(Ten Series Available)
Premium forged steel casters with guaranteed for life integral forged kingpin and CNC-machined raceways and precision tapered secondary load bearing.
Maxi-Duty Casters --Capacities up to 20,000 lbs.
Move up to 10 tons on Maxi-Duty Casters, designed and built for the toughest applications including shipbuilding, manufactured housing, automotive and aerospace. Long life and dependable service are assured with Hamilton's premium forged steel swivel construction. All forged steel wheels are machined with a slight crown to enhance rollability and swiveling.
Prec. Super Duty Casters --Capacities up to 5,000 lbs.
The distinctive feature of these drop forged steel Precision Super Duty Casters is that both the secondary thrust bearing and main load bearing are precision-type, self-contained unit bearings for smoother swiveling under demanding loads. All forged steel wheels are machined with a slight crown to improve rollability and swiveling.
The term "precision" indicates that both the secondary thrust bearing and the main load bearing are precision-made, self-contained unit bearings - a design rarity in the commercial caster marketplace. It is not meant to imply that other caster dimensions are held to closer tolerances than normal in the industry.
Extra Heavy Duty Casters --Capacities up to 4,000 lbs.
Hamilton's popular Extra Heavy Duty Casters are widely recognized for their superior performance, wide selection, and reliable service. The EHD's extra thick hot forgings, guaranteed-for-life integrally forged kingpin and precision tapered thrust bearing combine to defy comparison. Yet high volume enables us to price these superior products among the lowest priced casters in their class. Also available in a dual-wheeled version.
Champion Casters --Capacities up to 3,500 lbs.
Named after a caster introduced in the 1950's, Hamilton's Champion Casters will be recognized for their superior performance, wide selection, and reliable service. As with all Hamilton Forged Steel Casters, the Champion's 1" integrally forged steel kingpin is guaranteed for life.
Advanced Duty Casters --Capacities up to 2,600 lbs.
Advanced Duty Casters are distinguished by the "ears" of the horn base that provide a generous welding area for the husky legs and allow for lower overall heights. They feature a precision tapered thrust bearing and guaranteed-for-life integrally forged kingpin.
Extended Service Casters--Capacities up to 2,400 lbs.
When grueling loads and continuous operations exist, Hamilton's Extended Service Casters with standard heat-treated raceways extend caster life. This makes Series ES Casters an excellent choice for use on in-plant trailers, towline carts or AGV systems. Features integrally forged steel kingpin - guaranteed for life.
ForgeMaster Casters --Capacities up to 2,200 lbs.
Hamilton's ForgeMaster™ Casters were designed to match popular industry mounting plate, bolt hole and overall height specifications. However, the precision tapered thrust bearing and guaranteed-for-life integrally forged kingpin design make it superior to the double ball race casters in its class.
Heavy Service Casters --Capacities up to 2,000 lbs.
Hamilton's ForgeMaster™ Casters were designed to match popular industry mounting plate, bolt hole and overall height specifications. However, the precision tapered thrust bearing and guaranteed-for-life integrally forged kingpin design make it superior to the double ball race casters in its class.
Workhorse Casters --Capacities up to 2,000 lbs.
The Workhorse combines the forged steel strength of Hamilton's HS Caster Series and the bolt hole pattern of the Standard Duty 52 Series. The drop forged steel swivel caster construction includes a 3/4" diameter integrally forged steel kingpin (guaranteed for life!), and a precision secondary load bearing.
When your application is too tough for the Standard Duty 52 Series, but you need to match its specifications, Workhorse is up to the challenge.
Spring Loaded Casters --floating axle cushions load, quiet operation
Hamilton's newly available shock absorbing casters are built on the proven and reliable Champion, Workhorse and Heavy Service swivel caster platforms. This means you have lots of flexibility if you need to match an existing bolt hole pattern or a specific capacity range. The unique and simple design enables Hamilton to offer these at extremely competitive prices.
