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 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 3.15 inch diameter polyamide body with a tread material identical to the wheel body, delivering consistent rolling characteristics and wear resistance. The wheel is supported by a plain bearing system that facilitates smooth rotation while maintaining load stability. The overall height of the caster measures 4.25 inches, accommodating standard equipment configurations and clearance requirements. The static load capacity reaches 881.85 pounds, providing substantial support for stationary applications and equipment positioning. The dynamic load capacity is rated at 440.92 pounds when operating at speeds up to 2.49 miles per hour, ensuring safe performance during transport and material handling operations. 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.
