Google Searches for Casters. Finds Hamilton

When Google expands its Big Apple footprint, it rolls forward with Hamilton.

The search giant is using our extra heavy-duty rigid casters to crown a New York City stronghold with a swank, state-of-the-art rooftop terrace.

That’s where you’ll find Hamilton.

“These are the heaviest casters I’ve ever seen,” said Wigens Lindor of the Rosenwatch Group, the company crafting the furniture. “We needed weather-resistant wheels durable enough to roll under thousands of pounds and constant stress. Hamilton delivered.”
