Hamilton Extra Heavy Duty EHD for bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors. Typical builds show wheel diameters 6, 8, 10, 12 in, polyurethane, phenolic, and steel treads, and plate-mount frames. Softer treads quiet finished floors; harder compounds last longer on chips, heat, and rough concrete. Use kingpinless or heavy plate series when shock loads keep shearing kingpin races. These heavy-duty options cover everyday bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors without jumping to extreme forged series.

Hamilton Extra Heavy Duty EHD Casters: buying guide

The Hamilton Extra Heavy Duty (EHD) Series is the rigging platform for applications that punish the whole caster — not just heavy load, but impact, drop-loading, and continuous abuse. Up to 5,000 lb per caster, with heavier construction and kingpinless options for the toughest industrial routes.

What 'extra heavy duty' means in the EHD series

EHD isn't just a higher number than heavy-duty — it's tougher construction for a tougher failure mode. Heavy-duty casters are sized for sustained load; the EHD platform is built for sustained load plus impact: drop-loading onto the cart, rough-floor hammering, dock-plate slams, the abuse that cracks lesser rigging. Heavier-gauge construction, kingpinless options, bearings rated for the punishment.

Where EHD is the right call

Stamping and forging operations where dies get dropped onto carts, foundry transfer over rough floors, tow-line trailers that take coupling shock, and any heavy route where the caster takes hits, not just weight. The EHD platform also carries the UltraGlide EHD wheel option when you need premium polyurethane on this tough rigging.

Common questions

EHD vs standard heavy duty?

Heavy duty is sized for sustained load. EHD adds tougher construction for impact, drop-loading, and abuse — the failure mode that cracks lesser rigging.

What's the EHD capacity?

Up to 5,000 lb per caster, with kingpinless options for the heaviest and most impact-prone applications.

Can I get premium wheels on EHD?

Yes — UltraGlide EHD pairs the premium low-rolling-resistance UltraGlide compound with the tough EHD rigging.
