Durastar Wheels - All Wheel Types

This collection holds Durastar Wheels All Types with polyurethane, rubber and polyolefin treads, made to replace worn wheels on carts, dollies, racks, and equipment. Wheels in this collection range from 90 to 6,000 lb per wheel. Wheels in this category range from 2 up to 12 inches in diameter with 1 to 7 in tread widths. Flanged and V groove track wheels ride on rail or angle iron track for straight line travel. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Polyolefin is light, low cost, and resists water and many chemicals. It is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Order the axle and spacers if the old ones are worn. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Caster hub: heavy duty casters.

Choosing Durastar wheels

Load: plan on three wheels carrying a four-wheel cart [S2]; at 1,500 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 4,500 lb, and the 6,000 lb top rating covers about 18,000 lb.
Floor: on Durastar wheels, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon, polyolefin, ductile iron, phenolic and semi-steel roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel Durastar wheels are listed.
Heat: among Durastar wheels, the highest listed range is -20°F to 800°F on ductile iron; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
