	The Super Caster with Self-Energizing Rubber Wheels SELF-ENERGIZING rubber wheels require the lowest draw bar effort ever devised in any resilient tread wheel. The prestressed rubber tire resists flattening under load, reduces "scrubbing" action when turning, and actually helps to roll the load. A minimum starting effort, and an extremely small draw bar pull to maintain motion (60% less than conventional rubber), allows one man to move loads (up to 3000 lbs.) that before required several men. Vertical bonding (with approximately seven times the area of conventional wheels) eliminates bond failure as a cause for wheel replacement. The steel side discs dissipate heat so that the tire remains cool after hours of uninterrupted operation. Sealed tapered roller bearings are pre-adjusted in the wheel to assure they always maintain proper adjustment.

Caster Wheels
Our Caster Wheel selection covers all of the bases. With both hard and soft materials, we have just the right wheel for your job. Our Caster Wheels are not only for our casters but may be used as replacements in your current equipment. Many of our customers buy our caster wheels for special projects and they are never even installed in casters. For tips on choosing the right caster wheel, go to our Tips Page. Below is our listing of Caster Wheels.
	PREMIUM Rubber Caster Wheels PREMIUM rubber caster wheels have a special compound of highly resilient soft rubber bonded to thick aluminum wheel centers. Unlike Conventional Moldon rubber caster wheels, PREMIUM rubber caster wheels can be moved manually when loaded to their rated capacities. Selecting PREMIUM rubber caster wheels means you do not have to give up the benefits of a resilient wheel (full floor and cargo protection) in order to get rollability. PREMIUM rubber caster wheels are dependable, require little or no maintenance, and improve efficiency in manually moved operations.
	SUPER CUSHION Rubber Caster Wheels SUPER CUSHION rubber caster wheels have a noise absorbing and shock isolating extra resilient soft rubber tread bonded to thick aluminum wheel centers. They are designed 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. They are more resilient than pneumatics with none of the maintenance problems associated with air filled wheels.
	Extra Soft Rubber Caster Wheels The extra soft rubber on these caster wheels helps to absorb vibration and shock, thus protecting the load or cargo while in transit. Another benefit of these extra soft rubber caster wheels is noise reduction. These caster wheels are designed for use in Hospitals, Electronic and Scientific Laboratories, Hotels, Department Stores, TV and Movie Studios - wherever vibration and noise should be eliminated.
	Conventional Moldon Rubber Caster Wheels These Conventional Moldon rubber caster wheels have soft rubber tires molded onto iron centers. Soft rubber provides more desirable operating characteristics than any other wheel material. It is quiet, absorbs shock (prolonging equipment life and protecting cargo), can roll over small objects, protects costly floor surfaces, and minimizes vibration. The Conventional Moldon rubber caster wheel falls short of perfection in its limitation under load - it does not roll easily.
	Gray Rubber Caster Wheels These caster wheels have gray non-marking injection molded rubber mechanically and chemically bonded to a polyolefin center. They are especially suited for use in Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Hospitals, Food Service and other Institutional applications. These caster wheels provide a softer ride than polyurethane and yet withstand exposure to many chemicals and solvents. They can be used in industrial applications which do not involve shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors or storage (standing) loads.
	All Polyurethane (Solid Poly) Caster Wheels These solid all polyurethane caster wheels are non marking and non conductive. The absence of a metal center eliminates bond failure as a cause for wheel replacement. These caster wheels are especially suited for use with stainless steel casters in wet and corrosive applications. They are designed for use in Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Hospitals, and Food Processing Plants - wherever a clean sanitary design is desired. These wheels are not recommended for applications involving shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, or for storage (standing) loads. Hardness is 70 - 75 Durometer, Shore D. Temperature range is -20° to 180° F. Standard color is Blue.
	Polyurethane Caster Wheels with Iron Centers Polyurethane is superior to rubber in resistance to grease, oil, cutting, chunking, and abrasive wear. These caster wheels can be used on almost any dry factory floor. As with moldon rubber, the bonding agent which holds the polyurethane tire to its iron center can be affected by exposure to some chemicals, impact, overloading, and the buildup of heat. Tire hardness is 90 to 95 Durometer, Shore A. Temperature range is -20° to 180° F. The principle benefit of a polyurethane wheel over the same size rubber wheel is increased capacity. Given the same size load on a smooth floor, a polyurethane caster wheel rolls easier than the same size conventional rubber caster wheel.
