The Carrymaster ALC series is a medium-duty swivel leveling caster that combines a caster and a leveler in one unit. The equipment rolls into place on the wheel, then the leveler lowers an aluminum foot that takes the load off the wheel and holds the equipment still.
The series has two flange-mount models, both rated 2,205 lbs per caster: the ALC-1000FB, with a single wheel and a wheel brake, and the ALCT-1000F, with twin wheels. Frames are die-cast aluminum (ALDC12) with an ivory powder-coated finish, the foot is nickel-finished aluminum, and the wheels are black PA6.
| Model | Load per caster | Wheel | Flange plate | Listed height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALC-1000FB | 2,205 lbs | Single PA6 wheel with wheel brake | 3.74 x 3.74 in plate, 2.76 x 2.76 in holes, 0.37 in hole | 4.33 in | 4.54 lb |
| ALCT-1000F | 2,205 lbs | Twin PA6 wheels, no brake | 3.74 x 3.74 in plate, 2.76 x 2.76 in holes, 0.37 in hole | 4.29 in | 4.14 lb |
Both models share the same rating and the same flange plate, so the choice comes down to the brake or the twin wheels. Full dimensions are on each product page, with downloadable product diagrams in DWG, PDF and STP formats and a printable cut sheet.
The ALC series is recommended for frames built from aluminum profile, automation equipment, semiconductor equipment, displays and conveyors, and other medium-duty equipment that is moved into place and then stands on its feet.
For other ratings and stem mounts, see the AC series and the full leveling casters range. ALC casters are priced and sold per caster. To match an ALC caster to your equipment, call our Casters and Wheels Experts at (973) 777-4922.
A. The ALC-1000FB has a single wheel with a wheel brake; the ALCT-1000F has twin wheels and no brake. Both are rated 2,205 lbs per caster and share the same 3.74 x 3.74 in flange plate.
The ALC-1000FB weighs 4.54 lb with a listed height of 4.33 in, and the ALCT-1000F 4.14 lb with a listed height of 4.29 in.
A. A leveling caster. Both product pages list an aluminum foot among the parts, and both are titled as leveling casters.
The ALC-1000FB is also the only leveling caster in the Carrymaster range with a wheel brake.
A. The plate and the hole pattern match: 3.74 x 3.74 in with a 2.76 x 2.76 in pattern on the ALC-1000FB, ALCT-1000F and AC-1300F, and all three are rated 2,205 lbs per caster.
The hole is smaller on the ALC models, 0.37 in against 0.43 in, so check your bolts. The listed height is also lower: 4.33 in (ALC-1000FB) and 4.29 in (ALCT-1000F) against 4.76 in for the AC-1300F.
A. The wheel brake on the ALC-1000FB can hold the wheel while the equipment is being positioned, before the feet are lowered. Once the feet are down, the equipment stands on its feet rather than its wheels.
The product page lists the brake as zinc; it does not describe the mechanism further.
A. No. Both ALC models are flange mount only.
If you need a stem-mount leveling caster at 2,205 lbs per caster, the AC-1300S has an M16 x 2.00 mm stem and the same rating.
A. Aluminum with a nickel finish, on both models.
That differs from the NBR foot on the smaller AC models and the NBR and urethane foot on the ACP and ACT series. The foot is not sold separately; it comes fitted to the caster.
A. The AC-1300F and AC-1300S are rated 2,205 lbs per caster, the same as the ALC models.
Above that, the AC-1800F is rated 3,307 lbs per caster, the highest in the Carrymaster range.
A. No replacement wheel is listed for the ALC-1000FB or the ALCT-1000F in our Wheels and Parts category.
If an ALC wheel is worn, call us at (973) 777-4922 before you order.
A. Yes. Both ALC product pages point to downloadable product diagrams in DWG, PDF and STP formats in our Resources section, and both link a printable cut sheet in PDF.
The product pages also list the weight, the overall dimensions and the plate size and hole pattern.
A. Work out the required capacity per caster: the total weight, including what the equipment carries, divided by 3 for a four-caster set on a real floor, times a safety factor. Our guide to caster load capacity ranges shows how.
Each ALC caster is rated 2,205 lbs. Whether to use braked ALC-1000FB casters on some corners and ALCT-1000F casters on others is a call we can help with at (973) 777-4922.
