Description
Custom Extra Thick Tread PU Wheels for Heavy Abrasion – Heavy Duty PU Wheel for Conveyors, AGVs and Material Handling
Why Choose This Product
Our PU wheels are built with an exclusive extra-thick tread that outperforms conventional wheels in aggressive operating conditions. Key reasons to choose them include:
- An extra-thick PU layer, up to 28 mm, absorbs impact and slows tread wear on rough or abrasive floor surfaces.
- The high-rebound polyurethane compound maintains low rolling resistance, which reduces energy consumption and improves equipment efficiency.
- Dynamic balancing of 0.05 mm or better minimizes vibration, protecting the vehicle frame and supporting precise positioning.
- Non-marking silicone-coated and anti-skid tread options are offered for smooth conveyor roller applications, helping keep floors clean and operation safe.
These advantages translate into lower operating costs, fewer part replacements, and dependable uptime for multi-shift operations. The design has been verified in continuous load tests and is trusted by top material-equipment manufacturers across the world.
Typical applications: High-duty conveyor systems, automated guided vehicles, warehouse sorting lines, and heavy-load material handling platforms.

Material Properties – Extra Thick Tread PU Compound
Understanding the material behavior helps you select the right wheel for your application. The table below summarizes the key properties of our standard extra-thick tread PU compound.
| Property | Test Value | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Abrasion resistance | Weight loss ≤ 0.05 % (DIN 53516) | Extended service life in abrasive environments |
| Tear strength | ≥ 80 N/mm | Handles sharp edges and shear loads without cracking |
| Rebound elasticity | ≥ 45 % | Lower rolling resistance and reduced energy use |
| Compressive set | ≤ 10 % at 70 °C / 22 h | Maintains dimension under continuous heavy load |
| Hardness stability | Shore A ± 3° across batches | Consistent performance from batch to batch |
These values are based on our standard extra-thick tread PU compound and are verified in our in-house test laboratory. Custom hardness from Shore A 85° to 95° is available from our factory, allowing you to balance traction, wear life, and load capacity for your specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions – Extra Thick Tread PU Wheels
1. What makes your extra-thick tread PU wheels ideal for heavy-abrasion environments?
Our custom extra thick tread PU wheels for heavy abrasion are formulated with a high-wear-resistant compound. The thicker cross-section spreads the load over a larger area, reducing localized stress and significantly extending service life. In abrasion tests per DIN 53516, this material lost only 0.05 % weight, roughly one-third the wear rate of standard rubber wheels.
2. Can I customize wheel size, core material, and hardness for my AGV or conveyor system?
Yes. We support fully custom solutions. You can specify wheel diameter, tread thickness, core material, bearing type, and Shore A hardness between 85° and 95°. Our engineers will review your load, speed, floor condition, and duty cycle, then give you an expert recommendation before manufacturing.
3. Do you offer OEM/ODM and private-label branding?
Absolutely. As a professional custom manufacturer in China, we provide OEM/ODM support, including private-label packaging, custom tread colors, and logo marking. We can also develop an exclusive PU formula for your product line, protected under an NDA for your brand.
4. What is the minimum order quantity for custom PU wheels?
For standard sizes with minor adjustments, our MOQ is 50 pieces per model. For fully customized wheels with new tooling, the MOQ is typically 100 pieces. Sample orders of 2–5 pieces are available for your evaluation before mass production.
5. How long does delivery take after order confirmation?
Normal production takes 15–25 working days after design confirmation and sample approval. Urgent orders can be prioritized through our production planning team when capacity allows. Actual lead time may shift slightly due to raw material supply and peak manufacturing season, and we will communicate honestly throughout the process.
6. How is quality controlled during mass production?
Our ISO9001-certified facility follows a strict inspection chain: incoming material verification, in-process dimensional checks, and final performance testing for every batch. Each wheel is checked for hardness, dimensional tolerance, dynamic balancing, and surface finish before packaging.
7. What payment methods and export packing do you accept?
We accept T/T, L/C, and other secure arrangements. For export, wheels are packed in sturdy cartons with foam dividers and shrink-wrapped to prevent movement. Optional plywood pallets are available for sea freight, and cartons can be labeled with your logo or shipping marks.
