U.S.-Manufactured 310 & 410 Casters Meet Heavy-Duty Customer Needs Quicker Than Ever
Colson Group USA has the right ingredients to keep the world moving. Albion, the leading heavy-duty caster brand of Colson Group USA, has made major advancements in its heavy-duty manufacturing capabilities to better meet customers’ product and delivery needs in the U.S. marketplace.
Now manufactured in Michigan, Albion’s 310 & 410 casters are laser cut and can be produced with integrated brakes with toe guards within days – a process that has taken four to six weeks in the past – responding to market needs faster and reducing lead times by as much as 70 percent. Laser production also allows the 310 & 410 more flexibility in quick turnaround customizations, a more diverse standard product offering, and a cleaner more efficient part – eliminating the need for a variety of secondary welding operations.
With an upgraded three-year warranty, the 310 & 410 Series offers a number of competitive advantages and product features compared to conventional kingpin casters:
- Laser cut 3/8” thick legs;
- More ergonomic – easier to swivel, push and pull;
- Weld eliminations for a cleaner part;
- Smoother edges for safety;
- Industry-leading zinc finish with a clear coat;
- Newly designed innovative brakes with toe guards;
- High-quality, heat-treated AISI 1045 laser-cut steel construction featuring a forged precision-machined raceway for improved ergonomics and superior strength;
- Fully welded and durable legs inside and out to handle the shock impact and higher-load capacities traditional casters might not withstand; and
- Greater load capacities of up to 5,400 pounds per caster with easier swiveling.
