As reported by Albion Casters<\/em> in the article \u201c16 Series: Thicker Kingpin and Longer Life\u201d<\/em>, the newly upgraded USA-made Albion 16 Series casters now come standard with a \u00be-inch thick kingpin, delivering a 40% increase in life expectancy over previous models and top imported competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This enhancement marks a significant step forward for customers who need industrial casters that withstand heavy usage and demanding conditions. The increased kingpin thickness from \u215d\u201d to \u00be\u201d offers more strength at the swivel point, reducing wear and extending the operational lifespan of the caster rig. That means fewer replacements, longer-lasting equipment, and greater peace of mind for high-stress environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
