ALBION

ALBION plate casters are available in swivel and rigid configurations. Swivel casters allow for multidirectional movement, while rigid casters are designed for straight-line travel. The product line includes general-purpose, medium-duty, and heavy-duty models. Wheel materials include polyolefin, phenolic, polyurethane, and rubber. Mounting options include slotted and rectangular plates. Bearing types include ball and roller. Specific models feature kingpinless designs for heavy-duty applications and double ball swivel raceways for smooth rotation. The casters are available in various wheel diameters, widths, and mounting heights to accommodate different load capacities and equipment requirements.

ALBION kingpinless plate casters eliminate the kingpin, using a swivel raceway with ball bearings to handle heavy loads and impact. This design reduces the risk of kingpin failure and provides smoother swiveling under load. Standard plate casters typically use a kingpin to hold the swivel assembly together. Kingpinless models are often chosen for heavy-duty applications where shock loads and continuous use are factors. In the ALBION line, kingpinless casters are available in rigid and swivel configurations with polyolefin wheels, among other options. They are suitable for industrial carts, racks, and other equipment requiring robust mobility.

ALBION casters use several wheel materials: polyolefin, phenolic, polyurethane, and rubber. Polyolefin wheels are lightweight, resistant to chemicals, and suitable for general-purpose applications. Phenolic wheels offer high load capacity, resistance to oils and greases, and are often used in heavy-duty industrial settings. Polyurethane wheels provide floor protection, quiet operation, and resistance to abrasion, making them suitable for medium-duty applications. Rubber wheels, including pneumatic types, offer shock absorption and are used on uneven surfaces. Each material has specific load ratings and performance characteristics. Selection depends on factors such as floor condition, load weight, and environmental exposure.

Selecting an ALBION caster involves considering load capacity, wheel diameter, mounting height, and wheel material. Determine the total load to be supported, including the weight of the equipment and any contents. Choose a wheel diameter that provides adequate rollability and floor protection. Mounting height must match the equipment's existing caster mounts or be compatible with the design. Wheel material should suit the floor surface and environmental conditions. Bearing type affects rolling ease and maintenance. Swivel casters allow steering, while rigid casters are for fixed direction. 3G Electric provides detailed specifications for each SKU to assist with selection. For complex applications, consult with a technical specialist.

ALBION casters are available with wheel materials that offer varying degrees of temperature and chemical resistance. Phenolic wheels, for example, can withstand higher temperatures than polyolefin or polyurethane and are resistant to many chemicals. Polyurethane wheels offer good resistance to oils and solvents but may not be suitable for high-temperature applications. Rubber wheels have limited chemical resistance. The metal components of the casters, such as the mounting plate and raceway, are typically zinc-plated or painted for corrosion resistance. For specific environmental conditions, review the material specifications or contact 3G Electric for guidance on the appropriate caster for your application.
