Plastic wheels from TENTE
TENTE supplies high-quality plastic wheels made of polyamide or polypropylene, for example. Heat-resistant plastic wheels are also included in our extensive range.
Plastic wheels usually have low roll resistance and are resistant to corrosion and many aggressive media. However, because of the hardness of the material, they can cause damage to the floor and develop higher running noise than wheels made of other materials.
In general, it can be said that larger wheels, lower loads and softer floors (such as carpets) diminish the operating noise. Plastic wheels can therefore be used on soft floors for lighter load with a high level of operating comfort. Certain TENTE wheels and casters made of plastic are washable and can therefore be used in areas where strict hygiene regulations apply, for example in hospitals.
Your experts for plastic wheels
The factors to consider when selecting a wheel are the load capacity, the wheel diameter, the type of bearing, the floor properties and any environmental influences. For high temperatures, for example, you need special heat-resistant plastic wheels. The properties of the various wheels can be found on the respective product pages. The data refers to standard test conditions, including level floors and temperatures within a given range. In environments that deviate from the test conditions, the exact properties, such as load capacity, will change.
