Series ES & EHS Extended Service Casters

Capacity Range: 1,600 – 2,400 lbs.


When grueling loads and continuous operations exist, Hamilton's Extended Service & Enhanced Heavy Service Casters with HPI™ Swivel Technology are the right choice. Both ES & EHS Series Casters are an excellent choice for use on in-plant trailers, towline carts, or AGV systems. The ES Series features 3" wide wheels and platinum powder coat finish whereas the EHS Series features 2" wide wheels and a red crimson powder coat finish.
