Cast iron wheels are exceptionally long wearing. They 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 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.
Omega
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.
Phenolic
Phenolic wheels 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
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.
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.
