Our three-caster Theatrical Tryke™ can achieve capacities of up to 20,000 lbs., but what’s truly remarkable is how easily it moves heavy loads. With its distinctive ergonomic design, minimal force is required to maneuver casters from the lead to the trail position, and more weight can be moved with less effort. It provides a smooth, uninterrupted, free-flowing swivel, allowing heavy cargo to be moved with the push of a finger.

With three casters mounted to a triangular top, the Tryke is fully customizable and can be made with a variety of casters and wheels. In fact, it can be configured in so many ways that almost every one we produce is unique.

The Tryke can be manufactured with Typhoon™, Twister™, or Thrust Bearing heads and our 1900 Series, 5400 Series, or Maxx™ casters. Specific requirements can be accommodated by using a wide variety of wheels and multiple plate combinations. Other options are threaded stems and a positive-lock universal wheel brake added to the forward-facing caster.

A stainless steel Tryke can also be manufactured. The entire unit is produced using work-hardened, electro-polished, de-magnetized and de-burred SAE 304 stainless steel. All bearings, components and welds are in stainless steel. The plate is reinforced with a stress bar to prevent any bending.

The Tryke is produced in our fully integrated manufacturing facility in Toronto and delivers the North American ingenuity and the castersmithing you can only find at Algood. You get a caster made to your specs and backed by our 3-Year No-Excuse Warranty.

Originally designed for studios, stages and staging applications, the Tryke is also ideal for moving heavy loads in warehousing and manufacturing settings. The stainless-steel version is ideal for pharmaceutical, healthcare, food processing, high-tech and other clean environments

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are at the forefront of this movement, streamlining operations and ensuring seamless workflow.

Enter our Hero caster which is exclusively designed for AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) applications. In fact, it was originally developed to meet the needs of Canada’s first fully computerized hospital. AGV applications have unique requirements and the features of our Hero meet all of them.

The Hero is a 6” X 1 1/4” fully stainless steel caster that features a sealed ball bearing in the head locked in with the kingpin.

Because AGV equipment frequently travels on metal tracks, the Hero has been designed with an auto align function. A pivoting ball bearing allows the swivel caster to self lock in both the trail and the lead position. A rigid version of the caster is also available.

Its stainless steel construction, makes Hero suitable for all heathcare, pharmaceutical and technology applications. With a capacity of 500 lbs., it can accommodate all AGV chassis and carts.

These casters are exclusively equipped our Envirothane™ wheels because they are perfect for AGV applications. With a durometer of 65D, Envirothane wheels are durable enough to travel in AGV tracks. At the same time the proprietary urethane compound is but soft enough to be quiet and non marking when in other areas. Envirothane is moisture and chemical resistant allowing it to withstand wash-down environments and its one-piece construction makes it maintenance free.

Hero casters are manufactured in our fully integrated plant in Toronto. That means you get remarkable lead times, delivery dates you can count on and superb North American quality backed by our 3-Year No-Excuse Warranty.

The Hero is perfectly designed for AGV applications, making it unique in the industry.

Stainless Steel: 304 or 316?

1 Like 766 Views

Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion while preventing scaling, and that makes it the ideal solution for casters being used in wet, outdoor, clean and high-temperature environments. Once you’ve decided on stainless steel, you then have the choice of 304 or 316-grade stainless. In this issue of CasterU, we give the information you need to make the right decision.

6809 Series: S6859-A45H-MPU-RB [304 Stainless Steel]

Stainless steel is actually a mixture of steel and a minimum of 10.5% chromium. The chromium keeps the steel from oxidizing, rusting, corroding, and eventually staining, so it really is stain-less.

304-grade Stainless Steel
The most common grade of stainless steel is SAE 304. “SAE” is the Society of Automotive Engineers, the organization that standardizes and designates various grades. 304 Stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. When used in casters, it is:

Work-hardened – steel that becomes stronger and harder through a bending and forming process
Electro-polished – Untreated stainless steel has a very dull look. Because super-clean items are expected to be brilliantly reflective, we electro-polish our stainless steel casters.
De-burred – After being stamped, stainless steel components often have razor-sharp edges that can be a hazard. We de-burr the material to ensure no one gets hurt.
De-magnetized – Stainless steel is often used in laboratories and environments containing sensitive equipment. De-magnetizing minimizes the impact on the surroundings.

Many Algood casters and wheels are available in 304 stainless steel and come with a full range of stainless steel components.

MAXX9 Series: S6559-A38H-NYNW-RB [304 Stainless Steel]

316-Grade Stainless Steel
316 Stainless is made up of 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. There’s a little more nickel and a little less chromium than in 304. However, the big difference is the molybdenum, a chemical element used for the strengthening and hardening of steel. The higher molybdenum content greatly increases the corrosion resistance of 316, providing superior resistance to chlorides and acids.

That makes 316 an ideal upgrade for technology production facilities that require an environment that is free of any contaminants. It’s also ideal for settings with strict hygiene and cleanliness standards, like pharmaceutical, hospitals and healthcare locations. Since sterilization processes in these industries combine both strong disinfectants with high temperatures to prevent contamination, a resistant alloy like 316 is ideal.

Our Maxx9 and 7009 series casters can be produced using 316-grade stainless steel

Other applications for both 304 and 316 stainless steel include:

Chemical processing and storage equipment.
Refinery equipment
Medical devices
Marine environments, especially those with chlorides present
Medical equipment and implants
Foodservice, processing, and preparation environments
Coastal environments
Areas with high salt levels (such as roadways)
Brewing facilities
