Product Information

Full details

This Draper heavy-duty polyurethane wheel is designed for applications requiring robust load-bearing capacity and durability, ideal for trolleys, carts, and industrial equipment. Its key benefit is the high tear strength polyurethane construction, offering superior longevity and load support compared to rubber alternatives. A potential caveat is its specific weight capacity, requiring careful consideration for intended use. Key features include a swivel plate fixing for maneuverability, a steel wheel center, needle roller bearing for smooth operation, and a grease nipple for easy maintenance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this wheel can support?

The wheel has a Static Working Load (S.W.L.) of 250kg.

What material is the wheel tread made of?

The wheel tread is made from high tear strength polyurethane.

How does the swivel plate help?

The swivel plate allows the wheel to rotate 360 degrees, providing excellent maneuverability for equipment.

How often should I lubricate the wheel?

It is recommended to lubricate the needle roller bearing via the grease nipple periodically, depending on the frequency and severity of use.

Can this wheel be used outdoors?

While durable, polyurethane wheels perform best on relatively smooth surfaces. Frequent use on very rough or abrasive outdoor terrain may accelerate wear. Ensure the environment is suitable for the load and operating conditions.

What is the advantage of polyurethane over rubber wheels?

Polyurethane offers up to twice the service life of rubber wheels, provides excellent load-carrying capacity, and is resistant to tearing and abrasion.

Does this wheel come with mounting hardware?

The product information does not specify if mounting hardware is included. It is typically supplied as the wheel unit only, requiring separate purchase of appropriate fasteners.

Troubleshooting

Wheel is stiff or difficult to turn

Check the grease nipple and lubricate the needle roller bearing. Ensure no debris is obstructing the swivel mechanism.

Swivel plate is not turning freely

Inspect the swivel mechanism for obstructions or damage. Clean any debris and ensure the mounting bolts are not overtightened, which could restrict movement.

Polyurethane tread shows signs of excessive wear

Ensure the wheel is not being used beyond its 250kg S.W.L. Check for abrasive debris on the floor surface and consider if the environment is suitable for polyurethane wheels.

Wheel emits noise during movement

This could indicate a dry bearing. Lubricate via the grease nipple. If noise persists, the bearing may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability due to high tear strength polyurethane.
  • Superior load-carrying capacity (250kg S.W.L.).
  • Enhanced maneuverability with swivel plate action.
  • Smooth operation thanks to needle roller bearings.
  • Low maintenance requirements with integrated grease nipple.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for heavy loads, may be over-specced for lighter applications.
  • Polyurethane can be less shock-absorbent than rubber on uneven surfaces.
  • Requires periodic greasing for optimal bearing life.
  • Fixed 100mm diameter may not suit all height or clearance requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, the swivel plate features mounting holes (dimensions not specified) that should be securely fastened to the base of the equipment using appropriate bolts and nuts. Ensure the fasteners are rated for the load capacity of the wheel.

Compatibility: This wheel is designed to replace existing castor wheels on equipment with a suitable mounting plate. Ensure the mounting dimensions and load requirements match the intended application. It is compatible with most industrial trolleys, carts, workbenches, and machinery requiring heavy-duty castor solutions.

Care:

  1. Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate the needle roller bearing via the grease nipple. Use a standard grease gun.
  2. Cleaning: Clean the polyurethane tread and wheel center with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the polyurethane.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the wheel for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Check that the swivel mechanism operates freely.
