This collection holds Low Profile casters with polyurethane, ergonomic polyurethane and Duralast polyurethane wheels, built for heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 700 to 16,000 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 2 up to 8 inches in diameter with 2 to 3 in tread widths. The collection includes swivel and rigid models. Dual wheel casters split the load over two wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Ergonomic polyurethane wheels are made to lower push effort, which helps workers move heavy carts by hand. Duralast polyurethane treads are quiet, protect floors, and carry heavy loads with low rolling effort. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing Hamilton low profile casters

  1. Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 2,700 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 8,100 lb, and the 10,000 lb top rating covers about 30,000 lb.
  2. Mount: most Hamilton low profile casters use a 2-1/2 x 3-5/8 in top plate; 6-1/4 x 6-1/2 in and 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 in plates are listed too; match the bolt holes on your frame to the plate before ordering.
  3. Floor: on Hamilton low profile casters, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon, phenolic, steel, polyolefin and cast iron roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: rigid and swivel Hamilton low profile casters are listed.
  5. Heat: among Hamilton low profile casters, the highest listed range is -40°F to 320°F on steel; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
