Polyurethane-on-Poly (PU on PP)
Polyurethane-on-Polyolefin (PP) caster wheels from Aqqcess Globe Caster merge the best of two materials: a resilient polyurethane tread bonded to a lightweight yet strong polyolefin/polypropylene core.
This combination offers superior floor protection, low rolling resistance, and significantly higher load capacity than typical rubber or plain plastic wheels.
Our range covers wheel diameters from 1″×0.5″, 1.5″×0.5″, 1.5″×1″, 2″×1″, 2.5″×1″, 2.5″×1.5″, 3″×1″/1.5″, 4″×1″/1.5″/2″, 5″×1″/1.5″/2″, 6″×1.5″/2″, up to 12″×2.5″.
Load capacities range from light commercial use (≈ 20 lbs) to industrial/medium-heavy duty loads reaching up to 3300 lbs per caster when specified.
Temperature range is from −45 °C to 90 °C (approx. −49 °F to 194 °F) to meet U.S. standards.
Advantages:
✔ High load-bearing capacity far beyond rubber options
✔ Excellent floor protection: polyurethane tread distributes weight, minimizes floor damage and marks
✔ Low rolling resistance = better ergonomics, easier push/pull for users
✔ Durable polyurethane tread resists oil, solvents, abrasion and maintains performance under heavy use
✔ Cost-effective core (polyolefin/PP) keeps weight and cost down while maintaining strength
Applications & Industries:
Furniture casters for chairs, movable desks, display units — where quiet, smooth move and floor protection matter
Retail shopping cart wheels or display unit mobility in stores
Light/medium duty industrial carts, platform trucks, workstations
Heavy duty industrial equipment requiring higher capacity use on smooth concrete floors, manufacturing plants, logistics centers
Clean environments, office buildings and service areas where non-marking and easy move are essential
When to choose these wheels:
Select polyurethane-on-poly wheels when you need both floor-friendly performance and serious load capacity, and when your surfaces are smooth or semi-smooth.
Match the diameter, tread width and rig type to your mounting method (top plate, rigid or swivel, etc.) and load expectation.
These wheels from Aqqcess Globe Caster provide a smart balance of cost, performance and usability across commercial, retail and industrial environments.
