The Enhanced Maxi-Duty (EMD2) Series features dual-wheel forged steel wheels for heavy manufacturers who need to boost load capacities without increasing overall height. The forged steel wheels are precision CNC-machined with a slight crown for improved rollability and swiveling, then clear-coated for a beautiful pristine appearance.
A hybrid of Hamilton’s Maxi-Duty and Ultra Maxi-Duty lines, the new EMD2 series packs a small mounting plate paired with a massive swivel construction. The common mounting plate size (8.5 x 8.5 in.) makes it easy to swap out existing casters with EMD2.
The mounting plate is 5/8-in. thick joined with a 1-in. thick swivel base. The legs are 3/4-in. thick and welded continuously inside and outside the swivel base. The main load-bearing is an immense 7-in. diameter thrust ball bearing while the secondary load bearing is a 1-1/4-in. precision tapered roller bearing to counteract radial thrust.
The series is offered in wheel diameters starting from dual 8 x 3 in. wheels rated @ 28,000 lb. up to dual 12 x 4 in. wheels rated @ 40,000 lb.
