Vulkollan polyurethane forklift wheel is revolutionizing the material handling industry with its exceptionally high elasticity and performance. Forklifts are crucial equipment for improving work efficiency in material handling, and the wheels, being the only part in direct contact with the ground, play a pivotal role. The material performance of forklift wheels directly impacts both the operational efficiency and the service life of the forklift. With the superior qualities of vulkollan, these wheels are setting new standards in durability, wear resistance, and overall performance in industrial forklift applications.

Vulkollan elastomer material

Vulkollan polyurethane elastomer is a prepolymer synthesized and manufactured from polyester polyol and naphthalene diisocyanate (ndi) under certain process conditions. Then mixing it with butanediol to undergo a cross-linking reaction. The proportions of the three components can produce elastomer materials with different performance levels.

High elasticity Vulkollan forklift wheel advantage

The excellent performance of vulkollan forklift wheels exceeds that of general rubber forklift wheels and steel forklift wheels. Under the same size, the load-bearing capacity of polyurethane solid tires is about 7 times that of natural rubber, and its service life is much longer than ordinary rubber tires or steel wheels. At the same time, it is full of high stability, short production cycle, high production efficiency, and few product defects.

Heavy-duty Vulkollan forklift wheel features

• Excellent wear resistance

• High tensile strength, tear resistance, and rebound capabilities

• Shock and sound-absorbing, with low heat build-up

• Remains elastic and shock-absorbing down to -40°c

• Superb mechanical load capacity and dynamic performance

• Vulkollan solid material wheel

Vulkollan forklift drive wheel applications

Vulkollan running wheels can be widely used in material handling fields such as logistics transportation systems, electric forklifts, and mining machinery. Especially in the application of logistics transportation systems represented by forklift production lines, they have an irreplaceable position. The vulkollan elastomer is resistant to different environments, such as chemicals, solvents, and even water. Compared to harder wheels such as nylon wheels, vulkollan wheels will deflect and create a larger footprint, thereby reducing stress concentration on the floor and improving ground protection.
