Polyurethane caster wheels have become the go-to solution for a wide range of industrial applications due to their exceptional durability, versatility, and performance. As a trusted polyurethane wheel manufacturer, we specialize in providing high-quality PU-coated wheels, precision-machined solid wheels, and heavy-duty caster wheels designed to meet the demands of industries such as material handling, logistics, and automated systems.
Key features of polyurethane wheels
• Heavy-duty performance
Our heavy-duty polyurethane wheels are engineered to handle heavy loads, providing superior strength and resilience for industrial environments. Whether used in forklift trucks, manual pallet jacks, or automated guided vehicles (AGVs), our wheels are built to withstand rigorous conditions. With a load capacity ranging from 500 to 1000 lbs, they ensure smooth and reliable operation in high-pressure environments. Wheels that exceed the rang can be customized
• Abrasion-resistant and long-lasting
Polyurethane is well-known for its abrasion-resistant properties, making it ideal for use in demanding applications. Our polyurethane wheels with bearings are designed to offer long-lasting performance, even in high-speed operations or extreme-duty conditions. The abrasion resistance helps extend the life of the wheel, reducing maintenance costs and increasing uptime.
• Zero crushes & precision engineering
For added reliability, our urethane wheels are designed with a zero crush feature, which minimizes the risk of deformation under heavy loads. This is particularly important for applications requiring precision-machined wheels. The high tolerance and accurate dimensions ensure that each wheel provides optimal performance, even under the most demanding conditions.
• Low noise & smooth operation
Our no-noise polyurethane wheels are designed to provide a quiet, smooth rolling experience, making them ideal for environments where noise reduction is crucial, such as warehouses, assembly lines, and clean rooms. The tread design of our PU-coated wheels helps to absorb impact and vibration, reducing noise levels and improving overall comfort for operators.
• Versatility and customization
Whether you require swivel plate casters, v-groove wheels, or hubbed drive rollers for specialized systems like railroad applications or shuttle conveyors, we offer custom polyurethane wheel solutions tailored to your exact specifications. From trolley wheels to high-speed rollers for u-shaped tracks, our wheels are suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications.
• Temperature & chemical resistance
Our polyurethane wheels are highly resistant to extreme temperatures, chemicals, and oils, making them ideal for use in a variety of environments, including outdoor, scrubber, and conveyor systems. With a temperature range of -45°F to 250°F, these wheels are versatile enough for industrial processes that involve exposure to harsh conditions.
