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.

8" x 3" Nylon Casters

Diameter: 6, 8 inTread: 3 inCapacity: up to 2,400 lb

Nylon casters here serve chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts. Typical builds show wheel diameters 6, 8 in, nylon treads, and plate-mount frames. For dual-wheel or wide treads, check fork clearance and swivel radius in tight aisles. Replace worn corners in matched sets when possible so the cart tracks straight under load. These heavy-duty options cover everyday chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts without jumping to extreme forged series.

Extended Service Caster Series with Nylast Nylon Wheels

Hamilton's Nylast wheel is made from solid cast high performance nylon. Nylast is of cast nylon, and has superior impact strength and resilience compared to conventional injection-molded nylon wheels. The Hamilton Nylast material is also specially formulated with finely divided particles of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) to enhance its load bearing capability while maintaining the impact resistance inherent to nylon.

Other key properties of Nylast include resistance to moisture and chemicals plus floor protection resulting in a wheel well-suited for corrosive environments or applications where sanitary conditions are important. If the wheel will come in contact with specific chemicals, check out the Nylast Chemical Resistance Chart to learn if the chemicals will play nice with Nylast.
