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.
Nylon
Highly resistant to extreme temperatures, nylon wheels are extra heavy duty. Able to take loads up to 10,000 lbs and will not chunk or separate under load. Resilient to bearing and friction heating. Smooth rolling and kind to floors.
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.
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.
Thermoplastic rubber (TPR)
TPR wheels combine the durability of hard-tread wheels with the quiet floor protection of soft-tread wheels. They are made of thermoplastic elastomer, permanently bonded to a polypropylene core. They are non-marking and 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 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.
Urethane on plastic
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.
