Cast Iron or Semi-Steel: These cast iron wheels are
constructed of premium gray iron for maximum load capacity and
impact strength. The wheels feature heavy cross section castings for
heavy duty use, abrasion resistance and a long service life. They
are resistant to abrasions and require minimal effort to start-up and
push loads.
Built for high capacity applications, the
cast iron wheels can withstand extreme heat. Precision tapered bearings
are available to complement the characteristics of the wheels. |

Extreme Duty
Polyurethane on Steel: The combination of this high-load
urethane chemically fused to a steel core makes this wheel one of the
most long lasting, rugged wheels available. It resists heat build-up and
is excellent for applications where heavy loads and continuous usage
cause regular poly wheels to degrade.
It provides floor protection, is
non-marking and delivers a quieter ride than a hard tread or steel
wheel. |

Forged steel wheels are
hot forged from high carbon steel billets heated to 2,400 degrees then
repeatedly hit by high tonnage forging hammers. This process enhances
the grain structure and increases the ductility and tensile strength
(64000 psi) of the wheel. The wheels are then precision machined flat
with rounded edged to finished tolerances.
Forged steel wheels offer the greatest
load capacity, impact strength and rollability of all caster wheels. |

Hard Rubber:
One-piece molded construction, available in black or grey, these hard
rubber wheels have a higher load capacity than the soft rubber and will
not flatten while sitting under load. They provide an easy roller,
and easy start-up along with great durability. Also resistant to most
chemicals, oils, grease, solvents and cleaning agents. Not
non-marking! |

Polyolefin wheels are comprised of precision molded high quality
polyurethane mechanically locked to a durable polyolefin core, providing
a versatile, strong and attractive wheel. Different manufacturers
often assign their own brand name, such as Performa, Protech, PolyLoc or
Mirage. These popular wheels are available in various color
combinations and can look very attractive while providing easy
roll-ability, floor protection, non-marking and non-conductive
performance. |

Polyurethane on Cast
Iron: A wide variety of liquid
cast polyurethane wheels are available. These wheels offer a longer
wearing, higher capacity material than rubber, yet will not damage or
mark
floors like cast iron or steel. Polyurethane wheels possess a durability
unmatched by any rubber tread wheel and are built to withstand permanent
flat spots in the tread. The polyurethane resists most chemicals
and oils and rejects floor debris. |

Rubber on Aluminum
wheels feature a cushion rubber tread chemically - and
permanently - bonded to a smooth, polished aluminum wheel core. They
provide light weight with good load capacity and shock absorption.
Particularly with annular bearings, they require minimal effort to
starup-up and push a load. The cushioned rubber allows for easy
roll-over of small obstacles such as electrical cords and door
thresholds. They offer floor protection, are non marking and
non-conductive, and resist liquids, oils, greases, cleaning agents and
solvents. |

Rubber on Cast Iron: Our mold-on rubber wheels
consist of a soft black, 70 durometer (Shore A) rubber tread permanently bonded
on gray iron centers. Mold-on rubber wheels provide excellent
floor protection, a cushioned and quiet ride for the product being
transported, and they absorb shock and vibration.
Excellent for moist and wet environments,
food service equipment, small waste bins, factory use, platform trucks
and hotel equipment. |

Soft Rubber wheels are a good choice for those applications
where the average load is light with occasional loads using the full
capacity of the wheel. Soft Rubber wheels are manufactured of quality
materials with a resilient rubber tread bonded to the hard rubber core.
These wheels are an economical choice for moving equipment.
Cons: Overloading can result in flat
spots making initial rollability more difficult. Do not use in
oil/ grease situations, where metal chips/ filings are present, or in
high temperature environments. |
