Item No. PP-010
Cast polyurethane is a remarkable material: it flexes like rubber, but holds its shape under loads that would destroy rubber in weeks. Our PU wheels take full advantage of this — carrying heavy loads, rolling smoothly, and resisting the abrasion, oils, and impacts that ruin ordinary wheels.
Where rubber softens, swells, or tears, polyurethane keeps working. Higher stiffness. Far better wear resistance. Reliable performance in oily, abrasive, and heavy-duty conditions. That is why our PU wheels are trusted in material handling systems, engineering machinery, and mining equipment around the world.
Cast polyurethane tread – durable, elastic, and dimensionally stable
Bonded to metal core – steel, stainless steel, or aluminum
Higher stiffness than rubber – greater load capacity, lower rolling resistance
Superior wear resistance – outlasts rubber 2–5 times in friction applications
Excellent tear & abrasion resistance – resists chunking, cutting, edge wear
Non-marking & floor-friendly – protects delicate flooring and surfaces
Low rolling resistance – smooth, quiet operation, reduced push effort
Oil, grease & chemical tolerant – thrives where rubber would degrade
Wide hardness range – 60 Shore A to 60 Shore D, tunable per application
Made to order – any diameter, width, hardness, and color
Stiffer Than Rubber, Still Elastic – PU wheels carry heavier loads with less deflection, rolling smoothly under weights that would flatten rubber wheels.
Wear Life Measured in Years, Not Months – In high-friction service, PU outlasts rubber by 2 to 5 times, slashing replacement frequency and downtime.
Resists What Destroys Rubber – Oils, greases, abrasion, tearing, and edge loading — polyurethane handles them all without swelling, chunking, or failing.
Non-Marking & Surface-Friendly – PU leaves no black streaks or scuffs, protecting epoxy floors, tiles, and delicate surfaces.
Material handling – pallet trucks, carts, trolleys, conveyor wheels
Industrial machinery – guide wheels, drive wheels, tension wheels
Mining equipment – shuttle car wheels, conveyor components, wear wheels
Engineering machinery – excavators, loaders, cranes, drilling rigs
Warehouse & logistics – order pickers, AGVs, rolling shelving
Material
Polyurethane (PU)
Features
Wear resistant, abrasion resistant, tear resistant, high load capacity, oil resistant, vibration damping
Hardness
Custom Shore hardness available
Application
Automotive, general machinery, industrial equipment, specialty machinery
Standard: Goods are typically supplied in about 20-25kg/carton.
Standardized Pallets: Goods are stacked on heat-treated (ISPM 15) or plastic pallets, optimized for forklift handling. Rigid Corner Protectors: High-impact cardboard corner guards are applied to the full height of the stack. This prevents the straps from cutting into the rubber and maintains the vertical integrity of the pallet.
What exactly are PU wheels?
Wheels with a cast polyurethane tread bonded to a metal core. PU flexes like rubber but delivers far higher stiffness, wear resistance, and load capacity.
How do PU wheels compare to rubber wheels?
PU is stiffer, far more wear-resistant, and handles heavier loads. Rubber is softer and quieter on rough surfaces. For high-load, high-friction work, PU wins.
What hardness can you produce?
From 60 Shore A (soft, high-grip) to 60 Shore D (hard, low-friction). We tune hardness to match your load, floor, and rolling requirements.
What core and bearing options are available?
Steel, stainless steel, or aluminum cores, with plain bore, roller bearing, or ball bearing options.
Will PU wheels mark my floors?
No. Polyurethane is non-marking and gentle on epoxy, tile, and most industrial flooring.
Are these wheels resistant to oils and chemicals?
Yes. PU resists oils, greases, and many industrial solvents — outperforming natural rubber in contaminated environments.
Can PU wheels handle heavy loads?
Yes. PU wheels support higher loads than equivalent rubber wheels, making them ideal for material handling and mining equipment.
Can you make custom sizes and shapes?
Absolutely. We cast to your drawings or samples — any diameter, width, tread thickness, hardness, and color. OEM orders welcome.
How long do PU wheels last?
With correct material selection, typically 2 to 5 times longer than equivalent rubber wheels in high-wear service.
