Choosing Hamilton kingpinless casters

  1. Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 2,000 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 6,000 lb, and the 4,100 lb top rating covers about 12,300 lb.
  2. Mount: most Hamilton kingpinless casters use a 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 in top plate; 2-1/2 x 3-5/8 in and 4 x 4-1/2 in plates are listed too; check the bolt spacing on your frame against the plate size.
  3. Floor: on Hamilton kingpinless casters, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; cast iron, nylon, phenolic, forged steel and steel roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: rigid and swivel Hamilton kingpinless casters are listed.
  5. Heat: among Hamilton kingpinless casters, the highest listed range is -22°F to 750°F on forged steel; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
