Polyurethane tank wheels are high-performance industrial wheels specifically designed to support and transport heavy tanks and equipment in demanding environments. These wheels combine the strength of a durable core with the versatility and resilience of polyurethane tread, making them ideal for various industrial applications.
Polyurethane tank wheels are engineered to bear substantial loads without deformation. Their robust construction allows them to support heavy industrial tanks, machinery, or containers, ensuring smooth and safe movement even under high pressure.
The polyurethane tread exhibits excellent resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cracking. This ensures long service life even in harsh environments, such as workshops, chemical plants, or manufacturing facilities.

The elastic properties of polyurethane provide a cushioning effect that helps reduce shock and vibration during transport. This protects both the transported equipment and the floor surface.
Unlike steel or hard plastic wheels, polyurethane wheels are non-marking. They help maintain clean working environments and prevent floor damage, especially on epoxy-coated or tiled floors.
Polyurethane tank wheels resist degradation from oils, greases, solvents, and many chemicals, making them suitable for chemical and food-processing industries.
Depending on the application, these wheels can be customized in terms of:
Diameter and width
Load rating
Hub material (steel, aluminum, or cast iron)
Mounting type (flanged, keyed bore, or bolt-on)
Chemical Storage Tanks
Mobile Pressure Vessels
Large Industrial Containers
Food and Beverage Transport Tanks
Heavy-Duty Cleaning Systems
