If you asked our casters what they dislike most, they would probably give you two answers:
- Clowns
- Anything that gets in their way
While we can’t really go into the first answer, we can tell you about the second one. Hamilton casters were born to ride free. Masks off. Wind in their hair. Conquering rough terrain to keep production humming and ROI flowing for all. That’s why we offer a variety of casters with “built-in stiff arms,” if you will. Some have sweeps and shields designed to make sure nothing stands in the way of customer satisfaction. We’ve also got toe guards that maximize safety and minimize workers’ comp claims.
Just where do these caster shine? Common applications include production lines, usage with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) or where casters run on tracks or paths (auto, HVAC). The benefits are legion: uncompromised wheel treads, quieter rides, happier floors and safer employees.
Here’s a rundown of some of Hamilton’s top Heisman heroes.
