Where it fits. Thermoplastic polyurethane is the general-purpose upgrade tread. It is non-marking, resists oils and most mild chemicals, and carries more load than rubber at the same diameter without the noise of a hard tread. TPU holds its shape under sustained static load, so carts parked loaded overnight are less prone to flat spots.
Construction. The tread is molded to a polypropylene core. Hub width is 1-13/16″. Thread guards are fitted to keep string, film, and debris out of the bore. A 3/8″ steel dual precision bearing fits a 3/8″ axle.
Load and duty. The 250 lb rating is per wheel. Standard practice is to size a four-wheel set assuming three wheels carry the load, so this wheel supports roughly a 750 lb cart with margin for shock loading and uneven floors. Continuous operating range is -30°F to 140°F.
About Series 26. Series 26 wheels serve our medium duty industrial line at capacities from 180 lb to 425 lb per wheel, in smooth, soft-riding polyurethane or in TPR for wet and washdown environments such as food service.
