Hamilton Casters outscored the other major caster manufacturers in every single category! These results are not our opinion; rather they reflect the sentiments of customers like you.
Hamilton Caster was awarded Ohio's highest manufacturing honor-the Governor's Trophy-by a panel of judges in the Ohio Manufacturer's Association Competition, Case Studies in team Excellence. Hamilton's joint labor-management team was recognized for its success as it radically reorganized the swivel caster manufacturing process which resulted in substantal productivity increases and other efficiencies.

Hamilton Casters has a lot of confidence in the quality and endurance of its casters and wheels. We're so confident that we are proud to be the first and only caster manufacturer offering an industry-leading three-year product warranty on most forged steel casters & industrial wheels. Effective on orders placed after January 1, 2004, this guarantees the original purchaser of select Hamilton products a three-year limited warranty from the date of original invoice against manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.

There's no substitute for experience - ours, or yours. Thus reads a Hamilton advertising slogan expressing how experience benefits the user. Today's customers benefit in very real ways from the improvements in designs, materials and manufacturing methods developed during Hamilton's 90+ years in business.

Founder John A. Weigel started Hamilton Casters as a moonlighting venture from his garage in 1907, the same year Oklahoma joined the Union as the 46th state and Theodore Roosevelt was serving as President. The company struggled, but earned a solid reputation as its "shoe rack casters" proved popular in the marketplace. In 1928 Hamilton entered the floor truck market when it acquired H. Zering Mfg. Co., in Cincinnati. But by the late 1930's the company was reeling from the Great Depression and Mr. Weigel's health was failing.

Saving the enterprise which the founder had risked so much to establish required another great risk during troubled economic times. That's when son-in-law Ralph Lippert stepped in and purchased the company in 1939. His wife, Esther, served as president until 1943, when Ralph became the company's third president, a position he held until 1976.

By the time the third generation of the family joined the Company in the late fifties, it was out of debt and on solid financial footing. Bob, Tom and Larry Lippert's collective challenge was to nurture and grow the business. They expanded the product line, printed modern, attractive catalogs, grew the distribution network, and launched PRONTO® quick-ship service. Office and plant facilities were expanded and new CNC and robotic technologies revolutionized the workplace.
Hamilton completed the transition into its fourth generation management team in 1995, as Dave, Steve, Jim and Mark Lippert took the reins. Dave became Hamilton's fifth president.

Today the challenge is to build on the momentum created by the earlier generations. Combining the "old world" work ethic with the most sophisticated manufacturing techniques and information technologies available allows Hamilton Casters to aggressively march into its tenth decade of serving customers.
