You will see wheel diameters 5, 6, 8, 10 in, polyurethane, phenolic, and rubber treads, and capacities 540 to 3,200 lb across the SKUs listed below. Bring plate and stem measurements when replacing unmarked casters so the new corners sit level. Use kingpinless or heavy plate series when shock loads keep shearing kingpin races.

Hamilton's ForgeMaster™ Casters were designed to match popular industry mounting plate, bolt hole and overall height specifications. However, the precision tapered thrust bearing and guaranteed-for-life integrally forged kingpin design make it superior to the double ball race casters in its class.
