Description
6″ Crown Green Polyurethane on Aluminum
The UAC Crown Tread Polyurethane on Aluminum Hub Wheel, now equipped with high-efficiency, maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings (non-stainless), is a non-marking industrial wheel tailored for heavy duty casters. It features a robust crown tread polyurethane tire with a 90 Shore A durometer hardness, chemically and mechanically bonded to a sturdy aluminum hub, available in green, with the 6” wheel supporting up to 1,000 lbs and the 8” wheel up to 1,200 lbs per wheel. Engineered for seamless directional changes, it offers superior load capacity and enhanced floor protection compared to hard composition or metal wheels, rolling more effortlessly than standard rubber caster wheels on smooth surfaces. Available in 6” and 8” diameters, this industrial caster wheel uses a wide crown tread and counter bored hub to reduce surface friction, requiring minimal effort to start, turn, or maintain a rolling load, and operates within a temperature range of -40°F to 180°F, making it ideal for dry factory floors where its lighter weight and medically associated green aesthetic outshine polyurethane on iron wheels.
This aluminum caster wheel for heavy duty industrial casters blends resilience and functionality, protecting floors more effectively than metal wheels while withstanding impacts and heavy loads. The green UAC wheel is especially suited for the medical waste industry and related sectors like healthcare or laboratories due to its professional, medically associated appearance, enhancing its appeal in these settings. Though not suited for shock, overloading, abuse, or prolonged stationary loads, the high-efficiency, maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings (non-stainless) deliver smooth, quiet operation in environments like warehouses, medical facilities, or hotels. The bonding agent securing the polyurethane tire to the aluminum hub may be affected by certain chemicals, excessive impact, overloading, or heat buildup from continuous use, so compatibility should be verified. The UAC wheel minimizes vibration and extends equipment lifespan, making it a top choice for material handling carts, warehouse equipment, and manually operated systems needing a semi-cushioned, low-effort rolling experience with a medical-grade look.
Equipped with non-stainless precision sealed ball bearings, the UAC wheel excels in demanding settings like medical waste processing, automotive plants, or manufacturing facilities, where its non-marking green tread and reliable bearings ensure consistent performance. Its quiet, smooth operation supports effortless mobility in hospitals, universities, or hospitality venues, while the durable aluminum hub tackles rigorous industrial tasks. This heavy duty industrial caster wheel is a reliable solution for diverse applications, from medical waste carts to automotive assembly lines, requiring both practicality and a medically associated aesthetic, delivering long-lasting, maintenance-free reliability.
Note: Certain chemicals may react with the aluminum hub, potentially causing bonding failure—contact Caster City for compatibility details.
