Caster Concepts unveils line of spring-loaded aluminum casters ideal for the automotive, ground supp

Caster Concepts Inc. launches a line of industrial aluminum casters.

ALBION, MI ¬– While most casters call for the might of steel and iron, at Caster Concepts Inc., we know that a great solution to moving and maneuvering heavy loads often requires the light touch of aluminum.

Spring-loaded aluminum MS Casters offer unmatched performance and durability for challenging applications found in aerospace assembly, ground support activity, and the manufacturing of cars, trucks and SUVs.
Despite being lightweight, MS aluminum casters support weight capacities of up to 25,000 pounds with dual-wheel offerings. These corrosion-resistant, durable casters are ideal for luggage carts, cargo haulers and aircraft maintenance stands.


MS Casters absorb shock and vibration, reducing the risk of employee injury due to jarring and juddering. All MS Casters have a linear suspension system, which achieves optimal shock reduction and drastically reduces shimmy, dynamic bounce and resonance when the cart is empty or loaded beyond its rated capacity.

Dual-wheel offerings feature an independent suspension that reacts to an obstruction on one wheel with little to no impact on the other wheel. This is due to each wheel having its own dual-wheel offerings with independent suspension that reacts to an obstruction, creating little to no impact on the other wheel. They’re also tough: resistant to extreme temperatures, water and precipitation.

We can’t imagine a better caster for moving precious cargo on a tarmac or wheeling the next rocket into place.

“Because the manufacturing process is highly specialized, Caster Concepts is the sole producer of aluminum casters for heavy industrial use,” said Bill Dobbins, president of Caster Concepts. “We are fortunate to have the high-quality tools, materials, and talent to be able to design and manufacture these casters for our customers who need a level of quality that goes far beyond standard.”

Whether you need a particular mounting style, wheel material or brake configuration, you can find it. Each MS Caster is custom built and uniquely designed for specific applications and load capacities. And as casters go, they’re also rather good-looking, especially when matched with a colorful array of made-to-order polyurethane wheels. They’re also available with rubber and pneumatic wheels.

Supply chain groups push back on Trump tariff plan

Industry groups across the spectrum of supply chain operations today are pushing back against the Trump Administration plan to apply steep tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, saying the additional fees are taxes that will undermine their profit margins, slow their economic investments, and raise prices for consumers.

Even as a last-minute deal today appeared to delay the tariff on Mexico, that deal is set to last only one month, and tariffs on the other two countries are still set to go into effect at midnight tonight.

U.S. manufacturers scramble to avoid pain of tariff war

Businesses are scrambling today to insulate their supply chains from the impacts of a trade war being launched by the Trump Administration, which is planning to erect high tariff walls on Tuesday against goods imported from Canada, Mexico, and China.

Tariffs are import taxes paid by American companies and collected by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Agency as goods produced in certain countries cross borders into the U.S.

Average container transit time in Q4 climbed from 60 days to 68 days

Businesses dependent on ocean freight are facing shipping delays due to volatile conditions, as the global average trip for ocean shipments climbed to 68 days in the fourth quarter compared to 60 days for that same quarter a year ago, counting time elapsed from initial booking to clearing the gate at the final port, according to E2open.

Those extended transit times and booking delays are the ripple effects of ongoing turmoil at key ports that is being caused by geopolitical tensions, labor shortages, and port congestion, Dallas-based E2open said in its quarterly “Ocean Shipping Index” report.

North American manufacturers embrace “factory of the future”

Manufacturing enterprises in North America are breaking with tradition to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) as they seek to compete amid new technologies, consumer demands, and economic shifts, according to a report from the research and advisory firm Information Services Group (ISG).

That changing landscape is forcing companies to adapt or replace their traditional approaches to product design and production. Specifically, many are changing the way they run factories by optimizing supply chains, increasing sustainability, and integrating after-sales services into their business models.

Women hold only 12% of transportation and storage jobs worldwide

Women are significantly underrepresented in the global transport sector workforce, comprising only 12% of transportation and storage workers worldwide as they face hurdles such as unfavorable workplace policies and significant gender gaps in operational, technical and leadership roles, a study from the World Bank Group shows.

This underrepresentation limits diverse perspectives in service design and decision-making, negatively affects businesses and undermines economic growth, according to the report, “Addressing Barriers to Women’s Participation in Transport.” The paper—which covers global trends and provides in-depth analysis of the women’s role in the transport sector in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA)—was prepared jointly by the World Bank Group, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), the European Investment Bank (EIB), and the International Transport Forum (ITF).
