Heavy Duty Wheels
Wheel 200 mm
The Novatech castor wheel features a 200mm diameter with a 50mm wide polyurethane, casted tread and aluminium body construction. The wheel incorporates a precision ball bearing system with a 25mm axle hole diameter and 60mm hub length. Load capacity specifications include a static load rating of 1400kg, whilst dynamic load capacity varies with operating speed: 700kg at 4km/h and 560kg at 6km/h, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring reliable performance under varying load conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Heavy Duty Castor Wheels
Heavy duty wheels are engineered for demanding applications where each wheel must reliably support between 500 kg and 1,500 kg while still rolling smoothly and stably. Our wheels are built with reinforced materials and robust components, ensuring long-lasting performance even in the toughest environments. Performance depends on the full system, so the wheel should be paired with a suitably rated castor housing, the right bearing, and a hub/axle concept that matches your individual duty cycle and floor conditions. TENTE heavy duty castor wheels provide a variety of key advantages:
High Load Capacity – Wheel body, hubs, and tread materials are designed to carry substantial weights without excessive deformation, keeping the wheel round under static and dynamic loads. Correct pairing with the housing secures the final permissible load and lateral stability of the assembly.
Stable Movement – Optimised tread geometry and high-quality bearings lower starting and rolling resistance, so heavy loads can be moved with less push/pull effort. Selecting a wider tread and the appropriate wheel diameter improves straight-line stability and minimises vibration on longer runs.
Increased Durability – Hard-wearing treads and robust centres resist abrasion, cut/tear, and impact. This extends service life on rough floors, at thresholds, and in stop-start workflows.
Optimised Lifecycle Value – Options with sealed or protected bearings, temperature-appropriate greases, and corrosion-resistant components help maintain performance between maintenance intervals. The combination of long wear life and lower ergonomic effort translates into a stable total cost of ownership.
Types of Heavy Duty Wheels
Heavy duty castor wheels are available in a wide range of designs to meet different load requirements, floor conditions, and other environmental demands. Whether your priority is noise reduction, abrasion resistance, electrical discharge protection, or washability, there is a configuration to match. By selecting the right combination of wheel material, wheel size, bearing type, and the type of housing to pair the heavy duty wheel with, you can optimise both performance and service life for your specific application. Below are some of the commonly used types of heavy duty castor wheels and their key advantages:
Small Heavy Duty Castor Wheels
When installation space is tight but loads are substantial, low profile heavy duty castor wheels deliver impressive capacity with minimal overall height. TENTE TOP heavy duty polyamide wheels pair a rigid polyamide wheel body and tread, with precision ball bearings and a temperature range of –40 to +80 °C. Typical capacities reach 600 kg at Ø80 mm, 720 kg at Ø100 mm, and 840 kg at Ø125 mm per wheel, making them ideal where low-build solutions must still carry serious weight. These wheels are also available in larger wheel diameters, if required for applications that provide more installation space. Pairing with a suitably rated housing secures the final permissible load and lateral stability for the application.
Heavy Duty Rubber Castor Wheels
Heavy duty rubber castor wheels are chosen when shock damping and floor protection are as important as load rating. With cast-iron or steel centres and vulcanised elastic tyres or solid rubber treads, they combine compliant rolling with industrial durability. TENTE FVP wheels (cast-iron centre, 67 Shore A solid rubber) offer capacities of 600 kg at Ø200 mm, 810 kg at Ø250 mm, and up to 960 kg at Ø300 mm. For pressed steel centres and a vulcanised elastic-tyre tread paired with a precision ball bearing, the SEP series provides up to 600 kg at Ø200 mm. Select diameter and centre construction to balance carrying capacity, vibration behaviour, and service life – then pair with a matching housing for the required assembly rating.
Heavy Duty Polyurethane Wheels
Heavy duty polyurethane wheels deliver very low rolling resistance and high wear resistance under sustained loads – well suited to long runs, repeated start–stop cycles, and smooth industrial floors. TENTE FCP/ICP Ultratech wheel ranges combine cast-iron or aluminium centres with premium casted polyurethane. Representative capacities are 800 kg per wheel at Ø160–200 mm, with versions tailored for higher speeds up to 16 km/h. The right combination of wheel diameter, tread profile, and bearing precision – together with a housing rated for the duty cycle – ensures predictable handling and a long service interval even in demanding use.
Fields of Application for Heavy Duty Wheels
Heavy duty castor wheels are used in a wide range of industries, where durable mobility and high load capacities are integral. Our wheels combine reliable support with precision and flexibility to sustain even the most complex challenges and toughest environments. Heavy duty wheels are essential in industrial settings. Warehouse and logistics centres use them for transportation and storage of heavy objects using applications like pallet trolleys, roll cages, heavy-duty shelving units, and more, this way ensuring goods are handled efficiently. In medical and laboratory environments they support large devices, diagnostic equipment, sterilisation units, and mobile workstations that demand precise manoeuvring and hygiene-compatible builds. Retail and commercial spaces use them, for example, beneath heavy display units and movable counters where safe repositioning and floor care are essential. On construction sites and outdoor applications, heavy duty wheels carry mobile scaffolding, tool carts, and transport platforms over tougher surfaces and higher shock loads.
