WHEELS
Forged Steel (Up to 20,000 lbs.)
RWM manufactures these wheels by hot forging them from medium car-
bon steel providing maximum strength and durability. RWM Forged Steel
wheels are virtually indestructible within their capacity range. RWM Forged
Steel wheels can be used in the roughest, most demanding, abusive appli-
cations on the poorest floors under the heaviest loads.
Omega (Up to 2,000 lbs.)
The Omega wheel is developed for towline caster applications within
manufacturing plants to provide noise reduction and shock absorbing
capabilities through a special web/spoke design. The Omega can travel
smoothly over rough surfaces and objects effortlessly. The Omega wheel
will provide longer service life, reduce maintenance cost, reduce noise and
can carry loads at high speeds smoothly.
Urethane on Aluminum (Up to 1,500 lbs.)
The Urethane on Aluminum wheels roll easier and outlast rubber wheels.
The aluminum core will not rust, but can corrode when exposed to certain
cleaners and solvents. However, these wheels offer outstanding abra-
sion resistance, oil, and chemical resistance. In addition, these wheels are
non-marking and protects floors.
Urethane on Iron (Up to 9,000 lbs.)
RWM’s Urethane on Iron wheels have an iron core that is a heavy duty sol-
id web design with an oversized hub, enabling it to be machined for special
bearings or a keyway. They will outlast rubber wheels. In addition, these
wheels are non-marking to floors and provide a quiet ride compared to
hard tread or steel wheels.
Ultra Thick Urethane (Up to 10,300 lbs.)
The Ultra Thick Urethane wheel’s thick tread reduces contact stresses in the
polyurethane during high loading and towing. Ultra Thick Urethane wheels
provide a softer ride and quiet operation due to the thickness of the tread
and are good for towing applications. The urethane tread is non-marking to
floors and resistant to abrasion and most chemicals.
