SUPER CUSHION rubber caster wheels provide a
cushioned ride, shock absorption and quiet operation. They can be used outdoors
on grass or dirt but are not recommended for use on gravel or sand. Super
cushion rubber wheels are nearly as resilient as pneumatic wheels with none of
the maintenance problems associated with air filled wheels. The absence of air
in the tire eliminates the risk of a flat tire. SUPER CUSHION rubber caster
wheels are known for their noise absorption and shock isolation. They have an
extra resilient soft rubber tread bonded to a thick aluminum wheel center. They
are especially popular for use in Hospitals, Scientific and Electronic
Laboratories, Department Stores, Hotels, TV and Movie Studios - wherever noise
and vibration should be eliminated. They are ideally suited for moving fragile
or delicate cargo. This Super Cushion rubber wheel is featured in our Caster
Model 9. We recommend the casters with gray soft rubber tires because they are
a non-marking material. The black rubber wheels contain carbon black and thus
have the potential of leaving a black mark. We offer both because upscale
hotels seem to prefer the look of black tires in a Brass Plated caster
bracket.
Casters with Semi-Pneumatic Wheels
Semi-Pneumatic wheels have an extra thick
solid soft rubber tire on an industrial plastic wheel center. The absence of
air in the tire eliminates the risk of a flat tire. Although less resilient
than full pneumatics, semi-pneumatic wheels help to reduce the vibration and
shock caused by floor surfaces which are not smooth. Semi-pneumatic wheels
should not be used on sand or gravel but can be used on other surfaces
including grass. The footprint of semi-pneumatic wheels is slightly less than a
fill pneumatic but the capacity of semi-pneumatics is greater. All black, soft
rubber tires contain carbon black and therefore they can make black marks on
the floor if the wheel is dragged instead of allowed to roll. The 8" x 2
1/2" Semi-Pneimatic wheel is available in a caster for power towed
applications. Consult us for a recommendation.
Foam Filled Pneumatic Wheels
have no air in the tires, thus eliminating the possibility of the wheels ever
going flat. These wheels provide the same traction and wide footprint needed to
roll on grass, dirt and over small pebbles. Foam Filled Pneumatic Wheels have a
higher capacity and higher initial cost than Air Filled Pneumatic Wheels.
However, over time, they may prove to cost less because they last longer.
People tend to load equipment only to the weight they can move easily. Foam
Filled Pneumatics can lead to higher productivity because they require less
effort to move.

We
suggest that you do NOT drill the mounting holes to attach the casters until
you receive them.
You should never select on the basis of load capacity
alone. Capacity ratings do not take into account the effort required to
manually move a load. Capacity ratings are based on manual operation under
ideal conditions. If these casters are going to be moved by mechanically
powered equipment, consult us for a reduced capacity rating based on your
application. If a human being has to move the weight, select the largest
practical wheel diameter.
