Polyurethane forklift driving wheels refer to forklift wheels made of polyurethane material. They are mainly used for driving and carrying forklifts. Polyurethane is a polymer compound with excellent physical and chemical properties, such as wear resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, aging resistance, etc., so it is widely used in various machinery, automobiles, ships and other fields.
Advantages of polyurethane materials
● In the application of forklift driving wheels, the wear resistance of polyurethane materials can greatly extend the service life of the wheels and reduce the frequency of wheel replacement, thus reducing maintenance costs.
● Polyurethane material has good oil and water resistance and is not easily affected by oil stains and moisture.
● In the working environment of forklifts, wheels are often affected by factors such as sunlight and oxygen, and the aging resistance of polyurethane materials can effectively protect the wheels and extend their service life.
● Polyurethane material has good elasticity and buffering properties, which can effectively absorb the impact and vibration of the forklift during driving, reduce the damage to the ground by the forklift, and also protect the forklift itself.
Design features of polyurethane forklift driving wheels
● The wheel surface design is reasonable, which can effectively improve the friction and adhesion of the wheel, and enhance the driving force and stability of the forklift. At the same time, the pattern design of the wheel surface can also effectively prevent wheel slipping and sliding, improving the safety of forklift driving.
● The wheel hub has a strong structure and can withstand large loads and impact forces, ensuring the stability and safety of the forklift during driving. At the same time, the design of the wheel hub is also easy to install and disassemble, making it convenient for forklift maintenance and upkeep.
● The lightweight design reduces the overall weight of the forklift and improves the transportation efficiency and fuel economy of the forklift. At the same time, the lightweight design also helps reduce the pressure of the forklift on the ground and protects the ground from damage.
Urethane’s superior durability, chemical resistance, customizability, and long-term cost advantages make it an ideal material for modern industrial needs. As demands for efficiency, automation, and reliability continue to rise, urethane wheels are well-positioned to become the new standard in industrial mobility.
Polyurethane AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) drive wheels are specially designed wheels that combine high-performance polyurethane tread with durable cores to ensure excellent traction, load capacity, and durability in automated material handling systems.
In the evolving landscape of urban mobility and industrial automation, the performance and reliability of monorail systems are critical. One key component driving this performance is the Vulkollan® drive wheel — a high-performance polyurethane wheel known for its exceptional mechanical properties.
