This collection holds Stainless casters with UltraGlide polyurethane, Nylast cast nylon and DuraGlide polyurethane wheels, built for heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 750 to 3,200 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 2 up to 12 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. Triple wheel casters spread the load over three wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. UltraGlide polyurethane wheels are made to start and roll with low push effort, which helps on long pushes. Nylast cast nylon wheels roll easily, resist water and many chemicals, and are hard, so they are loud on rough floors. 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 stainless casters

Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 1,600 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 4,800 lb, and the 3,200 lb top rating covers about 9,600 lb.
Mount: most Hamilton stainless casters use a 2-1/2 x 3-5/8 in top plate; 4 x 5 in and 4 x 4-1/2 in plates are listed too; match the bolt holes on your frame to the plate before ordering.
Floor: on Hamilton stainless casters, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon, stainless steel, polyolefin and phenolic roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel and rigid Hamilton stainless casters are listed.
