  • MRO carts on rough concrete

Engineer Tip — Jordan Wilson

I spec Albion HD Raceway when the customer needs heavy capacity with hardened raceways that survive shock loading. The 272CA03101S earns its place when rough concrete and shock loading are the controlling spec. Pair 3-1" 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.

FAQs

What does the Albion part number 272CA03101S mean?

Albion encodes its part numbers by series, wheel material, wheel diameter, plate size, bearing type, and mount style. The 272CA03101S is decoded by your CasterHQ engineer at order time — call us at 844-439-4335 for a full breakdown.

What is the load capacity of the 272CA03101S?

800 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.

Will the 272CA03101S work on rough concrete?

Yes for cast iron and steel wheels. 3-1" diameter rolls over expansion joints and seams cleanly. For polished or epoxy floors, ask us about poly-on-iron or thermoplastic options.

Is the 272CA03101S made in the USA?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the load capacity of this caster?+

This Albion 272CA03101S 3-1" x 4-1" Cast Iron Caster — 800 lb is rated to 800 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.

What wheel does this caster use?+

This caster runs a Cast Iron wheel with a 4-1/2" tread width. Steel / iron wheels give maximum capacity and durability on smooth, hard industrial floors and tolerate heat.

What plate size and bolt pattern does it use?+

This caster uses a top-plate mount with a 4-1/2" x 6-1/4" plate and a 2-7/16" x 4-15/16" slotted to 3-3/8" x 5-1/4" bolt pattern. Measure your existing mounting holes before ordering; if you are replacing casters, match the bolt pattern - most standard patterns interchange across brands.

What temperature range can this caster handle?+

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.).

What floors and applications is it best for?+

The Cast Iron wheel performs best on smooth, hard industrial floors. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.

What is the overall mounted height?+

The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 5.25". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.

How do I order, and what are the terms?+

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).
