Hamilton Caster has introduced a line of new industrial wheels, U-Grooved Track Wheels, which are designed for easy rolling along straight or curvy tracks or pipes.
With a capacity range of 1,000–7,000 lbs., U-Groove Wheels are suitable for when working with crane cables or pulleys, or using rolling gates and doors.
The U-Grooved Track Wheels come in standard sizes ranging from 4 to 10-inch diameters in three materials: steel, stainless steel and nylon. This series of wheels offer a variety of groove depths and widths that accommodate a wide range of pipe sizes and track materials. Each wheel is fitted with precision-sealed ball bearings for easy rolling and maintenance-free operation.
Steel U-Grooved Wheels, machined from 1045 steel, are the strongest, most durable of the series, and provides the highest load-bearing capacity.
The Stainless Steel U-Grooves are machined from Type 303 stainless steel. This makes them suitable for harsh, corrosive environments such as chemical and food processing plants, and pharmaceutical operations.
Nylast U-Groove wheels are made from solid cast high-performance nylon, specially formulated with finely divided particles of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to enhance its load-bearing capability while maintaining impact resistance.
