Keep equipment rolling with BASF materials for industrial wheel & tire applications
Wheels and tires are taken for granted until they fail, and your equipment stops moving. Why take a chance on unproven, inferior materials? Compared to rubber, urethane elastomers are the material of choice when high load bearing weight, superior abrasion resistance and durability are necessary. BASF engineering plastics, polyurethane systems and thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) in your industrial wheel & tire applications can withstand increasingly higer dynamic loads and keep your equipment rolling.
Whether it is material selection, design considerations and optimizations, make prototype parts, or processing and testing, our best-in-class team of technical service representatives can assist from start to finish.
Proven materials in the harshest conditions
Superior dynamic performance combined with cut and tear resistance are requirements for industrial wheels & tires in distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. Typical wheel & tire applications where BASF materials exceed expectations when performance is needed the most are:
- Urethane wheels
- Fork-lift wheels
- Castors
- Rollers
