Usually selected for its shock absorbency capabilities where floor surfaces may be rough or uneven. Rubber tyred wheels combine the features of good load capacities, low noise level and the ability to withstand rough conditions.

Their excellent resilient properties mean substantially reduced vibrations transmitted through the wheels.

They are available in a number of varieties, each with their own unique benefits:

Black Rubber
a) moulded onto a painted black cast iron centre with roller or ball bearings
b) solid rubber with plain acetal bearings (the most common and economical type)
c) rubber tyre assembled onto split discs (demountable) with roller or ball bearings.

Hard Rubber (Lemcolite, suffix L)
The increase in hardness provides higher capacities than standard black rubber and lower rolling resistance

Grey Rubber
The same properties as black rubber but with the advantage of being non-marking and having higher resilience

Blue Rubber
Non-marking and extreme high resilience that provides the best ride on rough surfaces

Under normal operating conditions, the effective temperature ranges for rubber is between -10°C and +60°C.

Most wheels used in Super, Extra Heavy and Heavy Industrial castors are moulded onto a cast iron centre that has been machined to a unique pattern. This design increases the bonding surface and reduces the possibility of the rubber delaminating under side load.
