Product Image - Special Application Wheels

Trew has always been an innovative leader in designing special rubber and polyurethane tired industrial wheels. Although our wide selection of standard wheels satisfies most applications, many industries require specialized wheels.

The chart below provides summarized information on some of the problem-solving characteristics that can be provided with specialized treads and/or centers. Please call our sales department for more detailed information.
Also note that nearly any material that is machinable can be fashioned into a wheel but not all materials can have urethane or rubber bonded to them.

Design/Specification Changes

Extra Hard
Harder treads generally improve rollability and increase load bearing capacity. Available in rubber and urethane on all sizes.
Profile
Any tread profile or size can be molded (if quantity warrants), or machined after molding.
Extra Soft
Extra soft treads are needed for cushioned ride and/or greater grip.
V-Groove
Any size or configuration can be made into a V-groove wheel.
UV Resistant
Ultraviolet light is destructive to polyurethanes. Trew offers urethane with special inhibitors which give much greater life to UV-exposed wheels.
Debris Resistant
Special softer tread is available in all sizes and is remarkably resistant to picking up chips and debris.
Wet Applications
Urethanes specifically designed for wet applications including outdoors, mining and underwater.
Color
Trew offers three standard urethane colors in red, blue and green. Generally, any color is available on special order.
Hot Environments
Specialized rubber tread has a maximum working temperature of 300°F. Also, urethanes are available that are more suitable for somewhat higher temperatures than the standard 180°F maximum.
Rollability
Tread material has a very significant impact on rollability of a wheel. Trew offers several options with enhanced characteristics.
Laundry Equipment
Urethane specifically designed for the hot, wet, abusive conditions found in industrial laundry environments. Retread services available.
Non-Marking
All urethanes, regardless of color, are non-marking. Grey non-marking rubber is also available in all rubber sizes.
Low-Temperature
Very cold environments require special urethanes that do not become brittle. Call factory for details.
Encapsulated
Some extreme environments require encapsulating entire wheels with urethane. This process gives the rigidity of poly on iron but with solid poly protection.
