The below capacity ranges indicate the working (dynamic) load that each caster will support. A safety factor should be included in your formula to determine your required load rating per caster.

W/(C-1)=R W is total weight needed to move. C is total number of casters required. R is ideal load rating, with safety factor built in. Divide the total load weight by one less caster than you will use to safely determine load rating.

6" x 2" Polyurethane Casters

Diameter: 6, 8 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 2,000 lb

Polyurethane casters here serve warehouse carts on epoxy and smooth concrete. Expect wheel diameters 6, 8 in, polyurethane treads, and plate-mount frames. Match bolt-hole spacing or stem diameter to the frame before you standardize a fleet. Bring plate and stem measurements when replacing unmarked casters so the new corners sit level. These heavy-duty options cover everyday warehouse carts on epoxy and smooth concrete without jumping to extreme forged series.

Heavy Service Caster Series with DuraGlide Polyurethane Wheels

For extra heavy loads requiring excellent rollability, higher speeds, and/or outdoor use, Hamilton’s new DuraGlide and Super DuraGlide are an excellent choice. 1”- 3” thick 95A tread offerings of dynamically responsive polyurethane that rolls up to 40% easier than most other poly wheels. Engineers also formulated DuraGlide to run much cooler than most polyurethanes resulting in an excellent wheel for higher speed applications.

DuraGlide is also essentially impervious to moisture and our top poly performer in moist or outdoor applications. DuraGlide’s thicker tread also reduces heat stress on the bond line. And because there’s more polyurethane to compress, the psi pressure is lower and therefore the urethane endures less stress fatigue for longer life. DuraGlide is medium gray poly molded to heavy duty black cast iron or forged steel centers.
