Heavy Duty Stacker Drive Wheels are specially engineered components designed to support and propel electric or manual stackers under demanding industrial conditions. These wheels play a crucial role in ensuring smooth, stable, and efficient material handling operations in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics centers. Built to withstand high loads, frequent movement, and challenging floor conditions, they are a vital part of the drive system in stacker trucks.
Heavy-duty stacker drive wheels are constructed to carry substantial weight without deformation or failure. They are often rated to support loads ranging from 500 kg to over 2000 kg, depending on the design and application.
These wheels are typically made from high-performance materials such as:
Polyurethane (PU): Offers excellent abrasion resistance, floor protection, and quiet operation.
Rubber: Provides superior shock absorption and grip.
Steel or Cast Iron Cores: Reinforce structural strength and ensure dimensional stability under load.
Drive wheels are precisely machined for consistent rotation and minimal vibration. This improves the overall handling of the stacker and reduces wear on the drive motor and transmission system.
Designed with tread patterns or specific compounds to maximize grip on smooth or slightly uneven warehouse floors, reducing slippage during acceleration or braking.
Heavy-duty drive wheels are typically keyed or hub-mounted for secure attachment to electric motors or hydraulic drives, ensuring efficient power transmission.
Heavy Duty Stacker Drive Wheels are commonly used in:
Electric stackers (walk-behind or ride-on types)
Manual hydraulic stackers
Reach trucks and pallet stackers
Narrow aisle lift equipment
They are essential in environments where frequent start-stop motion, high torque transmission, and load-bearing capacity are required.
Long service life even under high usage conditions
Reduced maintenance due to wear-resistant materials
Improved energy efficiency thanks to low rolling resistance
Enhanced safety with strong traction and stable support
Customizable in terms of size, material, and mounting options to fit specific stacker models
Heavy Duty Durable Stacker Polyurethane Wheels are critical for the safe and efficient operation of stacker vehicles in industrial environments. With advanced materials, precise manufacturing, and a focus on performance under load, they help maximize productivity and reduce downtime in material handling operations.
Polyurethane wheels are widely used in electrical forklifts because of their excellent durability, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to wear and tear. However, selecting the right wheels is crucia
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.
How to Select and Install Forklift Wheel
11 May, 2023Selecting and installing polyurethane forklift wheels requires careful consideration of load capacity, floor conditions, operating environment, and the specific function of each wheel type. Proper installation involves safely lifting the forklift, removing old wheels, inspecting components, and securely fitting new wheels to manufacturer specifications.
