When it comes to combining high-heat resilience with unparalleled mobility, Hamilton's S-WHK-6HNY from the WHK Inferno Series stands out. Dive deeper into what makes this caster a game-changer for industries dealing with elevated temperatures.
Crafted to handle the extremes, the Scorcher Wheel is a testament to Hamilton's dedication to quality. Designed for challenging environments, this wheel promises not just heat resistance but also long-lasting performance.
Most casters falter when faced with high temperatures. Not the S-WHK-6HNY. With a staggering rating of up to 550° F, it is designed to navigate environments most casters can't endure.
A caster's performance hinges on its bearings. With a 1/2" roller bearing coupled with high heat grease, expect consistent, smooth movements regardless of the temperature. It's the secret behind the caster's high-load bearing capacity and seamless swiveling action.
The WHK Inferno Series encapsulates Hamilton's dedication to industry-leading innovation. Every caster in this series is a product of rigorous research, ensuring they meet the demands of industries where heat is a constant challenge.
With the S-WHK-6HNY Hamilton High Heat WHK Inferno Series Swivel Caster, you're not just investing in a caster; you're ensuring that your operations remain smooth, efficient, and uncompromised, even in high-temperature scenarios. It's time to redefine mobility in high-heat settings. Choose Hamilton.
This Hamilton S-WHK-6HNY 6" x 2" Scorcher Swivel Caster – 550° F is rated to 1000 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 550°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 7-1/2". 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).
