These Hamilton super duty casters fit heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 2,200 to 36,800 lb per caster. Wheels are 6 to 18 in single and dual in swivel and rigid models. Dual wheel casters split the load over two wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. Wheel options include polyurethane, nylon, phenolic, and forged steel, so match the tread to the floor and the load. Softer polyurethane or soft rubber or TPR tread is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Heavy duty hub: heavy duty casters. Plate aisle: plate casters.

Choosing Hamilton super duty casters

  1. Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 10,000 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 30,000 lb, and the 27,200 lb top rating covers about 81,600 lb.
  2. Mount: most Hamilton super duty casters use a 8-1/2 x 8-1/2 in top plate; 6-1/2 x 7-1/2 in and 8-1/2 x 10-1/2 in plates are listed too; check the bolt spacing on your frame against the plate size.
  3. Floor: on Hamilton super duty casters, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon, forged steel, phenolic and cast iron roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: rigid and swivel Hamilton super duty casters are listed.
  5. Heat: among Hamilton super duty casters, the highest listed range is -40°F to 320°F on forged steel; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
