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.

FAQ
UAC Crown Tread Polyurethane on Aluminum Hub Wheel with Precision Sealed Ball Bearings (Non-Stainless)
What makes the UAC wheel with non-stainless precision sealed ball bearings effective for heavy duty industrial caster applications?
The UAC wheel, available in 6” (1,000 lbs capacity) and 8” (1,200 lbs capacity) diameters, features a 90 Shore A green polyurethane tread bonded to an aluminum hub, ideal for heavy duty industrial caster needs. Its high-efficiency, maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings (non-stainless) provide a smooth, quiet roll in warehouses, medical facilities, or manufacturing plants. The crown tread reduces friction, protects floors from damage, and outperforms rubber caster wheels, while the non-rusting aluminum hub ensures durability in dry environments. Note: Certain chemicals may react with the aluminum hub, potentially causing bonding failure—contact us for compatibility details.
Can the UAC wheel in 6” and 8” sizes function as a swivel plate caster in industrial settings?
Yes, the UAC wheel in 6” and 8” sizes is perfect for swivel plate caster setups in industrial environments like factories or warehouses. Its green polyurethane tread and high-efficiency, maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings (non-stainless) offer low-resistance, non-marking performance, supporting up to 1,000 lbs (6”) or 1,200 lbs (8”) per wheel. The aluminum hub and crown tread design enable easy maneuvering and floor protection, making it a prime choice for heavy duty industrial caster applications in busy settings.
Is the UAC wheel with non-stainless bearings suitable for industrial wheel applications in food processing environments?
Absolutely, the UAC wheel in 6” and 8” sizes performs reliably as an industrial wheel in food processing settings like bakeries or dairies. Its 90 Shore A green polyurethane tread, bonded to a non-rusting aluminum hub, withstands wear in dry, high-traffic environments, while the high-efficiency, maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings (non-stainless) ensure quiet, smooth operation. Supporting up to 1,000 lbs (6”) or 1,200 lbs (8”) per wheel, it protects floors and excels for heavy duty casters and wheels in demanding applications.
How does the UAC wheel in 6” and 8” sizes perform as an industrial caster in high-traffic environments like hospitals or hotels?
The UAC wheel, offered in 6” and 8” sizes, is a top-performing industrial caster for high-traffic settings like hospitals or hotels. Its non-marking green polyurethane tread, with a medically associated aesthetic, minimizes debris buildup, while high-efficiency, maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings (non-stainless) provide quiet, low-effort mobility, supporting up to 1,000 lbs (6”) or 1,200 lbs (8”) per wheel. The aluminum hub and crown tread ensure durability and floor protection, ideal for heavy duty industrial caster applications in public spaces.
Can the UAC wheel with non-stainless bearings handle heavy duty caster use in manufacturing or warehouse environments?
Yes, the UAC wheel in 6” and 8” sizes is built for heavy duty caster applications in manufacturing or warehouse environments. Its green polyurethane tread and non-rusting aluminum hub resist wear under heavy use, while high-efficiency, maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings (non-stainless) deliver smooth performance, supporting up to 1,000 lbs (6”) or 1,200 lbs (8”) per wheel. The crown tread protects floors, though chemical compatibility should be verified for specific applications.
Why is the UAC wheel a great choice for industrial carts moving 2,500 lbs or more in automotive and medical waste industries?
The UAC wheel, available in 6” (1,000 lbs) and 8” (1,200 lbs) sizes, is ideal for industrial carts carrying 2,500 lbs or more on four wheels in automotive, medical waste, or similar heavy duty industries.
