Polyurethane Caster Wheels: The Perfect Balance of Durability & Floor Protection

Capacities from 800 lbs to 5,000 lbs | Sizes: 4" thru 12" Diameters

When it comes to caster wheels, Polyurethane Wheels stand out with their superior qualities compared to standard Rubber, Plastic, Phenolic, or Steel wheels. Why are they the popular choice for giants like Home Depot, Lowes, and major retail chains? Let's dive in.

The Polyurethane Advantage: Durability Meets Versatility

With a hardness range of 85 to 95 Shore A Durometer, Polyurethane offers unmatched floor protection while ensuring easy roll-ability. They're ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings, handling hefty loads, smooth and quiet operation, and offer impeccable protection on surfaces like laminate, tile, concrete, wood, and more.

Customize Your Experience: Choose the Right Durometer

The 85 Shore A Durometer ensures reduced noise and effortlessly rolls over obstacles like debris, screws, and wires. In contrast, the 95 Shore A Durometer wheel optimizes push/pull force, offering better maneuverability and ease of movement.

  • Polyurethane Elastomer Tread: The Perfect Blend with Cast Iron Core

    Experience higher weight capacities combined with optimal floor protection and a silent roll. A step up in delivering quality and efficiency.

    Precision Ball Bearings & Tapered Roller Bearings

    Starting and maintaining a rolling load has never been easier. Generate less friction heat, and potentially extend the wheel's lifespan with our bearing features.

    Perfect for both indoor and outdoor usage. Do note, the cast iron core may rust over time. For rust-free solutions, consider our aluminum or plastic core wheels.
