W/ POLYOLEFIN WHEELS

Medium Duty Polyolefin Industrial Plastic Wheel Casters

Polyolefin (industrial plastic) wheel casters are a cost-effective choice for medium-duty carts and equipment where washdown, chemicals, or corrosion exposure is common. Lightweight, impact-resistant, and easy rolling on smooth floors.

Typical use: carts, racks, bakery/food service equipment, labs, medical carts, and general plant/warehouse handling.

Why engineers and MRO teams spec polyolefin

  • Excellent value for high-quantity replacements and fleet standardization
  • Impervious to water; strong resistance to many oils, greases, and cleaning agents
  • High impact resistance for bumps and shock loads
  • Lightweight wheel = easier push/pull vs. metal cores in many builds

Key performance characteristics

Wheel material
Solid injection-molded polyolefin
Durometer
~70 Shore D (±5)
Temperature range
~40°F to 180°F
Environment fit
Wet areas, light chemical exposure, general washability

Capacity varies by wheel size, bearing, and top plate/rig selection—use the lower-rated component for your true system capacity.

Common applications

  • Tool carts, utility carts, and service equipment
  • Food service and bakery environments (dry or wet service areas)
  • Labs, clinics, and medical carts where washability matters
  • Manufacturing carts, fixtures, and warehouse handling
When polyolefin is NOT the best wheel

If you’re rolling over debris, cracked concrete, expansion joints, or thresholds all day, consider a softer tread (TPR or polyurethane) to reduce vibration and improve ride quality. If floor protection and noise reduction are critical, polyolefin may be too hard depending on load and surface.

How to spec the right caster (fast checklist)
  • Total loaded weight: include payload + cart/equipment weight
  • Floor type: smooth concrete vs. joints/debris vs. epoxy
  • Exposure: water, cleaners, oils/grease, mild chemicals
  • Maneuvering: long straight runs vs. tight turns (bearing + swivel choice matters)
  • Control: consider brakes/locking options where needed
