The Problem: Common Wheel Failures in Heavy Machinery

Many heavy machinery operators rely on off-the-shelf rubber or metal wheels, but these components often break down under high-stress conditions. Common issues include:

• Rapid Wear & Tear: Abrasive surfaces and heavy loads cause traditional wheels to degrade quickly, leading to frequent replacements
• Load Instability: Wheels made from standard materials can deform under pressure, reducing machine stability and performance
• Environmental Damage: Exposure to chemicals, oils, and extreme weather conditions leads to premature material breakdowns and wheel failures.

The Solution: Custom Polyurethane Wheels for Heavy Machinery

Switching to custom polyurethane wheels solves these challenges. Advanced polyurethane outperforms traditional materials, offering superior performance in heavy machinery applications: 

Superior Abrasion Resistance

Polyurethane resists wear and tear, resulting in fewer replacements and longer service life.  

• Example: A packaging facility upgraded to custom polyurethane wheels for their conveyor systems and reduced wheel replacements by 40% over 12 months. 

High Load Capacity

Polyurethane's elasticity allows it to support heavy loads without deforming, ensuring stability and optimal performance.

• Real-World Use: In industrial machinery, polyurethane wheels maintain their shape under extreme pressure, reducing wobbling and increasing equipment lifespan.

Chemical Resistance

Polyurethane naturally resists chemicals and oils, making it ideal for challenging environments.

• Use Case: A food processing plant switched to polyurethane wheels to handle frequent washdowns and chemical exposure, leading to fewer failures and better hygiene compliance.

Custom Manufacturing for Your Exact Needs

Not all machinery is the same - why settle for off-the-shelf wheels? We specialize in custom polyurethane wheels tailored to meet your exact specifications. Here's how we can help:

• Varying durometers: Custom hardness levels for optimal flexibility and durability
