W/ Orange Poly on Aluminum Wheels

Orange Sirius Heavy Duty “Donut” Polyurethane on Aluminum Swivel Casters

Sirius heavy duty donut polyurethane on aluminum casters are engineered for high-capacity material handling in wash-down and corrosion-prone environments. The aluminum core resists rust and reduces wheel weight, while the polyurethane tread delivers floor protection and lower rolling resistance.

Wheel diameters
4"–8" (series-dependent)
Typical load range
Up to ~1,250 lbs per caster (varies by size/config)
Best environments
Wet, wash-down, chemical exposure, corrosion risk
Key limitation
Not intended for high-impact / shock-load abuse

Engineering guidance

Why specify polyurethane on aluminum
  • Aluminum core: corrosion resistance for wash-down and chemical exposure
  • Polyurethane tread: non-marking floor protection with smoother roll than rubber
  • Lower rolling resistance: supports ergonomic push/pull performance on smooth floors
When to choose a different wheel/core
  • Impact / shock loading: consider tougher cores and wheel constructions designed for abuse
  • Rough floors / debris: consider tread profiles and materials optimized for obstacles and seams
  • Powered towing: specify a solution designed for continuous towing loads and duty cycles
Common applications
  • Food processing and wash-down carts
  • Hospitals, labs, and pharma facilities
  • Industrial material handling where corrosion is a concern
  • Operations targeting reduced push/pull force and floor protection
