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.

Hamilton's S-WHS-4HNY is not just another swivel caster. It epitomizes precision engineering with an emphasis on durability, high-temperature resistance, and unparalleled performance. Designed for the rigorous demands of high-temperature environments, this caster embodies the Hamilton promise of quality and reliability.
At the heart of the S-WHS-4HNY lies the 4" x 2" Scorcher Wheel. Made with premium materials, this wheel promises not just smooth operations but also durability that withstands the test of time, especially in high-temperature scenarios. Its specialized construction ensures minimal wear and tear, even under intensive use.
Few casters can claim compatibility with high-temperature environments. The S-WHS-4HNY stands out with its resistance of up to 475°F. Whether it's a foundry, bakery, or any other high-temperature workspace, trust this caster to deliver without compromise.
The true strength of any caster lies in its bearings. Our 1/2" Roller Bearing is lubricated with High Heat Grease, ensuring fluid motion and reduced friction, even under high heat conditions. This synergy guarantees a longer lifespan and consistent performance.
Choosing Hamilton means choosing a legacy of excellence. Our dedication to innovation, backed by robust customer support, makes the S-WHS-4HNY Swivel Caster a preferred choice for professionals seeking the best in the industry. Trust Hamilton, where quality meets performance.
This Hamilton S-WHS-4HNY 4" x 2" Scorcher Swivel Stainless Caster – 800 lb is rated to 800 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.
This caster runs a Nylon wheel with a 2" tread width. Nylon resists chemicals and moisture and carries high loads, which suits washdown and wet environments.
This caster uses a top-plate mount with a 4" x 5" plate and a 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" and 3" x 3" bolt pattern. Measure your existing mounting holes before ordering; if you are replacing casters, match the bolt pattern - most standard patterns interchange across brands.
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.
Rated for Up to 475°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.).
The Nylon wheel performs best on smooth, hard industrial floors. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.
The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 5-5/8". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.
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).
