These caster wheels
have gray non-marking injection molded rubber mechanically and chemically
bonded to a polyolefin center. They are especially suited for use in
Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Hospitals, Food Service and other Institutional
applications. These caster wheels provide a softer ride than polyurethane and
yet withstand exposure to many chemicals and solvents. They can be used in
industrial applications which do not involve shock, overloading, abuse,
obstructions, poor floors or storage (standing) loads. |

The extra soft rubber
on these caster wheels helps to absorb vibration and shock, thus protecting the
load or cargo while in transit. Another benefit of these extra soft rubber
caster wheels is noise reduction. These caster wheels are designed for use in
Hospitals, Electronic and Scientific Laboratories, Hotels, Department Stores,
TV and Movie Studios - wherever vibration and noise should be eliminated. |

PREMIUM rubber caster wheels
have a special compound of highly resilient soft rubber bonded to thick
aluminum wheel centers. Unlike Conventional Moldon rubber caster wheels,
PREMIUM rubber caster wheels can be moved manually when loaded to their rated
capacities. Selecting PREMIUM rubber caster wheels means you do not have to
give up the benefits of a resilient wheel (full floor and cargo protection) in
order to get rollability. PREMIUM rubber caster wheels are dependable, require
little or no maintenance, and improve efficiency in manually moved
operations. |

More Information |
These Conventional Moldon
rubber caster wheels have soft rubber tires molded onto iron centers. Soft
rubber provides more desirable operating characteristics than any other wheel
material. It is quiet, absorbs shock (prolonging equipment life and protecting
cargo), can roll over small objects, protects costly floor surfaces, and
minimizes vibration. |

for More Information |
These solid all polyurethane
caster wheels are non marking and non conductive. The absence of a metal center
eliminates bond failure as a cause for wheel replacement. These caster wheels
are especially suited for use with stainless steel casters in wet and corrosive
applications. They are designed for use in Pharmaceutical Laboratories,
Hospitals, and Food Processing Plants - wherever a clean sanitary design is
desired. These wheels are not recommended for applications involving shock,
overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, or for storage (standing) loads.
Hardness is 60 - 65 Durometer Shore D. Temperature range is -20° to
180° F. Standard wheel color is Blue. |

These caster wheels are non
marking injection molded polyurethane tires mechanically and chemically bonded
to a polyolefin center. They are especially suited for use in Research
Laboratories, Hospitals, Food Service, Schools, Bakeries and other
Institutional applications. These caster wheels are easier rolling than Gray
Rubber on smooth floors. They withstand exposure to many chemicals and
solvents. They can be used in industrial applications which do not involve
shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors or storage ( standing )
loads. |

More Information |
Polyurethane is superior to
rubber in resistance to grease, oil, cutting, chunking, and abrasive wear.
These caster wheels can be used on almost any factory floor. As with moldon
rubber, the bonding agent which holds the polyurethane tire ( tread ) to its
iron center can be affected by exposure to some chemicals, impact, overloading,
and the buildup of heat. Tire hardness is 90 to 95 Durometer, Shore A for
wheels with prefix PY, PYR and PYC. Tire Hardness is 60 - 65 Durometer, Shore D
for wheels with prefix PHY. Temperature range is -20° to 180° F. |

These caster wheels have a
liquid cast non-marking polyurethane tire chemically bonded to a Glass-filled
Nylon core. Liquid cast polyurethane has a greater load capacity and tends to
be more durable than injection molded polyurethane. The Glass-filled Nylon core
prevents corrosion. These Polyurethane on Glass-Filled Nylon caster wheels
withstand exposure to water, oil, grease, most solvents and chemicals. They are
well suited for industrial, food processing, bakery, hospitals, schools and
pharmaceutical applications. |

for More Information |
Where loads are too heavy for
floor protective wheels, or where unusually severe service factors are present,
forged steel & Ductile steel caster wheels will do the job. Usually in
these applications the user will not consider floor wear as too great a penalty
considering the work that is being done. Forged steel caster wheels will damage
most factory floors, and thus are generally used on steel plate, in channel, or
as V-groove wheels rolling on angle iron track. |

Gray Iron
( Semi-Steel ) |

These iron caster wheels
provide high capacity and are less expensive than forged steel caster wheels.
They are practical for use on wood block or hardened smooth concrete. On
untreated concrete they tend to cause rapid floor deterioration. Although the
treads are machined smooth to minimize floor wear, iron caster wheels are not
recommended where floor or cargo protection is needed. Gray iron is a tough,
long wearing material, but it does not have the impact strength of ductile or
forged steel. These caster wheels withstand shock and impact in all but the
most severe applications. |

Machined Steel caster wheels
are precision machined from hot-rolled solid steel bar stock. These wheels are
highly resistant to shock loads and offer incomparable strength, durability and
performance. 3/4" Roller Bearings and 1/2" I.D. Spanner Bushings are
included. |

Phenolic caster wheels are
made from macerated canvas mixed with phenolic resin, and molded under high
pressure and temperature. Its hardness is comparable to polished maple
flooring. Phenolic caster wheels are recommended for smooth concrete and can be
used for storage (standing) loads without permanent set. These caster wheels
are highly resistant to oil, grease, gasoline and mild acids. It is not
recommended for wet applications where the wheel will be in standing water.
They are affected in various degrees by strong acids and some alkaline
solutions. Temperature range is -40° to +250° F, with intermittent use
up to 300° F. Phenolic caster wheels will carry loads as great as the same
size iron wheel. The wheel material may chip or cut from contact with steel
plate or from rolling over steel parts on the floor. |

These polyolefin caster
wheels are especially suited for use in wet and corrosive applications. They
are injection molded from a blend of thermoplastic polymers, forming a one
piece solid sanitary design. Temperature range 30° to +180° F. In a
cold dry environment, such as in a refrigerated storeroom, polyolefin may
become brittle. Polyolefin is very resistant to many commonly encountered
liquids. |

White Nylon Wheels are made
with a solid nylon material. Black Nylon Wheels are reinforced with glass fiber
to increase capacity and reduce friction when rolling. Select Nylon Wheels for
applications in which wheels are exposed to: Wash Down, Steam Cleaning, Salt,
Brine, Blood, Chemicals, Cleaning Solutions, Organic Solvents, Grease and Oil.
These wheels weigh very little yet they have a load capacity comparable to most
metal wheels. They will not rust or develop a flat spot. Nylon wheels are a
better choice in wet and corrosive applications which require both chemical
resistance and a higher load capacity. |

for More Information |
V-groove caster wheels are
designed to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron track. Elevated
track minimizes problems caused by floor debris. The relief groove at the base
of the "V" equalizes the load on each face of the angle. Forged Steel V-groove
caster wheels minimize wear of the V-groove sides and are best for frequent
operation. |

Air filled pneumatic wheels
are designed for low speed, manually moved applications. Air filled pneumatic
wheels provide a cushioned ride, shock absorption and quiet operation.
Pneumatic wheels are ideally suited for moving fragile or delicate cargo.
Pneumatic wheels are usually the best choice for use outdoors over rough
surfaces ( i.e. gravel ) or on grass. The wide footprint on 8" or larger
pneumatic wheels provides stability on gravel and does not sink into lawns.
