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.
✔ 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.

Compared to Rubber: Higher load capacity, better abrasion and chemical resistance.
Compared to Steel: Lower noise, better floor protection, and no corrosion.
Compared to Nylon: Greater shock absorption and surface traction.
Heavy duty polyurethane wheels are versatile and fit a wide range of applications:
✔ Intelligent Equipment: Ideal for machinery and heavy equipment that require smooth and reliable movement, such as stacker, OHCV, OHT and AGV, etc.
✔ Warehouse Racking: Ensures easy maneuverability of storage units.
✔ Medical Equipment: Provides quiet and stable mobility for hospital carts and diagnostic machines.
✔ Retail Carts: Enhances the functionality of carts used in stores and supermarkets.
