Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels are valued for their strength, rolling efficiency, and adaptability, making them suitable for a wide variety of applications. TENTE offers a broad portfolio of wheels in different polyurethane compounds and hardness levels, enabling individual solutions for diverse performance requirements. The ideal choice depends on factors such as floor conditions, load capacity, wheel size, and the type of castor housing used.
TENTE polyurethane castor wheels offer several key benefits:
High Wear Resistance – Polyurethane wheels are known for their excellent resistance to abrasion and cutting, providing long service life even in demanding environments. Harder compounds further enhance durability under high-load conditions.
Efficient Rolling Performance – With lower rolling resistance than many other wheel materials, polyurethane wheels make it easier to move loads smoothly and with less effort. Harder treads improve energy efficiency, while softer compounds balance comfort and control.
Vibration and Noise Dampening – Depending on tread hardness, polyurethane wheels can help reduce vibration and noise levels. Softer treads absorb more impacts for quieter operation, whereas harder treads prioritise rolling efficiency over damping.
Floor Protection – Non-marking polyurethane options protect sensitive surfaces and reduce wear on flooring, making them suitable for environments where maintaining surface quality is critical.
Types of Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels are available in a wide range of designs, tread hardness levels, and load capacities, allowing you to select the ideal solution for almost any mobility requirement. At TENTE, our portfolio covers options from compact wheels designed for smaller applications to robust solutions capable of handling high loads in demanding environments. While the tread material influences performance, the castor housing plays an equally important role in determining the mobility solution’s overall load capacity, stability, and longevity. Selecting the right combination of wheel and housing ensures smooth operation, safety, and long-lasting performance. Below are some of the commonly searched polyurethane wheels:
Soft Polyurethane Wheels
Soft polyurethane wheels are designed to prioritise comfort and surface protection. Their elastic compounds provide improved vibration damping, quieter rolling, and enhanced traction, especially on smooth or delicate floors. They are ideal for environments where noise control and reduced surface wear are essential. When combined with lightweight housings, they offer even more responsive handling, while pairing them with reinforced housings enables use in higher load scenarios without compromising ride comfort. Among our product offerings, the ICP wheels serve as a prime example. They use our premium Ultratech casted polyurethane, available in different tread hardnesses, with the softest being 75 Shore A. These soft polyurethane wheels are available with an aluminium wheel body and precision ball bearings.
Hard Polyurethane Wheels
Hard polyurethane wheels are optimised for durability, energy efficiency, and high load capacities. Their reduced rolling resistance makes it easier to move heavier loads with less effort, especially on smooth industrial floors. These wheels also provide exceptional resistance to abrasion, cuts, and wear, giving them a long service life under demanding conditions. Paired with robust housings, they are well-suited for heavy duty transport and continuous-use applications where longevity and efficiency are top priorities. Within our selection, FTP wheels stand out as a notable example. They combine a durable 92 Shore A casted polyurethane tread, with a cast iron wheel body and precision ball bearings. When combined with a robust housing, these hard polyurethane wheels are an ideal solution for demanding industrial applications.
Small Polyurethane Wheels
Small polyurethane wheels are designed for equipment where compact dimensions and precise manoeuvrability are required. Despite their smaller size, they deliver smooth rolling performance and can be configured to meet a variety of load requirements depending on the chosen tread hardness and housing type. Lighter housings make them ideal for lower load requirements, while pairing them with robust reinforced housings increases their strength and stability in more demanding environments. One representative product line in our range are our UAP wheels, available as small as 50 mm wheel diameter. These small polyurethane wheels combine a polyamide wheel body with an injected polyurethane tread and precision ball bearings. They are commonly used in our Agila, Levina, and Linea castor series.
Fields of Application for Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels are used across a wide range of industries thanks to their combination of durability, rolling efficiency, and adaptability. Their suitability for specific applications depends on factors such as tread hardness, wheel size, and the type of castor housing used. In healthcare environments, polyurethane wheels are often found on applications like medical carts, patient lifters, recliners, treatment chairs, hospital beds, and anything else where smooth, quiet rolling and reliable floor protection are essential. In the industrial sector, they support demanding applications like automated shuttle systems, heavy transport solutions, or machinery and workshop equipment, offering excellent wear resistance, low rolling resistance, and consistent handling even under substantial loads. For furniture and mobile applications, polyurethane wheels are integrated for example into catering carts, meal delivery systems, or store fixtures and displays, delivering controlled manoeuvrability, long service life, and a quieter rolling experience on sensitive floors. By selecting the right polyurethane compound, tread hardness, and matching them with suitable housings, TENTE polyurethane wheels can be configured to perform reliably — from precision-driven healthcare equipment to high-capacity industrial transport solutions.
