Description
Custom Large Diameter Rubber Wheels with Rubber Coating for Platform Trucks
Our custom large diameter rubber wheels with rubber coating are manufactured by our China-based factory as a professional custom solution for platform trucks and industrial material handling applications. Each wheel combines a thick high-elasticity rubber layer vulcanized directly onto a heavy-duty steel core, providing superior shock absorption and floor protection when compared with cast iron or nylon alternatives. This construction noticeably reduces operating noise, lessens wear on both the wheel and the floor surface, and extends service intervals, directly helping you lower maintenance costs and downtime. As a top OEM/ODM manufacturer in China, we offer these heavy-duty wheels for sale at competitive wholesale pricing, with expert advice and full customization support for your specific market. Every wheel undergoes load and abrasion testing before shipment, backed by over 15 years of export experience.
Why Choose This Industrial-Grade Rubber Wheel?
Platform trucks in warehouses, factories, and outdoor yards need wheels that can handle heavy loads without damaging floors or slowing down operations. Our large-diameter rubber wheels are engineered for exactly these demands. The vulcanized rubber coating absorbs impact and vibration much more effectively than hard cast iron or nylon wheels, while the reinforced steel core maintains structural integrity under high stress. This combination delivers smoother operation, better protection for your floors, and a longer wheel life, resulting in fewer replacements and reduced total ownership cost. Our in-house test report confirms the rubber-to-steel bonding strength exceeds standard industrial requirements, and abrasion loss is significantly lower than conventional rubber compounds after repeated rolling cycles.

The properties above reflect the balanced performance of our custom rubber compound for platform truck wheels. If your operation involves frequent oil exposure or extreme temperatures, we can recommend an alternative elastomer formulation based on your specific conditions.
About Us
We operate a specialized factory in China focused on elastomer-coated wheels and rollers for over 15 years, serving customers in Europe, North America, Australia, and Southeast Asia with both standard products and full OEM/ODM/OBM services. Our factory covers 10,000 square meters and is equipped with modern vulcanizing, injection molding, and CNC machining lines, which gives us better control over quality, cost, and lead time. We hold ISO9001 certification, and our rubber wheels comply with REACH and RoHS requirements. For specific application needs, we can also provide test reports from our internal laboratory. Our team understands the specific demands of platform trucks, AGVs, and heavy material handling equipment, and we are committed to clear communication, honest delivery, and practical engineering support.
Factory & Equipment
Our production facility is designed to handle both small custom batches and large wholesale orders, with four 150-ton injection molding machines, two automated rubber mixing lines, and a complete CNC processing department for steel hubs. This integrated setup allows us to maintain strict control over quality, cost, and lead time for every order.
Production & Inventory Policy
Lead time: Actual delivery time is affected by raw material supply, production scheduling, and seasonal peaks. We provide our best estimated delivery date after order confirmation and keep you updated throughout the process.
Stock status: We usually do not keep large stock, but some popular regular items are in stock. Inventory levels change frequently with sales and production. We recommend contacting our sales team to confirm real-time availability before placing a bulk order.
Bulk & urgent orders: For large quantities or urgent requirements, please contact us in advance so we can arrange production capacity and plan accordingly. We will do our best to match your schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide custom sizes and rubber hardness for our platform trucks?
Yes, we specialize in custom solutions. You can choose wheel diameter, width, rubber hardness, and even the color of the rubber coating. Many of our customers in the material handling industry request a specific Shore A hardness to balance floor protection and load capacity, and we are happy to test and produce accordingly.
What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale?
Our standard MOQ is 10 pieces for this custom large diameter rubber wheel, but we are flexible depending on the model and custom requirements. If you have a new project, we recommend contacting us with your target order volume and we will provide a practical price suggestion.
How long does delivery take?
For standard sizes, our usual production time is about 15-20 working days after order confirmation. For fully customized wheels with special rubber compounds or hub designs, lead time may be around 25-30 days. The exact delivery date depends on material availability and current production schedule. We always confirm the actual timeframe with you before shipping.
How do you control quality during production?
We follow a strict quality control process: incoming material inspection, hardness and density tests, rubber-to-steel bonding tests, and a final visual inspection before packing. Our quality reports are available upon request. As an ISO9001 certified professional manufacturer in China, we treat quality assurance as the most important part of our work.
Can these wheels be used outdoors or on ramps?
Yes, the rubber compound we use is resistant to light oil, water, and everyday weather conditions. For frequent ramp use, we recommend choosing a wheel with a slightly harder rubber compound (Shore A 80°-85°) to avoid overheating during continuous braking. We can also add a reinforced hub design for extra safety under heavy loads.
Are your rubber wheels suitable for retrofitting existing platform trucks?
Most of the time, yes. Our wheel hub can be manufactured to match different axle sizes, bolt patterns, and mounting brackets. When you send us your current wheel drawing or measurements, we can provide a customized production proposal and confirm the exact fitment before manufacturing.
