Hamilton Heat-Resistant Standard Plate Caster: 8 in Wheel Dia., 1040 lb, 10 1/4 in Mounting Ht, A

Heat-resistant extra-heavy-duty and super-duty standard plate casters have steel or iron wheels that can withstand very high temperatures up to 750°F. The casters' forged steel frames, tapered roller thrust bearings, and forged steel kingpins allow them to bear heavier loads, tolerate more frequent use, and withstand more shock and impact from rolling over rough or uneven terrain than light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty standard plate casters. The casters are installed onto the bottom of heavy industrial equipment that will be used in high-temperature environments like autoclaves, kilns, and process finishing ovens to allow the equipment to roll or be repositioned. Heat-resistant extra-heavy-duty and super-duty standard plate casters are suitable for industrial applications such as heavy manufacturing, energy and aerospace industries, and steel mills.

Standard plate casters have kingpins that securely join the casters' mounting plates to their frames. They are used in nearly every industry and are the most common type of caster used for general purpose applications. The casters' mounting plates install onto the bottom of machinery, carts, or other equipment, and the casters allow the equipment to roll to reduce effort when moving or repositioning it. These casters are available in swivel and rigid versions. The swivel casters can rotate 360°, allowing equipment to change directions while rolling. The rigid casters roll in a straight line. Two rigid plate casters will often be paired with two swivel casters to allow the equipment to both maneuver around curves and obstacles and maintain a straight course while rolling.
