Description
1200kg Payload Capacity 16inch (406mm) Mecanum Caster Wheel – Exclusive Polyurethane Formula for Material Handling Equipment
Why choose this 16" mecanum caster wheel for your material handling line?
Full 360° omnidirectional control even under extreme loads. The wheel integrates a forged aluminum hub and rollers with our exclusive polyurethane coating – available with steel core for extra impact resistance. The unique polymer blend reduces rolling resistance and absorbs shock, keeping your AGV stable and lowering energy consumption (advantage: energy saving). Benefit: lower operating cost and longer equipment life.
We can tailor the roller compound (PU, NBR, EPDM, or silicone) and hardness (Shore A 30° to 95°, realistic range for heavy duty) to match your floor type and load speed. Dynamic balancing within ≤0.05mm is standard. ISO9001 certified process, oil and chemical resistant, and much quieter than steel‑on‑steel alternatives. As a professional supplier with custom solution expertise, we help you avoid early failure.
Typical applications where this wheel excels: Heavy‑duty AGVs (up to 4,800 kg vehicle weight), automotive skid transfer lines, warehouse pallet movers, container handling carts, and any material handling equipment that requires precise lateral movement.

About ZHXPRECI – Built for Heavy Material Handling
Our Story
Real Customers, Real Applications
Since 2010, ZHXPRECI has focused on one thing: building durable wheels for industrial automation and material handling equipment. We are a China‑based manufacturer and OEM/ODM supplier serving clients in over 50 countries. Unlike general wheel factories, we formulate our own polyurethane compounds – that means we control the performance from raw material to finished wheel. Customizations include roller hardness (with actual durometer report), steel core, special colors, and any bolt pattern. We don't just sell wheels; we help you avoid early failure in heavy AGV applications.

Certifications & Quality Assurance
Production & Inventory Policy – Honest & Practical
Lead time: Actual delivery time may vary due to raw material availability, machine scheduling, and peak season fluctuations. After order confirmation, we provide the most accurate estimate and keep transparent communication.
Stock status: We generally do not hold large finished‑goods inventory, but some popular standard models may have limited dynamic stock (which changes as sales and production progress). Please confirm real‑time availability with our team before ordering.
Bulk & urgent orders: For mass production or tight schedules, we recommend early discussion of capacity and production planning. We will do our best to support your timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions – 16" 1200kg Mecanum Wheel
1. Can the 1200kg load be applied continuously? What's the safety factor?
Our wheel is rated for dynamic load up to 1200 kg at speeds ≤2 m/s on flat floor. We recommend a safety factor of 1.2–1.5 for rough floors or impact. For continuous 24/7 operation, please share your duty cycle – we can suggest an upgraded steel‑hub version.
2. What makes your polyurethane formula "exclusive"?
We use a two‑part cast polyurethane system with proprietary additives that improve rebound resilience and reduce heat build‑up under high load. This results in lower rolling resistance and longer service life compared to standard off‑the‑shelf PU wheels. The formula is tailored for heavy material handling equipment, not general industrial use.
3. What is your typical MOQ for this 406mm model?
Sample orders (1‑4 wheels) are accepted for evaluation. For custom hardness or steel core, MOQ is 10 wheels. Bulk orders of 100+ wheels receive discounted pricing and faster lead time.
4. How do you prevent roller delamination under shock loads?
We apply a chemical primer and a mechanical locking groove on the aluminum core. The polyurethane is cast under vacuum to eliminate bubbles. Every batch undergoes a peel test. We haven't seen a single delamination claim in our heavy AGV projects since 2018.
5. Can I get a wheel with a custom mounting plate (bolt pattern, pilot diameter)?
Yes, that's a routine service for us. Send your 2D drawing or specify the dimensions (PCD, number of holes, thread type). We will quote the customization tooling fee (usually one‑time).
6. What is the typical lead time for a custom order of 20 wheels?
Assuming the raw material is available, typical lead time is 20‑25 days. Rush orders possible with extra cost (10 days). We always confirm a schedule before accepting payment.
7. Do you provide testing reports for each batch?
Yes, we issue a certificate of conformance including roller hardness, dynamic balance value, and load test result for the batch. Third‑party inspection (SGS, BV) can be arranged at buyer's cost.
8. What shipping methods do you recommend for Europe/USA?
For small quantities (≤4 wheels), express (DHL/FedEx) is fastest. For 20‑100 wheels, air freight or sea freight (LCL). For full pallets, sea freight (20ft container can hold ~600 wheels). We help you choose the most economical option.
9. Is there a warranty against manufacturing defects?
12 months from shipment date for manufacturing defects (delamination, premature cracking, abnormal wear). Normal wear, improper installation, or overloading is not covered. We stand behind our wheels – prompt replacement if our fault.
10. Can you help me calculate the total vehicle capacity for 4 wheels?
Absolutely. For a 4‑wheel AGV, the dynamic load per wheel = (vehicle weight + payload) / 4, multiplied by a factor for uneven floor (usually 1.2). We'll review your drawing and give a free recommendation. It's part of our expert advice.
