Polyurethane-coated guide wheels play a vital role in ensuring smooth and precise maneuvering of electric stacker cranes. Electric stackers are essential pieces of equipment in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities, facilitating the safe and efficient movement of goods. In this context, polyurethane-coated guide wheels are increasingly recognized as the preferred choice due to their excellent durability, smooth performance, and versatile functionality.

What are polyurethane-coated guide wheels?
Polyurethane-coated guide wheels are wheels with a durable polyurethane layer applied to their surface. The core of the wheel can be made from materials like steel, aluminum, or nylon, while the outer layer consists of a high-performance polyurethane compound. This combination of materials results in a wheel that offers exceptional strength, flexibility, and wear resistance.Inelectric stackers, guide wheels are used to help navigate the vehicle smoothly, ensuring proper alignment and preventing damage to the stacker frame. Polyurethane-coated load wheels provide the perfect balance of load-bearingcapacity, shockabsorption, and smoothness, making them ideal for applications that require frequent starts, stops, and turns.
Why polyurethane for guide wheels?
• Durability and longevity
• Superior shock absorption
• Quiet operation
• High load-bearing capacity
• Resistance to chemicals and environmental factors
Applications of polyurethane-coated load guide wheels
Polyurethane-coated guide wheels are used in a wide range of applications where maneuverability, stability, and durability are essential. In electric stackers, they are typically employed to guide the movement of the vehicle along aisles, through doorways, and in tight spaces. Their ability to navigate uneven floors and absorb shocks makes them well-suited for environments where precision and control are critical.
Some of the most common applications of polyurethane-coated load guide wheels in electric stackers include:
• Warehouse and distribution centers
• Manufacturing facilities
• Cold storage and outdoor environments
• Logistics and shipping
