Your Questions Answered: Mailun’s Products, Polyurethane Wheels & Applications

For automation, logistics, and material handling equipment that demands high durability, heavy-load capacity, resistance to oil/chemicals/extreme temperatures, and low maintenance for 24/7 operation, polyurethane wheels outperform rubber wheels as the superior choice—delivering longer service life, stable performance in harsh environments, and lower total cost of ownership.

Polyurethane wheels are available in PPDI, NDI, TDI, and MDI materials, offering characteristics such as friction resistance, tear resistance, good rebound, non-marking properties, and low rolling resistance. We also offer cleanroom-grade and anti-static wheels.

Polyurethane caster wheels are widely used in logistics for material handling, storage, and transportation scenarios—they are integrated into equipment like AGVs/AMRs, forklifts, warehouse carts, conveyor systems, and loading docks to enable smooth, durable, and efficient movement of goods. Specifically, their high load capacity supports heavy cargo, wear resistance withstands frequent use on concrete/metal floors, oil/chemical resistance adapts to workshop/logistics center environments with lubricants or cleaning agents, and low-noise operation ensures compliance with indoor workplace standards. Additionally, their excellent traction prevents slipping during high-speed or frequent start-stop cycles, while compatibility with steel/aluminum cores allows customization to fit equipment size and weight requirements, making them indispensable for optimizing throughput, reducing downtime, and lowering maintenance costs in modern logistics operations.
