marking, vulcanized tread material that protects sensitive surfaces while delivering superior grip and traction. The wheel is supported by a precision ball bearing that ensures smooth rotation and extended service life under continuous use. The overall height of the caster measures 9.45 inches, accommodating standard equipment configurations and clearance requirements. The caster demonstrates impressive load-carrying capabilities with a static load capacity of 1,543.23 pounds, while dynamic load capacities reach 551.16 pounds at speeds up to 3.73 miles per hour and 881.85 pounds at speeds up to 2.49 miles per hour, depending on operational requirements. The Alpha caster is engineered for versatile 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.
