Dual wheel casters for moving heavy loads
Posted by Kit Becker on May 22nd 2015
Heavy duty, dual wheel casters, are used in many applications. In the aerospace industry, three are listed here.
Moving ground support equipment, moving tail stands that allow maintenance to be performed on aircraft, or moving heavy fragile loads.
These Hamilton casters have two, 25” solid pneumatic, 10 ply wheels and each caster is rated at 8,400 pounds. The wheels ride on 1-1/4” tapered bearings that provide a smooth ride on irregular surfaces.
This was the perfect answer, for a cushion ride and shock protection for payloads up to 26,000 lbs., to support a heavy main fuselage structure of aircraft, which is transported to different locations during assembly.
