Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Nylon Wheels
TENTE nylon wheels combine strength, durability, and excellent rolling performance, making them a reliable solution for demanding mobility requirements. Nylon wheels are especially valued for their lightweight construction, high load capacity, and resistance to chemicals, moisture, and abrasion, ensuring consistent performance even under the toughest conditions. When deciding whether nylon wheels are the right choice for your individual use case, factors such as floor conditions, load capacity requirements, wheel size, and the type of castor housing used need to be considered to achieve the optimal mobility solution.
TENTE nylon castor wheels offer several key benefits:
High Load Capacity and Low Rolling Resistance – Nylon wheels are engineered to handle heavy loads while maintaining smooth and efficient rolling performance on hard, even surfaces. Their low rolling resistance makes them ideal for transporting goods effortlessly in environments with smooth, durable flooring.
Chemical and Moisture Resistance – Thanks to their non-porous and robust material properties, nylon wheels resist chemicals, oils, greases, and moisture. To guarantee optimal performance in demanding environments, they should be paired with the appropriate castor housing, ensuring full protection against corrosion and external influences.
High Durability and Low Maintenance – Built to withstand intensive use, nylon wheels offer outstanding resistance to abrasion, wear, and deformation. Their long service life reduces the need for replacements and lowers overall maintenance, ensuring a cost-effective and reliable mobility solution.
Types of Nylon Wheels
TENTE nylon wheels are available in a variety of designs, sizes, and load capacities, allowing you to choose the ideal solution for your specific mobility requirements. Our portfolio ranges from compact wheels for lighter weight applications to heavy duty nylon castor wheels engineered to handle extreme loads in demanding environments. While the material properties of nylon contribute significantly to rolling performance and resistance to wear, the choice of castor housing is equally important. The housing also determines the overall load capacity, stability, and durability of the mobility solution. By selecting the right combination of wheel and housing, you ensure smooth operation, safety, and long-lasting performance. Below are some of the frequently searched types of nylon wheels:
Heavy Duty Nylon Castor Wheels
Engineered to prioritize strength, dimensional stability, and high load capacity, heavy duty nylon castor wheels deliver efficient rolling on hard, even floors with minimal deformation under load. They’re a natural fit for demanding industrial use where stable, predictable steering and long service intervals matter. Pairing them with reinforced housings unlocks their full load potential and enhances stability in continuous duty, while precision ball bearings help maintain low push/pull forces and steady performance. Among our product offerings, the MOP wheels serve as a prime example. These wheels combine super heavy TENTE Duratech polyamide with a precision ball bearing. They are available in wheel diameters of 75 mm up to 400 mm, and in their largest configuration offer a static load capacity of up to 15.000 kg. MOP wheels are commonly used for example in our Omikron twin castor, which pairs these heavy duty nylon wheels with a robust cast iron twin wheel housing.
Small Nylon Wheels
Designed for compact installations and tight manoeuvres, small nylon wheels prioritise low rolling resistance, accurate positioning, and a minimal overall height. On smooth floors they provide precise, predictable handling and are ideal for light to medium duty applications where footprint and manoeuvrability are critical. Pair with lightweight housings to enhance agility; select reinforced housings when higher permissible loads are required within the same space constraints, without compromising control. One representative product line in our range are the UOO wheels. These small nylon wheels are available as small as 50 mm wheel diameter and combine a polyamide wheel body and tread with plain bearings. TENTE UOO wheels are commonly used for example in our Agila or Agila twin castors, which use a steel sheet single or twin wheel housing and offer various mounting and locking options. With their small overall height, these castors using nylon castor wheels are ideal for applications that only offer limited installation space.
Fields of Application for Nylon Wheels
Nylon wheels are used across multiple sectors due to their mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and cleanability. Their suitability for specific applications depends on factors such as wheel size, floor conditions, and the type of castor housing selected. For industrial use, nylon wheels are for example used on professional cleaning carts, machinery and workshop equipment, heavy transport solutions and more. In mobile and commercial contexts, nylon wheels are for example integrated in roll cages, dollies, and other retail logistics related applications. By selecting the right combination of nylon wheel and castor housing, TENTE nylon wheels can be configured to perform reliably - from hygiene-critical applications like professional cleaning carts to heavy duty industrial and mobile use cases.
