There are many benefits to using PU castors. Some of these include:

• These wheels can easily withstand heavy loads and provide excellent traction
• Polyurethane castor wheels offer smooth and quiet operation and their non-marking properties also contribute to floor protection
• They are highly durable and are resistant to abrasion and chemicals
• PU castors are versatile mobility solutions that you can use in indoor and outdoor environments across many industries.

Yes! Polyurethane wheels are ideal for use in a wide range of applications in both indoor and outdoor environments. That is because they are durably made to withstand extreme environmental conditions like moisture and temperature changes. So, whether it's about navigating smooth indoor floors or rough outdoor surfaces, polyurethane castors offer unmatched performance, longevity and stability in all types of settings.

Featuring shore hardness 92-95 Shore A, PU castor wheels that are available in wheel sizes 2.5-8 Inches have a load capacity range of 80-400 Kgs. It means that these wheels are well-suited for withstanding heavy loads in industrial settings where heavy machinery or equipment demands movement from one place to another. Moreover, polyurethane has the resilience and ability to distribute weight effectively and ensure that the castors can handle or support heavy loads in demanding environments, and that too without compromising on performance or durability.

PU castor wheel’s exceptional durability, non-marking properties and chemical resistance sets it apart from other castor wheel types. Unlike rubber castor wheels, these wheels not only offer superior load-bearing capacity but also maintain their shape under heavy loads. Moreover, polyurethane castor wheels provide more noise-free and smoother operation than plastic wheels. Also, their versatility allows them to be used in diverse industries. That is why PU castors are the preferred choice for many businesses.

Yes! Polyurethane PU castor wheels are resistant to many chemicals and oils. The wheel material’s inherent properties, like its molecular structure and composition, are resistant to many chemicals and oils commonly found in industrial and commercial environments. This resistance is necessary to ensure the wheel’s integrity and performance, and it also makes these castor wheels ideal for applications where chemical exposure is quite common.

PU castor wheels are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, retail and hospitality. While the wheels are used to support heavy equipment and machinery in manufacturing settings, they facilitate the smooth movement of carts and racks in the retail industry. If we talk about healthcare settings, PU castors are popular for their non-marking and hygienic properties. And, in retail and hospitality, these wheels are used to support and move trolleys and furniture.

Polyurethane castor wheels generally have a suitable temperature range of -55° to 80° Celsius. So, while these wheels can withstand moderate temperatures, exposure to high temperatures (above 80°C) for a long time can result in PU material degradation. It will ultimately reduce the wheel’s overall performance and durability. Therefore, if you need castor wheels to work in high temperature environments, we recommend you choose other castor wheel materials that have higher heat resistance.

The polyurethane castor wheel’s lifespan usually depends on the following three factors:

• Load Capacity
• Operating conditions
• Frequency of use

Generally, if the wheels operate in normal conditions, they can last 2 to 10 years. However, you can extend the polyurethane castor wheel’s lifespan by maintaining the wheel regularly, using it properly and avoiding overloading and prolonged exposure to harsh environments.

You can only choose the right size of polyurethane wheels if you consider factors such as load capacity, maneuverability needs and floor type. Always select a wheel diameter that best suits your terrain and load weight. It will help you ensure the wheels navigate smoothly while also offering stability. In addition to this, do not forget to access the wheel width for optimal weight distribution and traction.
