New Heavy-Duty Ground Support Casters Hit the Tarmac
Friday, Aug 30, 2013
While most Hamilton wheels call the factory floor “home,” our newest ground support casters prefer the great outdoors.
Rated up to 8,400 lbs. each, our dual-wheel, solid pneumatic casters thrive on tarmac and rough terrain. For aerospace, military and manufacturing industries that depend on moving product from one nearby facility to another, these rugged wheels provide the perfect solution.
And, despite a 25” wheel size, they still run low to the ground for a smooth, cushioned ride.
On the Ground, Airplane Wings Ride on Hamilton
Our ground support casters recently passed muster in one of the most demanding industries, when Howard Carlson of Atlanta Caster sold eight similar models to a major aerospace manufacturer.
The 25” dual-wheel, full pneumatic casters (four swivel and four riding) haul 24,000-lb. aircraft loads across multiple manufacturing hubs. With high shock absorption, they easily (but slowly, at less than 3 mph) move the delicate payloads across the tarmac that separates each facility.
