The Albion 470CA12501SFBB is a 12" x 3" cast iron plate caster rated 2800 lbs per caster, mounted on a 5-1/4" x 7-1/4" plate. It is built for industrial use where part-number-exact specification, capacity, and bearing life take priority. The 12" diameter rolls cleanly over expansion joints and floor seams smaller wheels stall on. In stock at CasterHQ Mansfield, TX with same-day shipping on quantities of 1-100 placed before 2:00 PM Central. BAA / TAA documentation available on request for federal, defense, and aerospace procurement.
I spec Albion HD Raceway when the customer needs heavy capacity with hardened raceways that survive shock loading. The 470CA12501SFBB earns its place when rough concrete and shock loading are the controlling spec. Pair 12" on the steered axle with a matching rigid version on the trailing axle for true four-position cart kinematics. If your floor has expansion joints over 1/2" wide, step up to a larger wheel diameter.
Albion encodes its part numbers by series, wheel material, wheel diameter, plate size, bearing type, and mount style. The 470CA12501SFBB is decoded by your CasterHQ engineer at order time — call us at 844-439-4335 for a full breakdown.
2800 lbs per caster dynamic. On a 4-caster cart with even load distribution and a 1.3x safety factor for moving loads, that yields the rated working capacity per cart.
Yes for cast iron and steel wheels. 12" diameter rolls over expansion joints and seams cleanly. For polished or epoxy floors, ask us about poly-on-iron or thermoplastic options.
Albion's industrial casters are USA-manufactured. We provide BAA/TAA-compliant Country-of-Origin documentation on request for federal procurement, typical turnaround under 24 hours.

The Albion Casters Value Kingpinless 12" x 3" Cast Iron Wheel Caster is engineered for heavy-duty performance and durability. This caster is designed to handle the toughest industrial environments with ease. Its kingpinless design minimizes wear and tear, while the cast iron construction ensures robustness and longevity.
This caster is an excellent choice for industrial applications that require both strength and maneuverability. The kingpinless design not only extends the lifespan of the caster but also enhances operational safety by reducing the likelihood of component failure. The cast iron construction ensures that the caster can withstand significant impacts and heavy loads, while the face brake allows for precise control and stability during use. Whether you are upgrading existing equipment or outfitting new machinery, the Albion Casters Value Kingpinless Caster delivers exceptional performance and reliability.
Invest in the Albion Casters Value Kingpinless Caster to enhance the durability and efficiency of your industrial equipment. With its superior construction and advanced features, this caster is designed to meet the demanding needs of high-load environments. Experience unmatched strength and reliability with model 470CA12501SFBB.
This Albion 470CA12501SFBB 12" x 3" Cast Iron Caster — 2800 lb is rated to 2800 lbs per caster. Size a set by dividing the total load by the number of casters, and for uneven floors assume 3 of 4 casters carry the load. Keep continuous-use loads within about 75-80% of the rating.
This caster runs a Cast Iron wheel with a 3" tread width. Steel / iron wheels give maximum capacity and durability on smooth, hard industrial floors and tolerate heat.
This caster uses a top-plate mount with a 5-1/4" x 7-1/4" plate and a 3-3/8" x 5-1/4" slotted to 4-1/8" x 6-1/8" bolt pattern. Measure your existing mounting holes before ordering; if you are replacing casters, match the bolt pattern - most standard patterns interchange across brands.
This is a Swivel with Face Contact Brake caster with a wheel brake. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for full maneuverability. The brake locks the wheel to hold the load in place. For most mobile equipment we recommend 2 swivel + 2 rigid, or 4 swivel with at least 2 brakes.
Rated for -20°F to 180°F. Operating outside the rated range can reduce wheel life and load capacity, so match it to your environment (wash-down, freezer, oven-adjacent, etc.).
The Cast Iron wheel performs best on smooth, hard industrial floors. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.
The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 15.5". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.
We accept purchase orders and offer Net 30 on approved accounts, ACH, and all major cards, plus tax-exempt ordering with a resale or exemption certificate. Volume discounts apply automatically; request a bulk quote for large or recurring orders. Stock items carry a 30-day return policy in unused condition (made-to-order items are non-returnable once production starts).
Application guidance for load margin, wheel materials, and swivel construction. Confirm ratings against your duty cycle, floor, and temperature before final spec.
Start with total system weight (payload + structure + fixtures), divide by casters that actually share the load, and keep continuous working load per caster at or below roughly 75% of catalog capacity (~25% margin). Heavy-duty kingpinless frames are often used on uneven floors, docks, and towed trains where dynamic load transfer is common — do not assume perfect four-caster share. If impact, drop-offs, or shock loading is expected, treat the margin as a floor, not a stretch goal, and confirm capacity at the wheel diameter and tread you select on this PDP. Dynamic and side loads are separate from static catalog ratings; call out towing or AGV duty when you quote so we can sanity-check the configuration.
Stay with polyurethane when floors are relatively smooth, temperatures stay inside the PU service window, and you want floor protection plus rollability. Move to phenolic, glass-filled nylon, or other high-temp / high-hardness options when heat, certain chemicals, or very high point loads push past what standard PU can sustain. Kingpinless construction solves swivel durability under thrust; it does not raise the wheel’s temperature or chemical limit. Use the wheel material and temperature fields on this product (and sibling SKUs) to match the environment — heat duty and side-thrust duty are independent selection axes.
Kingpin swivels concentrate clamping and much of the axial stack through one pin. Towing hitches, AGV corrections, and side scrub introduce lateral and moment loads that work that pin and the race faces harder than hand-pushed carts. Typical early wear modes include kingpin stretch or hole elongation, race brinelling, and increasing swivel play. Kingpinless designs replace that single-pin stack with a machined or forged raceway that carries thrust through the race path, which is why they are the usual spec for powered towing and higher side-load industrial carts. Pair kingpinless swivels with a wheel and bearing package rated for the same duty — the swivel upgrade alone does not fix an undersized tread or bearing.
