Polyurethane parts for material handling systems
Warehouses and processing centres also handle loads that do not roll. For metal coils held in storage or moved between lines, our polyurethane coil storage pads, saddles and cradles protect the finished surface where it rests. For rollers already in place, our polyurethane roller sleeves replace the contact surface alone.
Common wear challenges in material handling
-
Roller and wheel wear
High cycle counts wear through rubber wheels and rollers. PU alternatives last longer and protect floors from marking.
-
Conveyor belt tracking issues
Worn guide rollers cause belt tracking problems. Precision PU rollers maintain alignment and reduce belt damage.
-
Noise in warehouse operations
Steel and hard plastic components generate excessive noise. Polyurethane absorbs vibration and reduces noise levels.
-
Frequent part replacement
Standard wear parts fail often in 24/7 operations. PU components extend replacement intervals and reduce maintenance costs.

Questions about polyurethane in material handling
-
Do you offer non-marking wheels?
Yes. We have formulations that leave no marks on concrete, epoxy, and painted floors. Ideal for warehouses and food processing environments. -
Can PU rollers replace rubber in existing systems?
In most cases, yes. We can match the dimensions of your current rollers and improve performance with a PU formulation suited to your application. -
What load capacity can PU wheels handle?
Capacity depends on wheel diameter, hardness, speed, and operating temperature. Our engineers will calculate the right specs for your system.
