Benefits of Nylon, Plastic & Phenolic Wheels for Industrial Applications

There are many reasons to choose our cost-effective nylon, plastic, or phenolic wheels for your operations. Among these are the most important benefits you will enjoy, including:

  • Durability: The durability of our nylon, plastic, and phenolic wheels protects valuable equipment, ensures safe transport of raw materials and finished goods, and translates to lower operating costs.
  • Load Capacity: This translates to easier maneuverability, less frequent replacement, and less risk of wheel malfunction and breakdown.
  • Chemical resistance: The composition of nylon, plastic, and phenolic wheels makes them exceptionally resistant to various chemicals, including detergents, abrasives, acids, ammonia, and sanitizers.
  • Impact absorption: Our wheels will absorb impacts over rough flooring and against obstacles, which helps protect loads and minimize strain on the operator.
  • Reduced push/pull force: One of the most important benefits is the reduced push/pull force offered by our wheels. This minimizes wear and tear and helps protect employees from injury.

Different Types of Nylon, Plastic, and Phenolic Wheels and Their Uses

RWM offers a broad selection of precision-engineered nylon, plastic, and phenolic wheels. When you want reliable performance and quality you can depend on, the following are some of our most popular products:

  • Durastan phenolic wheels reign supreme as our inventory’s most economical caster wheel solution. The design incorporates phenolic resin compounds, which create remarkable strength and wheel density, and a finished wheel that can effortlessly support loads of up to 8,000 pounds. Durastan phenolic wheels are engineered to resist degradation and corrosion, making them ideal for wet and cold environments. These wheels perform exceptionally well on all floor types and conditions. However, they should not be used on resilient tiles or for high-speed towing applications.
  • Polyolefin wheels are water- and chemical-resistant. They are also remarkably resilient against impact. Such qualities make these plastic trolley wheels appropriate for more applications than any other wheel type.
  • Pinnacle thermoplastic wheels are made from ultra-tough, glass-filled nylon. They offer extreme durability, high impact resistance, and non-marking qualities. They also roll more easily than many other hard-tread wheels and handle high load capacities of up to 1,400 pounds.
  • High-temperature nylon wheels , as their name suggests, can withstand hot settings. Use them continuously at 475 degrees F or intermittently at up to 550 degrees without fear of melting. These high-temperature caster wheels have excellent impact resistance at room temperature and load capacities of up to 1,400 poundss.
  • Ergo GT wheels are the best solid elastomer wheels found anywhere. They incorporate proprietary elastomers and a precision-engineered wheel design that supports loads of up to 3,400 pounds. without fail. Ergo GT wheels roll with minimal effort and absorb impacts that would easily shatter less capable wheels. The Ergo GTs provide reliable performance at temperatures up to 275 degrees F and are nearly maintenance-free.
  • Ultron wheels are built to carry up to 16,500 pounds. These are incredibly heavy-duty wheels designed for transporting tremendous loads. They offer excellent rollability and are gentler than steel and iron wheels on floors. Plus, our Ultron wheels are proudly made in the USA.

Maintenance Tips for Wheel Longevity

Even “maintenance-free” casters require a little TLC to ensure performance and longevity. When it comes to nylon, plastic, and phenolic wheels, there are certain universal maintenance requirements to consider, including:

  • Regularly ensure the wheels are properly lubricated and that the wheel rolls and swivels freely. If lubrication is required, use a high-quality, all-purpose grease suitable for your working environment.
  • Clean casters and regularly inspect for signs of corrosion and damage.
  • Inspect the swivel assembly and fasteners to confirm everything is secure and free of damage.
