These single flanged track wheels ride on flat rail or angle track for transfer carts, gantries, doors, and rail guided equipment. Wheels in this collection range from 2,000 to 4,750 lb per wheel. Hamilton WFT models in cast iron and forged steel make up the aisle, with roller and tapered bearings. The single flange keeps the wheel on the rail on one side. Use these on rail only, not on open plant floor. Match tread width to the rail head, then match the bore, hub length, and flange height before you order. Forged steel holds up better under shock and heavy repeat loads. Capacities below are per wheel unless a listing says set. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Measure the old wheel or caster before you buy. Track aisle: track wheels. V-groove aisle: v-groove wheels.

Laying out single flange wheels

Each single flange wheel guides on one side of the rail. Set the wheels so the flanges sit on the inside or the outside of both rails, never one of each, or the car will bind. Allow a little side clearance between flange and rail so the car does not climb the rail in curves or uneven track.

Ordering

  • Match the bore to your axle. Bores here include 3/4, 7/8, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 and 1-15/16 in.
  • Match tread width to the rail head and leave room for the flange.
