PH - Phenolic Wheels

This collection holds Ph Phenolic Wheels with phenolic treads, made to replace worn wheels on carts, dollies, racks, and equipment. Wheels in this collection range from 400 to 3,500 lb per wheel. Wheels in this category range from 3 up to 12 inches in diameter with 1-1/4 to 3 in tread widths. Phenolic rolls easily on smooth floors and handles dry heat, oil, and grease, but it is not made for water or washdown. It suits warehouse carts, toolboxes, and tool carts, and it is loud on rough floors. Match the bore, hub length, diameter, and tread width before you order. Order the axle and spacers if the old ones are worn. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Measure the old wheel or caster before you buy. Phenolic aisle: phenolic casters. Caster hub: heavy duty casters.
