The blue tire (tread) on the Road Case Caster wheel is a flexible elastomer. What makes this elastomer special is its ability to bounce. Resilience in a wheel material is a necessary feature in order to protect the cargo being moved. The tire on this wheel is a resilient synthetic elastic rubber. It provides the performance of a cushion ride without the expense associated with a tire made using natural rubber. The tire is chemically bonded to a heavy duty impact resistant industrial grade polyolefin core (center).

The Road Case Caster wheel got its name because it was specifically designed to withstand the kind of conditions road cases are typically exposed to. It will roll over cords, thresholds, up and down ramps, over uneven surfaces such as asphalt and truck ramps, and other obstructions. This wheel is also great for other applications such as to move lighting fixtures, computers, and audio visual equipment. It is the 4″ diameter wheel of choice for many applications in Scientific and Electronic Laboratories, TV and Movie Studios, Hospitals, Hotels, and Department Stores. The Road Case Caster wheel is ideally suited to move fragile or delicate cargo, and wherever noise and vibration should be reduced.

The Road Case Caster wheel comes only in a 4″ diameter. If you need a 5″ or  6″ or 8″ diameter wheel with the same performance characteristics as the Road Case Caster wheel check out our Blue Ergonomic Rubber Caster Wheels.
