Ergo GT Elastomer Wheels
Heavy-Duty Wheels
RWM’s GT Solid Elastomer Wheels are thermoplastic rubber wheels that we engineer to provide superior performance when transporting heavy loads. Comprised of a durable blend of elastomers, our advanced wheel design incorporates sealed precision ball bearings hardened to a 75-durometer Shore D standard. This creates a wheel that offers a carrying capacity between 900 pounds and up to 3400 lbs.
Designed to resist most chemicals found within industrial and institutional environments, our wheels are suitable for a broad range of industries and applications. Our GT wheels require minimal maintenance and won’t break down under the weight of continuous operation. Moreover, the shock-absorbing design provides exceptional rollability with minimal effort in the most extreme hot and cold temperatures. Once installed, the GT wheels move freely over all surfaces and are designed to minimize tread wear which extends the serviceable lifespan of the wheel.

Advantages of Elastomer Wheels
There are many reasons to choose elastomer wheels for your operations, including:
- Reliable rollability over all surfaces
- Supports significant loads without negatively impacting handling characteristics
- Unaffected by extreme heat/cold (-40° to +275°F)
- Resistant to chemicals, grease, oil, and solvents
- Extraordinary shock absorption
- Cushioned ride over uneven surfaces
- Maintains constant load balance
- Supports considerable weight
- Minimizes physical exertion
- Minimizes tread wear and won’t develop flat spots
- One-piece construction requires minimal maintenance
- Improves control and steering
- Non-marking, which protects flooring and other surfaces
