Customized PU Load Bearing Wheel for Electric Forklift Trucks Details
Key Functions & Purpose
Heavy-Duty Load Support: Distributed at the front or stabilizers of electric forklifts to support the primary weight of the chassis and heavy cargo safely.
Floor Protection & Noise Reduction: The non-marking PU tread absorbs vibrations, provides silent operation, and prevents damage or black tracks on expensive industrial epoxy and concrete warehouse floors.
Smooth Logistics Flow: Minimizes rolling resistance, allowing electric walkie stackers and reach trucks to maneuver efficiently with lower energy consumption.

Application Industrial
Logistics, Warehousing & E-Commerce Fulfillment: Designed for high-frequency, 24/7 operations in massive distribution centers. Our non-marking wheels minimize rolling resistance, saving forklift battery life while keeping transit smooth and quiet.
Cold Storage & Food Processing: Engineered to maintain high flexibility and excellent grip in temperature-controlled environments and walk-in freezers (down to -20°C). The non-porous PU surface resists water and mild cleaning chemical washdowns.
Automotive & Heavy Machinery Manufacturing: Capable of supporting extreme loads on the assembly line. These wheels resist cutting and tearing when rolled over occasional metal shavings, tacks, or rough floor joints common in manufacturing plants.
Pharmaceutical & Cleanroom Environments: Crucial for environments with strict hygiene standards. The pure polyurethane tread leaves absolutely zero black tire tracks or carbon dust, keeping floors pristine and compliant with sanitary regulations.
Chemical, Oil & Gas Logistics: Offers outstanding chemical resistance. The specialized PU compound does not degrade, swell, or soften when exposed to accidental spills of industrial oils, greases, lubricants, or diluted acids.
Airport & Air Cargo Baggage Handling: Provides high stability and impact absorption for heavy pallet container movers and electric tow tractors navigating both smooth terminal floors and transitional ramps.
Why Choose AstraRoll's PU Load Bearing Wheels?
Polyurethane Delamination & Debonding: AstraRoll utilizes advanced chemical bonding technology with industrial-grade primers. The polyurethane layer is hot-cast directly onto shot-blasted cast iron cores. This guarantees zero separation between the PU tread and the steel core, even under sudden braking or maximum rated weight.
Rapid Abrasion & Premature Cracking: We use high-density, pure polyurethane formulations with excellent tear strength and compression set resistance. Our wheels resist chunking and cracking caused by floor debris, metal shavings, or small ramps, extending the service life by 2-3x compared to generic rubber or low-grade nylon wheels.
Poor Fitment & Defective Bearings: Every steel core is CNC-machined to tight tolerances (within microns) for perfect bearing seat alignment. Paired with dual-shielded heavy-duty precision bearings, our wheels eliminate wobbling, reduce internal friction heat, and ensure a 100% precise drop-in fit for your forklift fleet.
Rigid One-Size-Fits-All Limitations: Can't find the exact OEM part number? AstraRoll offers comprehensive technical support. Send us your technical drawings or worn samples, and we will custom-manufacture the precise outer diameter, width, inner bore, and target Shore hardness required for your specific application.
