About Hamilton

Hamilton's extensive catalogue includes plate casters, dual wheel casters, pneumatic casters, speciality casters and caster wheels. The brand's caster wheels are ideal for medical equipment, furniture and store fixtures. They feature an unconventional, CNC-machined & hardened upper raceway to ensure a uniform depth and provide vertical load handling capacity. These casters are available in double-sealed precision ball, tapered precision and straight roller bearing variants. Hamilton CH Series plate casters have forged steel frames, tapered roller thrust bearings and forged or welded steel kingpins. They can bear heavier loads, tolerate more frequent use and withstand more shock & impact from rolling over rough or uneven ground than light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty standard plate casters. These casters are installed onto the bottom of dumpsters, trailer frames, die carts and other heavy equipment used in manufacturing plants, construction sites and assembly plants.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Some Hamilton MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Quantum Storage Systems & Proline numbers. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Hamilton products available.

Shipping

These Hamilton products range from small to large sizes. They may require careful packaging as some items might get damaged while shipping. Hence, they are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to determine the minimum capacity needed per caster?

  • Add the weight of the load to be carried and the weight of the cart.
  • Divide that total load by 3.
  • This will give you the minimum rated load capacity per caster.

What wheels are best for rough floors?

Use the largest diameter possible wheel for your application. Larger wheels roll over debris and rough surfaces easily and are also easier to push. Also, consider polyurethane treads or mould-on rubber wheels for resilience and quiet operation.

What is swivel offset?

Swivel offset is the horizontal distance between the vertical centerline of a swivel caster (kingpin) and the wheel. Carts having larger offsets are easier to turn under load but also have reduced load capacity per caster.
