FAQs: Wheels
Why choose Caslad for industrial and commercial wheels?
Caslad offers one of the most extensive ranges of industrial and commercial wheels in South Africa, meaning you never have to compromise on the right fit for your equipment. Our comprehensive portfolio includes everything from heavy-duty cast-iron and high-load polyurethane wheels to shock-absorbing pneumatic tyres and specialised V-groove or flanged wheels. Whether you are replacing a worn pallet roller or upgrading your factory trolleys, we have the exact wheel to match your operational environment.
What types of standalone wheels does Caslad offer?
Caslad offers a comprehensive selection of wheels designed for various material-handling applications. Our portfolio includes polyurethane, nylon, cast iron, super elastic rubber (SER), and pneumatic wheels. Whether it’s for a lightweight office trolley or a heavy-duty industrial cart, we have the exact wheel to suit your equipment.
How do I choose the correct wheel material for my operations?
The correct material depends entirely on where and how the equipment will be used. If your trolleys operate outdoors or over uneven terrain, you will need Pneumatic wheels or our Aluminium-Centred Rubber Wheels (ITR Series) to absorb shocks. If your facility utilises guided tracks or rails, you require specialised V-Groove or Flanged wheels. For environments exposed to harsh chemicals, oils, or demanding washdowns, chemical-resistant wheels such as Polyurethane or Nylon are your most reliable choices to prevent wheel degradation.
What are the main benefits of polyurethane wheels?
Polyurethane wheels are incredibly popular in industrial settings because they offer the best of both worlds: the high load-bearing capacity of hard plastics or metals, combined with the floor protection and noise-reduction of rubber. They are highly resistant to wear, tearing, and common warehouse chemicals, making them a highly durable, non-damaging option.
Does Caslad sell pneumatic wheels?
Yes, we supply pneumatic (air-filled) wheels. These are specifically designed to absorb shocks and vibrations, making them the ideal choice for outdoor applications, uneven terrain, or environments with thresholds and debris. They are commonly used on sack trucks, platform trolleys, and agricultural equipment where a smooth ride is essential.
What load capacities can Caslad wheels safely support?
Because Caslad supplies equipment across a vast number of sectors in the South African market, our wheel range is engineered to accommodate a large spectrum of weight requirements. Our light-duty options, such as PVC spoked wheels or lawnmower wheels, comfortably support lighter, everyday loads. For heavy-duty industrial applications, we supply robust cast iron, nylon, and polyurethane wheels capable of safely supporting multi-ton loads in demanding warehouse, factory, and manufacturing environments.
