The main difference between the urethane travel wheel and the rubber travel wheel of a manually raised forklift is that the travel wheel is different in hardness and softness. Polyurethane travel wheels and rubber travel wheels are suitable for different needs in different industries.
The unique soft characteristics of the rubber travel wheels of manual forklifts are more suitable for strict requirements on the flatness of the ground, preventing the manual lifting of the forklift from reciprocating contact with the ground and crushing the ground during the process of moving and transporting heavy objects.
In addition, the rubber walking wheel is soft in texture and is more silent when moving. This type of manual hydraulic vehicle can be used in laboratories or scientific research rooms that require special requirements for indoor operating noise.
The rubber travel wheels of manual pallet trucks may be oxidized after using for a period of time. After oxidation, the surrounding material of the rubber wheel will appear sticky and slightly melted. However, the polyurethane wheel will only appear yellowish in color, but the material properties will not change.
Once the rubber travel wheel of the manual forklift is in a melted and sticky state, it will affect the normal use of the manual forklift, or the following two kinds of confusion will occur:
1. Wherever the hydraulic forklift moves heavy objects, it will leave traces of wheel rubber and dirty the ground.
2. Once the rubber travel wheel of the forklift is raised manually, the sticky state will inevitably affect the hardness of the manual forklift travel wheel.
The nylon travel wheels of manual forklifts have the following characteristics and advantages, which are well known by the public. In addition to manually raising the polyurethane travel wheels of forklifts, nylon travel wheels are widely used.
Nylon walking wheels have sufficient mechanical strength, high flexibility, and strong tensile and compressive properties. Smooth surface, low friction coefficient, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and strong fatigue resistance.
