Choosing Hamilton aerospace casters

Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 2,400 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 7,200 lb, and the 2,775 lb top rating covers about 8,325 lb.
Mount: most Hamilton aerospace casters use a 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 in top plate; 4 x 4-1/2 in and 4 x 5 in plates are listed too; check the bolt spacing on your frame against the plate size.
Floor: on Hamilton aerospace casters, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon, cast iron and steel roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel and rigid Hamilton aerospace casters are listed.
Heat: among Hamilton aerospace casters, the highest listed range is -40°F to 320°F on cast iron; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
