The stainless steel core polyurethane forklift wheel is a high-performance industrial wheel designed specifically for forklifts and material handling equipment. It combines the exceptional durability of a stainless steel core with the shock-absorbing and wear-resistant properties of polyurethane tread. This wheel is particularly suitable for use in corrosive environments, cleanroom facilities, and food or pharmaceutical industries where hygiene and corrosion resistance are critical.
Made from high-grade stainless steel (typically SS304 or SS316).
Offers excellent resistance to rust, corrosion, and chemical exposure.
Ideal for use in wet, humid, or chemically aggressive environments.
Molded over the steel core to provide a strong mechanical bond.
High abrasion resistance, excellent load-bearing capacity, and low rolling resistance.
Absorbs shocks and vibrations, reducing noise and protecting cargo.
Resistant to oil, grease, and most industrial chemicals.
Designed to handle heavy-duty applications.
Maintains stability and rolling efficiency under high loads.
Long service life even in continuous operation.
Polyurethane material is non-marking, leaving no stains or damage on warehouse floors.
Suitable for indoor use on various surfaces including concrete, epoxy, and tile.
