Heavy Duty Casters Wheels
Heavy duty casters are used to move heavy pieces of equipment. They are often used in manufacturing plants, food service plants, and in industrial warehouses. Some of the more common uses include automotive assembly lines, drill presses, and mobile workbench carts.
How much weight can a wheel take?
Generally, these heavy duty casters wheels have a zinc-plated finish and include double ball bearing raceways. This allows for smooth swiveling action and added strength. In addition, they come in a variety of wheel options, depending on the application. There are several different materials used to make caster wheels. You can select a caster wheel made of polyurethane, nylon, cast iron, or semi-steel. The type of material your caster is made of will have a positive impact on its performance.
Hamilton Caster is a family owned business that has been in business since 1907. Their fourth generation is as committed to quality as their founder, John Weigel. Currently, they manufacture custom-engineered heavy duty casters.
These casters are ideal for heavy loads and are designed to provide greater safety and stability. Since they are built to handle larger weights, they can increase productivity and performance.
Heavy duty casters are made from 1045 steel. This is a high carbon steel that offers durability and maximum weight capacity. They also feature a slight crown to enhance swiveling.
When choosing a caster, you must first measure the total weight of your heavy equipment. Divide this amount by the number of casters you need. That will determine the casters’ load rating.
