Polyurethane or Urethane on Polypropylene Wheels (UP)
Urethane on Polypropylene Wheels are very popular, attractive, lightweight and extremely durable wheels used in countless applications. The combination of both materials provides for a long lasting, longwearing wheel that is impervious to water (including salt water), resistant to oils, grease, most solvents and chemicals. These polyurethane wheels are typically used in commercial, industrial and food service applications. The polyurethane tread is non-marking and offers a quiet ride, floor protection and excellent capacity ratings. These polyurethane wheels have a slight crown so that they maneuver very well. They are used in large numbers in the retail industry, shopping carts, platform trucks, etc. and can be washed down offering excellent sanitary applications. The polyurethane is mechanically bonded to a high-density polypropylene core. This mechanical bond eliminates bond separation in wet or submerged conditions. These polyurethane wheels provide a smooth ride over rough surfaces.

The Torus Wheel™ is an exceptional wheel for continuous towline applications. It was developed specifically for automotive manufacturing assembly lines. RWM’s premium PTMEG urethane is both chemically and mechanically bonded to a strong aluminum core. This prevents tread separation and ensures maximum service life especially in demanding continuous use applications. The Torus Wheel™ has an aluminum core that provides a lightweight, long-lasting attractive alternative to cast iron. This wheel offers excellent floor protection, noise reduction and is able to roll over small debris.
