Benefits of The Albion Swivel Rig
Swivel casters provide the maneuverability needed to easily position carts and equipment around corners, through narrow aisles, and in confined work areas. This quality Albion swivel rig features heavy-duty 1/4" steel construction, dual ball bearing raceways for smooth swiveling, a grease zerk for easy maintenance, and an oversized 3/4" kingpin. According to Albion testing, the larger 3/4" kingpin delivers up to 40% longer service life than traditional 5/8" kingpin designs commonly found on imported and many competitive industrial casters. The result is smoother steering, greater durability, and dependable long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.
Why Choose a Phenolic Wheel?
Phenolic wheels have been a trusted industrial standard for decades because they provide exceptional strength, durability, and value. This premium USA-made phenolic resin wheel is reinforced with macerated fabric for excellent load capacity, resistance to hard impacts and industrial chemicals, and quieter operation than steel or aluminum wheels while helping protect concrete and finished floors. Rated for temperatures from -45°F to +250°F with a Rockwell hardness of 102E, phenolic wheels perform best on smooth, dry floors and are not recommended for prolonged exposure to standing water.
