Product Identity

The Albion Inc. 26Y401 is a polyolefin caster wheel built for wheelbarrows and utility carts. Its 280 lb load rating suits light-duty material handling on hard surfaces. Non-marking tread protects finished floors while the aluminium core resists corrosion. This component fits equipment requiring a 5/16 in axle diameter.

Thermal Noise Power

The solid polyolefin tread generates no fan noise and draws no electrical power during operation. Rolling resistance stays consistent because the 65 Shore D hardness does not soften under normal ambient temperatures. No thermal management is required for this passive mechanical part.

Deciding Specification

The 280 lb load rating is the single figure that determines fit; exceeding it risks wheel failure. Buyers needing higher capacity must select a different wheel. The 5/16 in axle bore and 1 1/2 in hub length must match the existing fork or bracket exactly.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5/16 in axle on this caster wheel and what step is often missed?

Slide the 5/16 in axle through the 1 1/2 in hub; the wheel has no spanner bushing included, so do not wait for one — mount it directly.

What part of this 280 lb polyolefin wheel will wear first and need replacement?

The 65 Shore D tread resists flattening, but under heavy loads the plain bore can elongate; replace the wheel when the bore slack exceeds a few millimetres.

At what point does the 280 lb rating become the limiting factor during sustained use?

The 280 lb load rating is the hard ceiling; running continuously at or above that weight will accelerate bore wear and tread compression before any other limit appears.
