Medium Duty Castor Wheels
Wheel 125 mm
The Duratech silent wheel features a 125 mm diameter with a 36 mm wide polyamide tread and incorporates a damping, hybrid material body construction. The wheel is equipped with a roller bearing system and has a hub length of 44 mm with a 12 mm axle hole diameter. It offers a dynamic load capacity of 200 kg at speeds up to 4 km/h and a static load capacity of 400 kg, making it suitable for demanding industrial castor applications requiring both durability and noise reduction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Medium Duty Castor Wheels
Medium duty wheels are engineered for the 150 kg to 500 kg per wheel range, bridging the gap between light and heavy solutions. They deliver the strength needed for substantial loads while maintaining smooth, responsive mobility – a dependable choice for industrial transport, commercial equipment, service carts and other applications where consistent stability is essential. For rated performance, pair the wheel with an appropriately specified castor housing. TENTE medium duty castor wheels provide various key benefits:
Robust Construction – Built from durable cores and abrasion-resistant treads, medium duty wheels withstand frequent use, impacts, and mixed floor conditions. The result is dependable mobility and a long service life.
Individualised Rolling Behaviour – Choose from softer treads that protect delicate surfaces and damp vibration, or harder compounds that minimise rolling and swivel resistance on smooth industrial floors. Diameter and tread width can be selected to fine-tune starting forces, noise, and ride quality.
Various Bearing Options – Available with plain, roller, or precision ball bearings, these wheels keep push/pull forces low and rolling smooth over long shifts. Sealed options help protect against dust, moisture, and cleaning agents to extend service intervals.
Types of Medium Duty Wheels
Medium duty castor wheels come in a wide variety of designs to meet the demands of different load requirements, floor conditions, and other environmental conditions. Whether you require noise reduction, abrasion resistance, electrical discharge protection, or washability, there is a medium duty solution to match. By selecting the right combination of wheel material, wheel size, bearing type, and the type of housing to pair the medium duty wheel with, you can optimise both performance and service life for your specific application. Below are some of the commonly used types of medium duty castor wheels and their key advantages:
Medium Duty Rubber Wheels
Medium duty rubber wheels are available in a variety of compounds and tread designs – from soft, elastic blends offering excellent floor protection and comfort to harder, wear-resistant rubber treads optimised for durable and efficient rolling. Among our product offerings, PJP wheels stand out as a prime example for medium duty rubber wheels. These wheels combine a polypropylene wheel body with our TENTEprene non-marking thermoplastic rubber tread, and a precision ball bearing. Medium duty versions are available in 160 mm and 200 mm wheel diameters and provide a load capacity of up to 160 kg per wheel.
Medium Duty Polyurethane Wheels
Medium duty polyurethane wheels are known for their high wear resistance, efficient rolling as well as swivel performance, and adaptability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. These wheels are available in different compounds and hardness levels. For best results, pair medium duty polyurethane wheels with an appropriately rated castor housing to achieve the desired load rating and stability. Polyurethane wheels are mainly known for load capacities in the heavy duty range. However, our portfolio also includes certain configurations that can be considered medium duty. From our range, the ITP wheels illustrate the medium duty category perfectly. These wheels combine an aluminium wheel body with a casted polyurethane tread and a precision ball bearing – with most wheels from this series, however, being capable of handling loads beyond the 500 kg per wheel range.
Fields of Application for Medium Duty Castor Wheels
Medium-duty wheels are the go-to choice where strength and manoeuvrability must coexist across industrial, medical, and commercial settings. In manufacturing, they for example, equip transport equipment, production trolleys, and mobile workbenches, carrying substantial loads while preserving controlled handling on busy routes. In logistics, they support roll cages, roll pallets, heavily loaded shopping trolleys, and more. For hygiene-critical environments – such as hospitals, laboratories, and food processing – medium duty castor wheels can be combined with stainless or washable housings to meet cleaning and corrosion-resistance requirements. In commercial spaces, they keep mobile shelving, display units, and catering carts stable and easy to position on varied floor finishes. Performance is dialled in by selecting the appropriate tread material, diameter/width, and bearing package – and by pairing the wheel with a suitably rated castor housing. This ensures reliable mobility from polished indoor floors to rougher access ways, making medium duty wheels a versatile solution wherever durability, adaptability, and smooth operation are non-negotiable.
