Dual wheel casters are a superior choice for demanding heavy duty industrial applications. At Caster City, we specialize in providing heavy duty dual wheel caster solutions that distribute weight evenly across two wheels mounted side by side on a single swivel assembly. This design not only boosts stability and load capacity but also ensures smoother rolling on various surfaces, from smooth concrete floors to textured carpets. Ideal for industrial carts, furniture, and medical equipment, dual wheel casters minimize wear and tear while offering unparalleled durability—tailored to meet the needs of businesses seeking reliable, long-lasting performance without compromising on ease of use.

One of the key advantages of dual wheel casters is their innovative differential action, which allows the two wheels to rotate independently at different speeds or even in opposite directions during turns. This mimics the functionality of a vehicle differential, enabling the inner wheel to slow down or reverse slightly while the outer wheel spins faster to cover more ground. As a result, scuffing and scrubbing; common issues with single-wheel designs that can damage floors and cause unsightly marks — are dramatically reduced. Our dual wheel models promote easier rolling motion, protecting your floor surfaces and extending the life of both the casters and your flooring, making them perfect for high-traffic environments like warehouses, hospitals, and offices where floor preservation is essential.

Finally, dual wheel casters excel in reducing the forces required to change direction, making maneuvering heavy loads effortless and efficient. With less “wheel scrubbing” during pivots, you’ll experience lower pushing or pulling effort, which translates to reduced user strain and improved productivity in fast-paced settings. At Caster City, we manufacture these casters with premium polyurethane on iron center, forged steel wheels, ultra high capacity nylon wheels, and ductile steel wheels with a variety of bearing choices to suit any application. Bearing choices include, needle roller bearings, precision sealed ball bearings, or tapered roller bearings.

Polyurethane on Iron Caster Wheel from Caster City

Caster City’s PYH Industrial Caster Wheel is engineered for heavy-duty applications, featuring an extra thick ¾” polyurethane tire bonded to a robust cast iron core for superior load capacity and extended lifespan. Available in diameters from 6” to 12” and tread widths of 3” or 4”, the PYH wheel is designed to handle higher load ratings and more demanding conditions than standard polyurethane wheels of its size. Its Shore D 60 (+/- 5) durometer provides a harder tread, making it particularly suitable for supporting static loads while resisting flat spotting, provided the load does not exceed 70% of the wheel’s rated capacity in static applications.

The PYH wheel’s green polyurethane tire, combined with its heavy iron center, ensures durability and the ability to withstand arduous industrial environments. It offers a variety of bearing options, with tapered roller bearings as standard, and sealed precision ball bearings or roller bearings also available to optimize performance across different applications. The thicker tire enhances the wheel’s capacity to carry heavy loads and endure more abuse than comparable polyurethane wheels, making it an excellent choice for manufacturing, warehousing, or other high-demand settings where reliability is critical.

With a temperature range of -40°F to 180°F, the PYH Industrial Caster Wheel is built to perform in diverse conditions while maintaining its structural integrity. The harder durometer and extra thick tire design provide exceptional support for static loads, ensuring stability and longevity. For heavy-duty applications requiring a balance of high capacity, durability, and performance, the PYH wheel stands out as a top solution.
