A mold-on rubber wheel has a rubber tread molded directly onto a metal or plastic core, giving quiet, cushioned rolling and good floor protection, at a lower load capacity ceiling than polyurethane or steel wheel options.
In the catalog, rubber wheels run roughly 105 to 1,140 lbs capacity — noticeably lower than polyurethane’s range. The tradeoff for that lower ceiling is a quieter, softer ride and better protection for delicate or finished floors.
Light-to-medium duty applications where noise and floor protection matter more than maximum load — carts in occupied spaces, hospitality, retail, and general office use.
Specifying rubber for heavy industrial loads. Check the capacity rating before assuming a rubber wheel covers your load — the catalog’s rubber wheel range tops out well below most polyurethane and steel options.

Are rubber wheels good for heavy loads?
Not typically — the catalog's rubber wheel capacity tops out around 1,140 lbs, well below polyurethane or steel wheel options.
Do rubber wheels mark floors?
Standard mold-on rubber can mark some floor finishes; non-marking gray rubber options exist specifically to avoid this.
Are rubber wheels quieter than polyurethane?
Generally yes — rubber's softer compound absorbs more sound and vibration.
