Why You Should Buy Wheels with Polyurethane Tires

"PU" is the abbreviation for polyurethane. Polyurethane is a synthetic polymer and a particularly versatile plastic. Its flexibility is the reason why Rolko – your wheel manufacturer – has included polyurethane wheels in its range. Each type of wheel has its own advantages, from pneumatic wheels to our wheels with PU tyres.

Our polyurethane wheels are characterized by other important features:

  • Resilient material

  • Puncture resistance

  • Higher rolling resistance

  • Good shock absorption

  • Low maintenance required

  • Durability

  • Available in black and gray

As an alternative to our PU wheels, we also offer puncture-proof filling of pneumatic tires with RolkoSMART. Through the innovative use of soft-elastic polyurethane as a filling material, we transform conventional pneumatic tires into reliable and low-maintenance solutions. This technology prevents annoying flat tires, minimizes the risk of damage, and significantly increases break resistance.

Discover the Benefits of PU Wheels

The versatile properties of our PU wheels offer numerous compelling benefits. These arguments will help you easily convince your customers of the quality and performance of our polyurethane wheels:

  • Comfort and Safety: Polyurethane wheels are a useful tool in many areas due to their excellent shock absorption. The continuous, robust material in the tire also ensures that you don't have to worry about flat tires.

  • Flexibility: Equally relevant for many applications is the ability to easily adapt to different surfaces. Whether on smooth floors in warehouses or on uneven terrain outdoors – the elastic adaptability of our PU wheels ensures reliable, convincing performance.

  • Sizes and Rim Types: Not everything can fit a standard size, which is why our PU wheels are available in different sizes. You can also choose between different types of rims, including plastic and steel rims.

  • Efficiency and Reliability: With benefits like puncture resistance, durability, and low maintenance, you get long-lasting and efficient wheels for various purposes.

The Versatile Applications of Polyurethane Wheels

Our quality puncture-proof polyurethane wheels find application in a wide variety of industries:

Industry and Warehouse Logistics

Puncture-proof wheels are ideal for the safe and efficient transport of goods in various operational environments. PU wheels have proven particularly effective in equipping transport carts, sack trucks, and similar logistical equipment. Thanks to their sturdy construction, PU wheels also offer high operational safety and minimize the risk of failures. Their slip-resistant properties ensure reliable grip on different surfaces, thereby increasing workplace safety.

Garden and Landscaping

PU wheels also prove their worth in demanding gardening and landscaping, where they demonstrate their versatility. Specifically designed for uneven and soft terrain, these wheels offer optimal performance for wheelbarrows, sack trucks, and other mobile gardening equipment. Their robust construction ensures stability and longevity, even under challenging conditions. Another advantage of PU wheels is their high resistance to most chemicals, making them particularly suitable for use in environments where they come into contact with fertilizers and other typical gardening substances.

Cleaning Equipment and Building Dryers

Puncture-resistant PU wheels are also ideal for cleaning equipment and building dryers, as they are resistant to many cleaning agents. Moreover, they are gentle on various types of flooring and have puncture protection.

Particularly noteworthy are the gray, non-marking polyurethane wheels in our range. The special tire compound of our wheels minimizes abrasion on sensitive floor surfaces, helping to maintain the cleanliness of the environment.

Sports Equipment and Sports Field Needs

For mobile soccer goals and marking carts, PU wheels ensure reliable mobility on various surfaces such as grass, artificial turf, or cinder fields. Their robustness and puncture resistance enable easy movement of goals, significantly increasing flexibility during training and matches. For marking carts, the smooth-running and precise PU-

wheels also ensure exact line markings. Thanks to their resistance to moisture and many chemical substances, they are suitable for use with various marking paints.

Children's Play Vehicles

PU wheels are particularly effective in children's play vehicles and transport solutions for toddlers. For handcarts, they provide a stable and safe basis for excursions and outdoor activities. Their puncture resistance and smooth operation ensure comfortable transport even when fully loaded. For pedal vehicles, PU wheels offer optimal grip and easy maneuvering, supporting children's motor development. Their use in cribs is particularly noteworthy: Here, the robust PU wheels reliably support the weight of several children while allowing caregivers to easily push and steer. The smoothness of the wheels also ensures a pleasant and safe transport for the little ones.
