This collection holds Textile Casters with phenolic, metal and polyurethane wheels, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 350 to 1,250 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 4 up to 8 inches in diameter with a 2 in tread width. The collection includes swivel and rigid models. Phenolic rolls easily on smooth floors and handles dry heat, oil, and grease, but it is not made for water or washdown. It suits warehouse carts, toolboxes, and tool carts, and it is loud on rough floors. Metal wheels roll with low effort and handle debris and heat. They are loud and can mark finished floors. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Phenolic aisle: phenolic casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing Hamilton textile casters

Mount: most Hamilton textile casters use a 4 x 4-1/2 in top plate; measure bolt hole centers on the old plate and compare.
Floor: on Hamilton textile casters, rubber and polyurethane are kinder to tile and finished floors; phenolic, cast iron and polyolefin roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel and rigid Hamilton textile casters are listed.
Heat: among Hamilton textile casters, the highest listed range is -40°F to 320°F on cast iron; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
