These Hamilton EMD2 dual casters fit heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 22,400 to 36,800 lb per caster. Wheels are 8 to 12 x 3 and 4 forged steel dual in swivel and rigid models. Dual wheel casters split the load over two wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. Ductile steel wheels carry heavy loads and handle impact, debris, and heat. They are loud and will mark finished floors. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Measure the old wheel or caster before you buy. Ductile steel aisle: ductile steel casters. Plate aisle: plate casters.
