WHEEL INDEX

Click on Wheel type for technical details about each wheel.  There is a wide variety of wheels within each type so details can vary.  The information given here is just a basic guideline.  For exact details on any wheel, contact Mapp Caster.

Solid Elastomer Elastomer Wheels offer the highest abrasion resistance, maximum impact strength, and lowest possible rolling resistance.  Withstands nearly all chemicals, greases, oils, solvents and other compounds.  Solid elastomer means there is no chance of wheel tread separation caused by bond failure of tread and core.
Hard Rubber Hard Rubber wheels offer high load capacity and impact resistance.  The hard tread provides good mobility and is non-marking
Heateater (High Temp)
  • 550F Intermittent
  • Hi-Impact
  • Longer wearing than Hi-Temp phenolic
  • Kind to floors
Heavy Duty Plastic (Polyolefin) Polyolefin wheels are the most economical wheel option.  Their high-impact, lightweight construction is resistant to most chemicals and oils.
Light Duty Plastic (Polyolefin) Just like Heavy Duty Polyolefin wheels but for lighter loads.
Neoprene Soft, solid wheel is specially formulated with a premium compound to withstand wear and abrasion while resisting oil, grease, and most chemicals.  Soft tread is permanently molded to a hard center core for added strength and higher load capacities.
Phenolic Phenolic Wheels have high load capacity, are impact resistant and easy rolling. These wheels are non-marking for hand pushed or power towed applications on hard smooth floors are carpeting.
Pneumatic Pneumatic Wheels absorb shock and reduce vibration to protect sensitive equipment and cargo by providing a smoother ride.  The air cushion tread rolls over floor cracks, obstacles and uneven surfaces with ease.
Polyurethane Many types of Poly wheels from soft poly to very hard poly.  Some have polyolefin core and others have iron or aluminum core.
Retort
  • Extra heavy loads
  • Hard Plastic wheels won't crack or chip.
  • White wheels
  • -20F to +290F
Rubber on Metal Core Soft Rubber tread wheel with Iron or Aluminum Core.
Soft Rubber Soft Rubber wheels offer quiet mobility on hard surfaces and are non marking.  The soft tread combines a cushioned ride with maximum floor protection.
Steel-Metal Many types like Cast Iron, Sintered Iron,  Ductile Steel, Solid Steel.  Properties vary with type.
TPR Thermoplastic Rubber Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) wheels offer resistance to oils and chemicals and are great alternative to standard rubber wheels.  The tread is mechanically bonded to the core to eliminate separation.
