About Polyurethane Wheel
Polyurethane Wheel
A Polyurethane Wheel is a highperformance wheel made from durable polyurethane widely used in industrial automotive and material handling applications Known for their superior durability and strength these wheels provide a reliable solution for heavyduty environments
Key Features and Benefits
Superior Resistance Polyurethane wheels offer excellent resistance to abrasion impact and wear making them ideal for demanding conditions in material handling and industrial machinery
Shock Absorption The flexibility and shockabsorbing properties of polyurethane help provide a smooth quiet ride reduce vibrations and improve overall stability
Chemical and Temperature Resistance Unlike rubber wheels polyurethane wheels are resistant to oils chemicals and temperature extremes ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments
LoadBearing Capacity Polyurethane wheels offer excellent loadbearing capacity making them suitable for use in carts trolleys conveyors and other heavyduty industrial machinery
Surface Protection These wheels are gentle on surfaces minimizing damage to floors or sensitive materials making them ideal for environments where floor preservation is important
Applications and Industries
Industrial Polyurethane wheels are commonly used in material handling systems such as trolleys carts and conveyors offering reduced maintenance and longlasting durability
Automotive and Machinery They are also employed in various industrial machinery applications helping to enhance mobility and efficiency
Warehousing and Logistics Widely used in logistics warehousing and manufacturing polyurethane wheels are an efficient costeffective solution for improving material handling systems
Available in a variety of sizes and designs polyurethane wheels provide significant value over time by reducing maintenance needs increasing reliability and ensuring smooth operation across industries
Outstanding Abrasion and Chemical ResistanceCrafted from high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), these wheels offer excellent abrasion resistance, ensuring extended service life in demanding environments. The smooth, solid color finish is not only visually appealing but also provides good resistance to oils, grease, and solvents, making them dependable for various industrial challenges.
Quiet, Efficient, and Versatile OperationDesigned for low noise operation, our polyurethane wheels are perfect for noise-sensitive areas like warehouses and hospitals. With the ability to withstand loads up to 800 kg per wheel and an operating temperature from -30C to +80C, they cater to a spectrum of material handling and transportation needs.
FAQ's of Polyurethane Wheel:
Q: How do I choose the right polyurethane wheel size and load capacity for my equipment?
A: Select the wheel size and load capacity based on your trolley or cart's specifications. Our wheels range from 50mm to 300mm in diameter and support loads from 100 kg up to 800 kg per wheel. Consider the total weight (including equipment and payload) and divide it among the number of wheels to determine the appropriate load capacity for your application.
Q: What benefits do polyurethane wheels offer over rubber or metal wheels in industrial applications?
A: Polyurethane wheels provide superior abrasion resistance, lower noise during operation, and excellent chemical resistance compared to rubber or metal wheels. They are also less likely to mark floors and deliver a smoother ride, making them suitable for industrial carts, hand trolleys, and material handling equipment.
Q: Where can polyurethane wheels be used most effectively?
A: These wheels are ideal for use in settings such as warehouses, manufacturing units, distribution centers, and even hospitals. They are well-suited for hand trolleys, industrial carts, and equipment that demand robust load capacity and silent, non-marking operation.
Q: What is the process for installing these wheels onto my carts or trolleys?
A: Typically, you select the appropriate mounting type-fixed, swivel, or with brakes-and use the provided fittings to secure the wheel to your equipment. Ensure that the core material and bearing type (cast iron/plastic/aluminium with ball or plain bearings) match your application's needs for optimal performance.
Q: When should I consider replacing my existing wheels with these polyurethane wheels?
A: If your current wheels exhibit significant wear, noise, or damage, or if you require higher chemical or abrasion resistance, it's time to upgrade. Polyurethane wheels improve performance, reduce operational noise, and extend equipment lifespan.
Q: What makes your polyurethane wheels suitable for outdoor and UV-exposed environments?
A: Our wheels are manufactured from UV-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane, ensuring color stability and material integrity even with prolonged exposure to sunlight, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor industrial applications.
Q: How do polyurethane wheels handle extreme temperatures or heavy industrial usage?
A: They operate reliably in temperatures from -30C to +80C and can withstand high-tensile loads up to 38 MPa. Combined with their robust construction and smooth surface finish, polyurethane wheels are built for challenging and varied industrial conditions.
