Hamilton triple threat image

It’s a triple threat of Hamilton casters

Listen to this article

Good things come in threes: The Three Stooges Three-point shots. Three Times A Lady. Also: This beast of a triple caster Hamilton designed for an engineering design firm. Each 21-inch wheel is impressive in its own right. But when banded thrice together to support four corners of an 80,000-pound movable assembly, it’s a threesome worthy of Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra combined.

The assembled structure itself (see illustration to the right) is cumbersome. The customer needed to make it mobile at speeds up to 3 mph to travel through various docks and concrete roadways around an outdoor shipyard. So we added the three-wheel concept to provide maximum footprint and load distribution. And to stand up to the small dips, potholes, and other unfriendly outdoor surfaces along the way, we chose solid pneumatic tires for extra cushion and shock absorption. We also applied a two-part marine grade epoxy finish to the assemblies to tackle the elements without incident. There’s even a parking brake to make sure everything stays put when we want it to.

Because every threesome needs a safe word.
