As highlighted in Hamilton Caster’s product description “DuraGlide® Wheels,” these premium polyurethane wheels are designed for heavy-duty applications that require superior rollability, higher speeds, and performance in outdoor or moist environments. With a 95A tread thickness ranging from 1” to 3”, DuraGlide® wheels roll up to 40% more efficiently than standard polyurethane wheels, making them ideal for industrial facilities, distribution centers, and other demanding environments.
Key Features of DuraGlide® Wheels:
- Superior Rollability:
DuraGlide® wheels are engineered for smooth, easy rolling, reducing the force required to move heavy loads by up to 40%. This makes transporting equipment faster and less labor-intensive, even at higher speeds. - Temperature and Moisture Resistance:
DuraGlide® wheels are highly resistant to moisture, making them ideal for outdoor use or humid environments. Additionally, the design minimizes heat buildup, allowing the wheels to remain cooler during prolonged use and under heavy loads. - Reduced Stress Fatigue:
The thicker polyurethane tread absorbs more pressure, lowering psi and extending the lifespan of the wheel by minimizing stress fatigue at the bond line. This ensures longer-lasting performance, even in challenging conditions. - Heavy-Duty Core:
The tread is molded onto heavy-duty black cast iron or forged steel centers, providing exceptional strength and durability. For lighter applications, aluminum centers are available, offering a balance of durability and weight reduction.
Custom Options for Diverse Applications:
DuraGlide® wheels are available in diameters ranging from 3” to 22” and can be molded onto various core materials, including cast iron, steel, or aluminum, to suit specific operational needs. These options provide flexibility for applications ranging from warehouse towing lines to outdoor transportation and industrial carts.
Ideal for High-Performance Environments:
DuraGlide® wheels excel in operations requiring:
- Outdoor mobility: Their moisture resistance and rugged build make them suitable for wet or outdoor surfaces.
- Heavy loads: Their robust design supports significant weight without deformation.
- High speeds: The low-heat design prevents overheating, making them reliable for fast-paced applications.
