Albion,
The Ergonomic Professionals
Albion knows ergonomics.
For more than 50
years Albion Industries,
Inc. has been committed
to easing the load
of moving products
through your facility.
Long before ergonomics
was popular, Albion
was developing casters
and wheels to reduce
fatigue, reduce repetitive
motion and improve
productivity.
Albion has accelerated
efforts to develop
casters that ease
the effort needed
to start a cart in
motion or swivel while
in operation. Also,
Ablion explores the
latest materials technologies
to deliver wheels
that offer the best
performance and the
best ergonomic qualities.
Leading the way in
Albion’s efforts
toward ergonomic excellence
is the zero-maintenance
18 Series, P2 Series
and 03 Series casters.
These casters reduce
the effort needed
to bring a caster
in line by over 30%
in contrast to standard
dual ball raceway
construction. Plus
the sealed precision
bearing in the swivel
reduces noise by 15%
compared to standard
construction. Add
in the zero maintenance
and you’ve got
a product certain
to improve your bottom
line and reduce repetitive
strain on your employees.
Albion Ergonomic
Casters:
- Easy to start
rolling
- Easy to keep rolling
- Easy to maneuver
- Quiet operating
- Minimum operator
fatigue
- Reduces maintenance
- Improves productivity
