ForgeMaster- Casters
Series FM - Cap. to 2,200 lbs.

#S-FM-8PH Swivel w/ Plastex Wheel


#R-FM-8MH Rigid w/ Metal Wheel

Hamilton's ForgeMaster™ Casters were designed to match popular industry mounting plate, bolt hole and overall height specifications. However, the precision tapered thrust bearing and guaranteed-for-life integrally forged kingpin design make it superior to the double ball race casters in its class.


OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Swivel Lock– 4 Position (-4SL)
–convert swivel to rigid for straight line steering, robotically welded housing & CNC-milled slots assure long lasting, trouble-free performance

Sealed Swivel Assembly (-SS)
–prolongs caster life in harsh environments, not available with swivel lock.

Wheel Bearing Seals (-BS)
