Polyurethane Tyre Wheels
Castor Wheels with a Polyurethane Tyre are one of the most popular choice of wheel for casters. The polyurethane is softer than a hard treads like Nylon or Cast Iron while still offering great load ratings and low rolling resistance.Polyurethane tyres are available with Nylon, Aluminium and Cast Iron Centres.
... The softer tyre means it is more elastic and not only will it not damage or mark most flooring,. Furthermore, it can absorb rolling vibrations from the floor which reduces noise and increases user comfort.
Being harder than a soft tread like Rubber, a polyurethane tyre is more resistant to compression and has a lower rolling resistance. Rolling resistance is the force required to keep the wheel in motion at a constant speed when under load.
In heavy duty applications, polyurethane is hard wearing with more abrasion and tear resistance than rubber tyre castor wheels offering 10 times the useful life.
As an alterative to Cast Iron, polyurethane can offer similar load capacity. The added benefit is that they are more gentle on floors. Though the tyre will wear more quickly than Cast Iron, on larger sizes, bonded polyurethane wheels can be retyred. This is generally at a lower cost than the buying a new wheel. Read More

Load Capacity = 6,750kgThe polyurethane used is extremely high quality REVVOTHANE which has a high tear strength and exceptional abrasion resistance. It is resistant to a wide range of oils, greases and chemicals and performs optimally at temperatures between -30 deg. C and +80 deg. C.The taper roller bearing allows the bearing to cope with large vertical (radial) and horizontal (axial) forces. They greatly reduce friction when the wheel is being used which reduces the wheels rolling resistance making it easier to move while under load. - In Stock

£43.9275mm Polyurethane (Premium Grade REVVOTHANE) Tyre ... Read Moreon a Cast Iron Centre Wheel running on 12mm smooth plain bore. This is high performance industrial wheel and the stated load capacity of 300kg is based on the wheel being manually propelled at 4 km/h (walking speed).As a high performance wheel it can be used in more demanding applications than a standard polyurethane tyre castor wheel could be:As with all polyurethane tyre wheels, extended periods of use or speeds greater 4 km/h will result in surface friction. This friction generates heat that builds up in the polyurethane that will cause a standard polyurethane tyre to de-bond from the cast iron. REVVOTHANE is a very high quality polyurethane that offers minimal heat build up and performs exceptionally well within the following guidelines:- If the wheel be in continual use for more than 45 minutes, this reduces the load capacity by 25%.
- The load capacity is reduced by a further 30% if used as Drive Wheel
- Reduce load by further 20% if the running speed is between 6 km/h and 10 km/h
- Reduce the load by a further 30% if the running speed is between 10 km/h and 16 km/h
