Cast polyurethane forklift wheels are a leading choice in material handling applications, offering exceptional durability, stability, and adaptability. The casting process is crucial in ensuring these wheels provide optimal performance. Liquid polyurethane is poured into molds, where it cures into a solid, uniform wheel. This method allows precise control over the wheel’s density and strength, ensuring superior quality. Every step of the casting process is handled with meticulous attention to detail, as even slight variations in molding or curing can impact performance. At Philson, we prioritize precision, ensuring our polyurethane wheels meet the highest quality standards.

Advantages of solid polyurethane forklift tires
• Durability and wear resistance
Polyurethane tires outshine other materials, especially in demanding environments. Due to the casting process, these wheels have a robust and uniform structure, providing superior abrasion resistance. Whether used in warehouses, loading docks, or distribution centers, polyurethane forklift wheels maintain their integrity, even under heavy loads and continuous use. This high wear resistance results in a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
• Superior load-bearing capacity
Polyurethane's strength and resilience provide excellent shock absorption and load distribution. Forklifts equipped with these wheels can carry heavier loads with greater ease, ensuring smoother operations and less strain on the equipment. This load-bearing capacity improves operational efficiency and extends the life of both the wheels and the forklift.
• Reduced vibration and noise
Heavy-duty polyurethane wheels absorb shocks and vibrations more effectively than other materials, significantly reducing noise levels during operation. This feature makes them ideal for environments where quieter operations are required, such as in retail or food storage. The smooth rolling action minimizes vibrations, reducing operator fatigue and improving overall comfort.
• Versatility and surface compatibility
Polyurethane tires perform exceptionally well across a wide variety of surfaces, including smooth concrete, slightly uneven flooring, or specialty surfaces. They provide excellent traction and stability, enabling forklifts to navigate these surfaces without slipping. This versatility enhances both safety and performance, making polyurethane wheels ideal for diverse warehouse and industrial environments.
• Environmental resistance
Polyurethane is highly resistant to chemicals, oils, and extreme temperatures, making these wheels suitable for use in a range of industrial environments. Whether in cold storage areas or high-temperature processing plants, polyurethane forklift tires maintain their performance under harsh conditions. This resilience makes them an excellent choice for facilities exposed to chemicals or those requiring heavy-duty, high-wear components.
