Ranges from product fields on this page [S2]. Each family has its own rating and temperature, so check the listing.
In the titles here, S- marks a swivel caster and R- a rigid one, followed by the rig series and the wheel code, for example S-WH-6NYB or R-FM-83GB95 [S2]. If the old caster still carries its stamp, search that number first. If not, measure the plate, wheel diameter and tread width, and note the rig height.
Browse by type: heavy duty casters, polyurethane casters and metal wheels.
Hamilton Caster is based in Hamilton, Ohio, where it has built casters since 1907, and it manufactures in the USA.
Several dual wheel and large polyurethane and Nylast casters are listed at 40,000 lb per caster.
S marks a swivel caster and R a rigid caster. The letters after them name the rig series and wheel.
Polyurethane is quiet and kind to concrete. Cast iron and forged steel roll easier under very heavy loads but are loud and harder on the floor.
Lead time on Hamilton casters depends on the model: Hamilton builds many of them to order, typically 4 to 6 weeks, and the ones it stocks for Pronto Ship go out faster.
