"You'll love the right wheel - and despise the wrong one. Casters fail for a number of reasons, but the big one is that they weren't specified correctly for the job. Wheel selection isn't always easy, but we can help you get the right rig and wheel for the environment and application. I've been doing this since the 1990s, and have seen just about everything. Call today or send a request and we'll help you get it right."

Wheel Selection Guide

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.
Ductile Steel
Ductile steel wheels have capacities close to forged steel and are less brittle than cast iron. They resist abrasion and deformation, even under shock loading, and have a long service life. They should not be used on protected floor surfaces, as they are likely to cause chips and wear.
Phenolic
Phenolic wheels provide excellent service in wet and cold applications. They resist degradation, deterioration, and corrosion from oil, grease, commonly used acids and solvents. Recommended for all types of floors except resilient tiles.
Rubber on Plastic
Provides unsurpassed reliability. Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) 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, and steam.
Urethane on Iron
Capacities rival those of steel wheels. Careful attention is paid during the bonding process to assure each wheel meets high performance standards. 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.)
Forged Steel
Forged steel wheels provide maximum strength and durability—even under loads as heavy as 10,000 pounds. They are virtually indestructible within their capacity range. Use in the toughest applications, on the most demanding floors, with the heaviest loads.
Rubber on Iron
Known as mold-on rubber, the rubber on iron wheel is floor-protective, provides long tread life, operates quietly, and is highly resilient. Suits almost all floors and a variety of applications. Used in towline applications often found in freight terminals or warehouses.
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.
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 bonding eliminates bond separation due to wet conditions. 95 Durometer Shore A tread material provides excellent rollability with a non-marking compound. Provides a smooth ride over rough surfaces. Excellent for wet applications and caustic surfaces.
Omega Wheels
Omega wheels eliminate the need for spring casters. Its high capacities and enhanced impact-absorbing abilities are achieved with a patented design. It flexes to cushion the load then rebounds to original shape. Resists tearing and chunking. Won't pick up metal chips.
