Where it fits. Phenolic is the workhorse tread for hot, dry environments. The wheel is molded from resin-impregnated fabric that resists most chemicals, water, and steam without softening, which is why it moves between a cooler and a hot oven without flat-spotting. Hard treads transmit floor irregularity, so specify phenolic where floors are smooth and sealed.
Construction. This is a solid phenolic wheel with no separate core. Hub width is 2-3/16″. A 1/2″ stainless steel dual precision bearing fits a 1/2″ axle.
Load and duty. The 1,000 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 3,000 lb cart with margin for shock loading and uneven floors. Continuous operating range is -20°F to 475°F.
About Series 40. Our medium and heavy duty wheels handle loads up to 1,500 lb per wheel, engineered with ergonomics and maneuverability in mind so that a loaded cart stays manageable across a wide range of environments.
