Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Light Duty Wheels
Light duty wheels are intended for applications with modest loads of up to 150 kg per wheel. They deliver stable, smooth rolling where heavy duty capacity isn’t required, without compromising on control or service life. Available across multiple materials, tread profiles, diameters, hubs, bores, and bearing types, they can be matched to floor conditions, environmental factors, and the needs of your application. For best results, pair the wheel with an appropriately rated castor housing to achieve the desired load rating and stability. TENTE light duty wheels offer various key benefits:
Agile, Precise Manoeuvrability – Engineered for easy handling, light duty castor wheels support smooth directional changes and controlled movement in tight spaces or with frequent repositioning. This makes day-to-day tasks faster and more predictable.
Ergonomic Performance – With the right bearing package and diameter, starting and rolling forces stay low – supporting better push/pull ergonomics and reducing operator fatigue over long shifts.
Rolling Behaviour Tailored to Your Floor – Choose compounds such as thermoplastic rubber, polypropylene, or polyurethane and the right tread geometry to balance low rolling resistance, noise levels, and floor protection. The proper diameter and width further refine stability and ride quality.
Types of Light Duty Wheels
Light Duty Plastic Wheels
Light duty plastic wheels are a go-to when you need low weight, corrosion-free construction, and efficient rolling on smooth, hard floors. Polypropylene wheel bodies keep equipment agile and economical, while the harder tread delivers easy starting forces – best where floor protection and noise are secondary to manoeuvrability. One representative product are our POO wheels. These wheels are fully made from polypropylene and use a plain bearing. Available in 65 mm, 75 mm, 80 mm, and 100 mm wheel diameter variations, POO light duty plastic wheels – depending on their size – are capable of handling loads of up to 140 kg per wheel, with 125 mm wheel diameter versions capable of handling even higher loads.
Light Duty Rubber Wheels
Light duty rubber wheels are designed to provide reliable mobility across a wide range of environments. By matching tread hardness to the floor type, you can keep rolling effort low while preserving surface finishes – ideal for frequent moves and dependable day-to-day service. Grip is compound-dependent: softer rubbers deliver higher adhesion and help mitigate slip on smooth or slightly uneven floors, while harder blends favour lower rolling resistance and easier starting forces. Where floor protection and quieter running are priorities, soft-tread light duty rubber wheels on polypropylene centres are an excellent fit. Within our selection, PIO wheels stand out as a notable example. These wheels combine a polypropylene wheel body with a non-marking solid rubber tread and a plain bearing.
Fields of Application for Light Duty Wheels
Light duty caster wheels are used wherever equipment benefits from smooth, controlled movement at lower loads. Typical uses include retail applications such as shopping trolleys, store fixtures, and mobile displays; healthcare equipment like anaesthesia carts, medication carts, and care beds; lighter industrial and workshop gear including production & platform trolleys, tool cabinets, and work benches; and logistics equipment such as roll cages and smaller transport carts. Selecting wheel material and diameter to suit the floor and duty cycle helps balance rolling effort, noise, and surface protection – for example, pairing harder treads with soft floors and softer treads with hard floors to achieve the desired handling and care profile.
