The Hamilton Whirlaway Rigid Caster is expertly designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. With a robust 450 lbs load capacity and durable construction, it excels in efficiently handling challenging tasks.
This swivel caster offers enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces, with a 5-inch wheel diameter for stable movement. It boasts a 1.5-inch wide wheel face for durability, a 6.5-inch overall height for varied applications. The caster is finished in bright zinc plating for corrosion resistance and features a strong Aqualite Polyolefin wheel composition.
Ideal for a multitude of industrial and commercial applications, the Hamilton Whirlaway Rigid Caster is a versatile choice for everything from warehouse carts to heavy machinery, ensuring reliability and versatility in various settings.
This Hamilton R-WW-5AZ 5" x 1.5" Polyolefin Rigid Caster – 450 lb is rated to 450 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 Polyolefin wheel with a 1-1/2" tread width. Polyurethane protects finished floors, rolls quietly, and resists most chemicals while carrying heavy loads.
This caster uses a top-plate mount with a 4" x 4-1/2" plate and a 2-5/8" x 3-3/8" slotted to 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 Rigid caster. Rigid casters track straight for directional stability. For most mobile equipment we recommend 2 swivel + 2 rigid, or 4 swivel with at least 2 brakes.
Rated for -20°F to 180°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 Polyolefin wheel performs best on smooth to semi-smooth floors including sealed concrete, tile, and epoxy. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.
The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 6.5". 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).
