Heavy duty polyurethane wheels are high-performance wheels engineered to support large loads while providing excellent durability, resilience, and wear resistance. These wheels are commonly used in industrial, warehousing, and material handling applications where traditional rubber or metal wheels may fail due to extreme loads, abrasive environments, or continuous operation.
Why Choose Polyurethane?
✔ Polyurethane is renowned for its exceptional performance characteristics:
✔ Durability: Resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and impacts, making them ideal for harsh environments.
✔ Shock Absorption: Provides excellent cushioning, reducing strain on both the caster and the surface it travels on.
✔ Quiet Operation: Minimizes noise compared to metal or hard plastic casters, creating a quieter workspace.
✔ Floor Protection: The soft yet resilient nature of polyurethane ensures minimal damage to floors.
