The superior performance of polyurethane wheels for manual hydraulic handling vehicles

Manual hydraulic handling vehicles have been widely used in various workplaces such as printing factories, food factories, logistics and express centers, shopping malls and warehouses. It can be used in conjunction with pallets to efficiently transport various types and weights of goods. To adapt to the ground conditions of different work environments, hydraulic transport vehicles on the market are usually equipped with wheels made of various materials, among which polyurethane wheels and rubber wheels are the most common.

In recent years, polyurethane wheels have gradually shown a trend of replacing rubber wheels. This is mainly due to the superior performance brought by its chemical composition: polyurethane wheels have lower rolling resistance, load-bearing capacity can reach several times that of rubber wheels, while also having stronger tear resistance and being more environmentally friendly and durable.

In terms of lifespan, polyurethane wheels perform even better, with their durability, wear resistance, and durability giving them a longer service life. Under ideal conditions, its service life is conservatively estimated to be around 20 years.

However, the lifespan of wheels in actual use can be affected by various factors, including the weight of the transported goods, frequency of use, and the condition of the working ground. To extend its service life as much as possible, we recommend that users avoid overloading during use and operate it reasonably and in a standardized manner.
