Flat Free / Pneumatic / Semi-Penumatic Wheels

This collection holds Flat Free Pneumatic Semi Penumatic Wheels with pneumatic, polyurethane and rubber treads, made to replace worn wheels on carts, dollies, racks, and equipment. Wheels in this collection range from 250 to 550 lb per wheel. Wheels in this category range from 6 up to 10 inches in diameter with 2 to 3-1/2 in tread widths. Flanged and V groove track wheels ride on rail or angle iron track for straight line travel. Air filled and flat free tires cushion the load and roll over gravel, grass, cracks, and debris. 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. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Match the bore, hub length, diameter, and tread width before you order. Order the axle and spacers if the old ones are worn. Pneumatic aisle: pneumatic casters. Caster hub: heavy duty casters.
