Hamilton UMD Ultra Maxi-Duty Casters

Hamilton's Ultra Maxi-Duty feature a load rating of up to 40,000 lbs. per caster, representing one of the highest capacity production caster series on the market today. When designing these heavy-duty casters, Hamilton's engineers built the series from the ground up with one task in mind – developing the most durable 40,000 lb. caster possible. This makes the UMD ideal for extremely heavy-duty applications such as shipbuilding, military, aerospace, and moving any other immense loads.
