FAQ

phenolic caster wheel for industrial casters

What makes the Phenolic Caster Wheel a good industrial wheel for heavy duty casters in static load applications?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel is a hard composition, non-marking heavy duty wheel in 4”, 5”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, 14”, 16”, and 18” diameters, perfect for heavy duty casters supporting heavy stationary loads like platform trucks or storage racks without developing flat spots on smooth concrete floors.

How does the Phenolic Caster Wheel handle heavy loads as an industrial caster wheel for material handling?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel carries loads like an iron wheel, up to 8,000 lbs in 16”x4” straight-sided, withstands shock loads and impacts, and won’t develop flat spots, making it a reliable industrial wheel for high static loads in material handling applications like warehouse carts.

What specific applications are best for the Phenolic Caster Wheel as a heavy duty wheel?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel excels as an industrial wheel in applications like bakery ovens, curing ovens, platform trucks, storage warehouses, and material handling carts on smooth concrete, where heavy duty casters need to support high standing loads with infrequent movement in dry factory settings.

How long can the Phenolic Caster Wheel last in a storage warehouse as an industrial wheel?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel can last over 20 years in a storage warehouse as a heavy duty wheel, thanks to its hard composition and ability to resist flat spots under heavy stationary loads on smooth concrete in dry conditions.

What environments should avoid using the Phenolic Caster Wheel for casters and wheels due to moisture?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel isn’t suited for environments with standing water or excessive chemical exposure, as phenolic can absorb water and chemicals over time and fail, making it a poor choice for industrial wheels in wet settings unlike dry storage warehouses.

What bearings are available for the Phenolic Caster Wheel as an industrial wheel for heavy duty casters?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel comes with either roller bearings or precision sealed ball bearings, ensuring smooth operation for heavy duty casters with heavy loads on dry factory floors like curing ovens, enhancing its reliability as an industrial caster wheel.

What’s the temperature range for the Phenolic Caster Wheel as a heavy duty wheel in industrial settings?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel has a Shore D 90 durometer and operates from -40° to 250°F, with intermittent use up to 300°F, making it a suitable industrial wheel for settings like bakery ovens without extreme heat or cold for heavy duty casters.

What sizes and load capacities does the Phenolic Caster Wheel offer for casters and wheels in industrial applications?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel comes in 4”, 5”, 6”, 8” (2” wide), 10” (3” wide, 2,500 lbs), 12” (4” wide, 3,000 lbs), 14” (2” wide, 3,500 lbs), 16” (3” wide, 4,000 lbs; 4” wide, 8,000 lbs), and 18” (3” wide, 4,000 lbs) diameters, supporting heavy loads as an industrial caster wheel for material handling.

Why does the Phenolic Caster Wheel chip on rough surfaces when used as an industrial wheel for heavy duty casters?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel may chip or cut from steel plate contact or rough surfaces, causing slight floor wear if floors are already deteriorating—consider a laminated tread for 25% more capacity and better chip resistance in platform trucks as a heavy duty wheel.

What chemicals does the Phenolic Caster Wheel resist as an industrial caster wheel for dry environments?

The Phenolic Caster Wheel resists oil, grease, gasoline, and mild acids, making it a durable industrial wheel for heavy duty casters in dry factory environments like storage warehouses, but it’s affected by strong acids and some alkaline solutions.

How does the straight-sided design of the 16”x4” Phenolic Caster Wheel benefit heavy duty casters?

The 16”x4” Phenolic Caster Wheel with a straight-sided design supports up to 8,000 lbs, providing exceptional stability and load capacity as a heavy duty wheel for heavy duty casters in high-capacity applications like heavy material handling carts on smooth concrete.
