Description
Custom High Load Polyurethane Wheels for Forklift Attachments – Heavy Duty PU Wheels with Steel or Cast Iron Core, Up to 5,000 kg Load, OEM/ODM Customization from a China Factory
Why Choose Our Forklift Attachment Polyurethane Wheels
Forklift attachments operate under constant heavy loads, frequent start-stop cycles and tough floor conditions, where a single wheel failure can halt an entire shift. That is why every high load polyurethane wheel we produce is built around three priorities: load safety, wear life and fit compatibility.
The polyurethane tread is bonded to a machined steel or cast iron core through a controlled casting process, so the bond resists separation even under shock loading and holds a clear advantage over glued or mechanically fastened alternatives. The higher tear strength and rebound resilience of our PU compound let the wheel absorb impact instead of cracking, which lowers replacement costs and unplanned downtime for your forklift fleet in warehouse, port and production environments.
Each production batch is tested for hardness consistency, bonding integrity and dynamic load performance, and full material certificates and dimensional inspection reports are available on request, so you can verify quality before the wheels reach your assembly line. With flexible OEM and ODM support, we match your existing drawings or develop a new profile from a sample, becoming a dependable single-source supplier for forklift attachment wheels.

Details Images – Construction and Application
The photos below show representative wheels and rollers from our production line, covering tread profiles, core bonding and surface finish. They illustrate the construction quality you can expect from a customized high-load wheel built in our China factory and the type of material handling applications these wheels are designed for.
Material Properties and Performance
Our polyurethane compound is selected and adjusted according to the load, speed and floor condition of each application. The table below summarizes typical performance values; exact figures are confirmed during sample testing.
| Property | Typical Value | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Shore A Hardness | 80 to 95 A | Tunable for grip or load bearing |
| Tensile Strength | 35 to 55 MPa | Resists tearing under heavy loads |
| Tear Strength | 60 to 110 kN/m | Prevents chunking and edge damage |
| Rebound Resilience | 40% to 60% | Absorbs shock and reduces vibration |
| Abrasion Loss | 20 to 45 mm³ | Longer service life on abrasive floors |
| Compression Set | Less than 25% | Maintains shape under continuous load |
Polyurethane gives the best overall balance of abrasion resistance, tear strength and load bearing for high load forklift attachment wheels, which translates directly into longer service life and fewer replacements. Custom hardness from Shore A 80° to 95° is available from our factory.
Who We Are – China Manufacturer of Forklift Attachment Polyurethane Wheels
About Us
Customers Visiting
We are a China-based factory specializing in the design and production of high-performance polyurethane wheels and rollers for industrial material handling. Since our founding, we have supplied custom wheels to equipment manufacturers, forklift attachment builders and replacement parts distributors across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Our in-house capabilities cover mold making, polyurethane casting, core machining, precision grinding and full dimensional inspection, which keeps quality control in our hands and shortens development cycles for custom projects. We work as an extension of your engineering team, offering practical suggestions on material and design to improve wheel life and lower total cost of ownership. Wholesale orders are welcome at competitive direct factory pricing.
Our production facility is equipped with CNC machining centers, automatic polyurethane casting lines, curing ovens and precision balancing equipment. Every wheel passes incoming material inspection, in-process dimensional checks and final performance verification before packing. We maintain an ISO 9001 certified quality management system, arrange third-party inspection on request and keep batch traceability records for every order, so material certificates and test reports can be retrieved quickly.
Factory and Equipment
From mold making and core machining to polyurethane casting, curing and dynamic balancing, the whole process runs under one roof in our China factory. That vertical integration is what allows us to hold tight tolerances on custom high load polyurethane wheels for forklift attachments and to keep lead times predictable for attachment builders and replacement parts distributors.

Stock status: We generally produce to order. A limited number of fast-moving standard sizes are kept in stock, and the actual quantity changes dynamically with sales and production. Please contact our service team to confirm real-time stock before placing an order.
Bulk and urgent orders: For large volume or urgent requirements, please discuss capacity and scheduling with us in advance. We will do our best to align with your timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions – High Load Polyurethane Wheels for Forklift Attachments
1. Can you customize polyurethane wheels for a specific forklift attachment model?
Yes. We regularly produce wheels matched to a customer’s drawing, sample or performance requirement. Please send us the wheel diameter, bore size, load per wheel and mounting details. Our engineering team will confirm feasibility and recommend the most suitable polyurethane hardness and core material for your attachment.
2. How does your polyurethane formula perform under high load compared with rubber wheels?
Our polyurethane compound offers higher load capacity, better abrasion resistance and lower rolling resistance than standard rubber. The cast bonding between tread and core prevents separation under shock loads, which is a common failure point in glued rubber wheels. For high-load forklift attachments, we typically recommend 90A to 95A hardness combined with a steel or cast iron core.
3. What is your minimum order quantity for custom high load polyurethane wheels?
MOQ depends on the wheel size and customization level. We support small trial orders so you can verify quality before scaling up, and we offer wholesale pricing for volume production. Please contact us with your specification for an accurate MOQ and quote.
4. What information do you need to provide a quotation?
To quote accurately, please share wheel diameter, width, bore or bearing type, load capacity per wheel, operating environment and expected order quantity. If you have a drawing or sample photo, that helps even more. Our team can then provide a professional price suggestion and delivery estimate.
5. How do you control quality during production?
We operate under an ISO 9001 quality management system. Incoming raw materials are inspected, polyurethane hardness and bonding are checked during casting, and finished wheels undergo dimensional and performance verification. Material certificates and inspection reports are available on request, and third-party inspection can be arranged.
6. What payment methods and shipping options do you accept?
We commonly accept T/T and other agreed payment terms for export orders. Shipping can be arranged by sea, air or express courier depending on volume and urgency. Our export team handles documentation and coordinates with your forwarder or recommends a reliable logistics solution for your destination.
7. Can this wheel be retrofitted on existing material handling equipment?
In most cases, yes. If your current wheel has a standard bore, keyway or bearing seat, we can match those dimensions in a custom polyurethane wheel. Send us the original wheel drawing or a clear photo with measurements, and we will confirm compatibility and suggest any design improvements for better performance.
8. Do you offer wholesale pricing for volume orders of forklift attachment wheels?
As a direct China factory, we price by specification and order quantity, so volume runs of our custom high load polyurethane wheels for forklift attachments are quoted more competitively than small trial lots. Share your annual or per-project demand and we will prepare a tailored wholesale quotation.
