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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the load capacity of this caster?+
This Hamilton S-MD-84FVH 8"x4" Forged Steel Swivel Caster – 1 1/2" Roller Bearing is rated to 6500 lbs per caster. Size a set by dividing the total load by the number of casters, and for uneven floors assume 3 of 4 casters carry the load. Keep continuous-use loads within about 75-80% of the rating.
What wheel does this caster use?+
This caster runs a Steel wheel with a 4" tread width. Steel / iron wheels give maximum capacity and durability on smooth, hard industrial floors and tolerate heat.
What plate size and bolt pattern does it use?+
This caster uses a top-plate mount with a 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" plate and a 7" x 7" bolt pattern. Measure your existing mounting holes before ordering; if you are replacing casters, match the bolt pattern - most standard patterns interchange across brands.
Is this a swivel or rigid caster, and how does the brake work?+
This is a Swivel caster. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for full maneuverability. For most mobile equipment we recommend 2 swivel + 2 rigid, or 4 swivel with at least 2 brakes.
What temperature range can this caster handle?+
Rated for -30°F to 320°F. Operating outside the rated range can reduce wheel life and load capacity, so match it to your environment (wash-down, freezer, oven-adjacent, etc.).
What floors and applications is it best for?+
The Steel wheel performs best on smooth, hard industrial floors. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.
What is the overall mounted height?+
The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 11". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.
How do I order, and what are the terms?+
We accept purchase orders and offer Net 30 on approved accounts, ACH, and all major cards, plus tax-exempt ordering with a resale or exemption certificate. Volume discounts apply automatically; request a bulk quote for large or recurring orders. Stock items carry a 30-day return policy in unused condition (made-to-order items are non-returnable once production starts).
