The blue (“PA”) polyurethane on aluminum wheel was designed to support some of the highest loads we can offer with a 1-¼” wide industrial caster wheel.  This liquid cast blue polyurethane on aluminum wheel is offered in 1-¼” tread width only and is made in diameters 3”, 3.5”, 4”, and 5”.  The (“PA”) blue polyurethane light duty industrial caster wheel is made from a high quality liquid caster polyurethane and the aluminum center of the wheel will not rust, NSF rated.  Given the same size load on a smooth floor, a polyurethane caster wheel rolls easier than the same size conventional rubber caster wheel.  Polyurethane wheels are chosen when higher loads are needed to roll on floors due to offering more floor protection than what a hard composition caster wheel can.

Matching rigid caster to the swivel with the same 3” Blue Polyurethane on Aluminum wheel. Rigid casters are needed to help steer in a straight line.
