Phenolic caster wheels are constructed from resin and macerated canvas, offering unparalleled durability and resistance to oil and chemicals. These characteristics make them well-suited for push/pull applications where reliability and longevity are paramount. The continuous wrap process of a phenolic wheel makes it a longer-wearing product that is more resistant to chipping and fraying.
Phenolic caster wheels also have a harder durometer compared to polyurethanes, which greatly improves their ergonomic properties and rollability.
High-temperature phenolic wheels and laminated phenolic wheels are also available. Laminated phenolic wheels feature a continuous wound tread with a macerated canvas center. They have a 40% higher impact resistance and can carry up to 25% higher loads than standard phenolic wheels.
Our phenolic casters are defined by their durability and ease of movement. Count on Caster Concepts to help you realize increased ROI through reduced ergonomic injuries, increased load size capabilities, and minimized caster replacements.
One key benefit of phenolic casters is their affordability without compromising on quality. Despite their cost-effectiveness, they boast high weight capacities, making them suitable for transporting heavy loads with ease. Additionally, phenolic wheels exhibit resistance to extreme temperatures and liquids, ensuring optimal performance even in challenging environments.
Bearings: Precision ball, delrin, straight roller and tapered.
Standard: All 1-1/2” and 2” wide wheels with 3/4” roller bearings are supplied with 1/2” spanner standard.
Phenolic wheels are excellent for waste bins, platform trucks, heavy material handling, autoclaves, baking ovens, curing ovens, and high-temperature bakery applications. However, they are not recommended for wet environments or areas with debris, as this can compromise their traction and durability.
