Cast Iron
 |
Cast Iron Wheels are exceptionally long wearing, have tremendous
resistance to shock, and are a good choice for high capacity loads in
warehousing and manufacturing. Recommended for rough concrete, wood block,
and littered floors. |
Forged Steel
 |
Forged steel wheels provide maximum strength and durability—even under a
load as heavy as 10,000 pounds. They are virtually indestructible within
their capacity range. Use them in the toughest applications and on the most
demanding floors, with the heaviest loads. |
Phenolic
 |
Phenolic wheels (also called Durastan) provide excellent service even in
wet and cold applications. They resist degradation, deterioration, and
corrosion from oil, grease, and commonly used acids and solvents.
Recommended for all types of floors except resilient tiles. |
Rubber on Iron
 |
Also known as mold-on rubber, the rubber on iron wheel is
floor-protective, provides long tread life, operates quietly, and is highly
resilient. Suggest for almost all kinds of floors and for a variety of
applications. It's well-suited for towline applications of the kind often
found in freight terminals or warehouses. |
Urethane on Iron
 |
Capacities rival those of steel wheels. Careful attention is paid during
the bonding process to assure that each wheel meets high performance
standards. UI wheels are non-marking, and resistant to abrasion, chemicals,
and oil. These wheels will typically outlast rubber wheels. |
V-Groove Iron
 |
V-Groove wheels are machined with a 90 degree groove for operation on
inverted angle iron track. They are used to control the flow of a load (into
an oven, between machines, over long distances, or where "production line"
sequences must be maintained.) |
Polyolefin
 |
Superior resistance to water and chemicals, better abrasion resistance
than hard rubber, and a remarkable ability to withstand impact. Ideal uses
include bakeries, meat packers, dairy, food processors, laundries,
supermarkets, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. |
Rubber on Plastic
 |
Provides unsurpassed reliability. Combines the durability of a
hard-tread wheel with the quiet floor protection of a soft-tread wheel. Will
not mark floors. Resistant to chemicals, acids, bases, alcohols, salts, &
steam. |
Solid Urethane
 |
Solid Urethane Wheels are designed primarily for applications involving
high moisture. Injection-molded urethane, the urethane solid wheel provides
extended service in moisture applications that normally destroy
conventionally bonded wheels. |
Urethane on Aluminum
 |
Non-marking Urethane on Aluminum wheels roll easier than rubber
wheels—and outlast them. Capacities that approach those of steel wheels.
They feature outstanding abrasion resistance, oil & chemical resistance, and
good floor protection. |
Urethane on Poly Wheels
 |
Mechanical bond eliminates bond separation due to wet conditions. Tread
material is 95 Durometer Shore A and provides excellent rollability with a
non-marking compound. Provides a smooth ride over rough surfaces. Excellent
for wet applications and caustic surfaces. |
Omega Wheels
 |
The Omega wheel can eliminate the need for spring casters. It achieves
its high capacities and enhanced impact-absorbing ability with a patented
web/spoke design. It flexes to cushion the load then rebounds to original
shape. Resists tearing and chunking, and won't pick up metal chips |
Ergo GT
 |
Ergo GT wheels are the ultimate wheel for superior rollability, though w do not recommend them for power towing applications.
Includes sealed precision ball bearings and can withstand a
temperature range of -50 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit. |
Pneumatic
 |
Provides smooth, shock resistant operation and load protection. Use for handling delicate instruments and breakable components. Indoor and outdoor use are recommended. This wheel is particularly well-suited for use in aerospace and aircraft applications. |
