UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) wheels are made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene (UHMW-PE) and have many features, including:
- Durability: UHMW wheels are tough and can handle large loads and challenging conditions. They are resistant to chemicals, impact, and wear.
- Low friction: UHMW wheels roll easily and silently because of their low coefficient of friction.
- Non-marking: UHMW wheels won't mark delicate surfaces like painted walls or floors.
- Lightweight: UHMW wheels are lightweight, making them easy to install and handle.
- Corrosion-resistant: UHMW wheels are resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in hostile locations.
- Non-toxic: UHMW wheels are non-toxic, so they can be used in food processing machinery and packaging.
- UV protection: UHMW wheels are resistant to UV radiation, making them ideal for outdoor use.
UHMW wheels are molded under controlled temperature and pressure in close fitting molds. They are designed to perform well in a variety of applications, including transporting heavy machinery, industrial equipment, and material handling carts.
