All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.
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.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.
The Hamilton Workhorse WH Series is one of the most widely-specified industrial caster lines in North America — up to 2,000 lb per caster, built on the proven Workhorse rigging that put Hamilton's name on plant floors for decades. When buyers say 'a good solid industrial caster,' this is often what they mean.



























































Hamilton has built the Workhorse line long enough that it's become a reference point — the caster other casters get compared to in the medium-heavy range. The rigging is forged and proven, the swivel is smooth and durable, and the capacity (to 2,000 lb) covers the bulk of real industrial carts and equipment. It's not the cheapest line or the heaviest; it's the one with the track record.
The WH Series runs Hamilton's full wheel bench — Plastex phenolic, polyurethane compounds, rubber, forged steel — so you can match the floor and duty without leaving the line. Standard plate and stem mounts. Capacity to 2,000 lb makes it the default for heavy carts, work platforms, and light machine bases.