	Polyurethane Crown Tread Caster Wheels with Aluminum Centers (PCA) These non-marking wheels are easy rolling and can be used on both hard floors and carpet. The crown shape of the tread allows the wheel to roll on carpet without bunching up the carpet in front of its path. When used in a swivel caster, it also enables the swivel to rotate easier than with flat tread wheels. The Extra Large Sealed Precision Ball Bearings in these wheels are maintenance free and prevent grease from coming in contact with floors. All of these features, taken together, make these wheels the most cost effective over the long run.
	Polyurethane Caster Wheels with Polyolefin Centers These caster wheels are non marking injection molded polyurethane tires mechanically and chemically bonded to a polyolefin center. They are especially suited for use in Research Laboratories, Hospitals, Food Service, Schools, Bakeries and other Institutional applications. These caster wheels are easier rolling than Gray Rubber on smooth floors. They withstand exposure to many chemicals and solvents. They can be used in industrial applications which do not involve shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors or storage ( standing ) loads.
	Phenolic Caster Wheels Phenolic caster wheels are made from heavy weave canvas duck, impregnated with phenolic resin, and molded under high pressure and temperature. Its hardness is comparable to polished maple flooring. Phenolic caster wheels are recommended for smooth concrete or wood floors, and can be used for storage (standing) loads without permanent set. These caster wheels are highly resistant to oil, grease, water, mild acids, and animal fat. They are affected in various degrees by strong acids and some alkaline solutions. Temperature range is -20° to +250° F, with intermittent use up to 300° F. Phenolic caster wheels will carry loads as great as the same size iron wheel. The wheel material may chip or cut from contact with steel plate or from rolling over steel parts on the floor. The wheel tread may show wear from repeated travel over rough surfaces. Phenolic caster wheels are best for loads beyond the capacity of the same size rubber wheel. Floor wear is slight except where floors are already starting to deteriorate.
	Polyolefin Caster Wheels These polyolefin caster wheels are especially suited for use in wet and corrosive applications. They are injection molded from a blend of thermoplastic polymers, forming a one piece solid sanitary design. Temperature range 30° to +180° F. In a cold dry environment, such as in a refrigerated storeroom, polyolefin may become brittle. Caster wheels are standard with a plain bore, Delrin bearing, or a Roller bearing. Polyolefin is very resistant to many commonly encountered liquids.
	High Temperature Caster Wheels A new high temperature special material designed specifically for autoclaves, sterilizers, bakery ovens, and other high temperature applications. These solid black caster wheels come only with a hard surface tread designed for high capacity and easy rolling on smooth floors. Temperature rating: 450° F continuous. The solid wheel design eliminates tire separation as a cause for wheel replacement. These caster wheels are not brittle like high temperature fiberglass wheels, and are more resistant to damage from impact. They have zero maintenance plain bores, designed to rotate on a stainless steel spanner bushing. Stainless bushings must be ordered separately.
	Gray Iron (Semi-Steel) Caster Wheels These iron caster wheels provide high capacity and are less expensive than forged steel caster wheels. They are practical for use on wood block or hardened smooth concrete. On untreated concrete they tend to cause rapid floor deterioration. Although the treads are machined smooth to minimize floor wear, iron caster wheels are not recommended where floor or cargo protection is needed. Gray iron is a tough, long wearing material, but it does not have the impact strength of ductile or forged steel. These caster wheels withstand shock and impact in all but the most severe applications.
	Ductile Steel & Forged Steel Caster Wheels Where loads are too heavy for floor protective wheels, or where unusually severe service factors are present, forged steel & Ductile steel caster wheels will do the job. Usually in these applications the user will not consider floor wear as too great a penalty considering the work that is being done. Forged steel caster wheels will damage most factory floors, and thus are generally used on steel plate, in channel, or as V-groove wheels rolling on angle iron track. Forged steel & Ductile steel caster wheels have high ductility and tensile strength, and thus can absorb shock or impact without failure. These solid (spokeless) wheels are unbreakable in normal service. Their load ratings are limited by bearing capacity only.
	All Stainless Steel Caster Wheels (SS) Solid Stainless Steel with Stainless Steel Roller Bearings. Capacity up to 1500 lbs. per wheel. Available in 4" x 2" and 6" x 2" Sizes.
	V-Groove Caster Wheels V-groove caster wheels are designed to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron track. Elevated track minimizes problems caused by floor debris. The relief groove at the base of the "V" equalizes the load on each face of the angle. Forged Steel V-groove caster wheels minimize wear of the V-groove sides and are best for frequent operation. When not operating on track, the considerable wheel tread on each side of the V-groove allows for use on smooth floors. It is important that if more than one track is used they are parallel, straight and level. Otherwise V-groove wheels may bind or run up over the track.
