Polyurethane wheels for industry and logistics

Polyurethane wheels have become an integral part of modern industry. The exceptional properties of polyurethane make PU wheels a ideal solution for a wide range of applications. Whether in mechanical engineering, conveyor technology or intralogistics — polyurethane wheels from P+S ensure smooth and efficient operation. In doing so, you benefit from customer-specific solutions that are tailored to your individual challenges.

What are polyurethane wheels?

Polyurethane is a versatile plastic, which is characterized by its high load capacity, elasticity and abrasion resistance distinguishes. The material properties of polyurethane make it possible to produce PU wheels with different degrees of hardness and load capacities, which are precisely tailored to the respective requirements.

Differences of polyurethane wheels from other wheel materials

Compared to other materials, PU wheels offer significant advantages:

  • PU wheels are very heavy-duty.
  • There are no signs of abrasion and the level of technical characteristics is significantly higher.
  • Steel wheels are often very loud — PU-coated treads, on the other hand, are quiet.
  • The coating prevents a steel roll from running on a steel base or rail, which minimizes wear on the roller and the opposite surface (extended service life).
  • P+S offers cut-resistant systems, which are useful in many industrial applications, as contact with sharp edges does not immediately lead to failure.

The importance of choosing the right material for PU wheels

There are a wide variety of types of polyurethane, which differ in their properties and areas of application. When selecting the material, factors such as the expected load, environmental conditions and the desired lifetime must be considered. P+S has many years of experience in the development and manufacture of polyurethane wheels and can help companies select the optimal material for their specific requirements. You don't get a standard “off the shelf” solution, but a tailor-made solution that is tailored exactly to your needs.
