Is PU Forklift Wheel Suitable for Epoxy Floor

From the perspective of wear and noise, polyurethane forklift wheels are suitable for epoxy floors. But if the forklift is too heavy, there will also be a slight air bubble problem on the knife floor.

Features of Polyurethane Wheels

Polyurethane wheel has excellent strength, wear resistance, oil resistance, but also has good elasticity and shock absorption performance, so it is widely used in logistics equipment such as electric forklift.

Influence of Polyurethane Wheels on Epoxy Floor

• Degree of Wear 

Since polyurethane wheels are wear-resistant, the wear on epoxy flooring is relatively small when driving on the ground. However, if the electric forklift has a high driving density or a heavy load, the wear on the ground will be accelerated.

• Noise Problem

Due to the hardness of polyurethane wheels, electric forklifts will produce a certain amount of noise when rubbing against the ground when driving, which is not suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

• Bubble Problem

Due to the relatively hard nature of polyurethane wheels and other factors such as the ground structure, pressure is easily generated during driving, forming ground bubbles.

Countermeasures

• Maintenance Routine

In order to extend the service life of the floor, the floor needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly.
According to the use of the electric forklift, choose wheels with appropriate material, hardness and elasticity to minimize ground wear.

• Choosing the Right Wheels

According to the use of the electric forklift, choose wheels with appropriate material, hardness and elasticity to minimize ground wear.

• Enhanced Epoxy Floor Protection

Protective rollers, protective plates, etc. are laid on the ground to reduce the wear and impact of the wheels on the ground, thereby protecting the ground.

Conclusion

In the use of electric forklifts, the choice of polyurethane wheels will not have a greater impact on the epoxy floor, but in order to extend the service life of the ground, it is necessary to carry out regular cleaning and maintenance work on the ground, and take certain protective measures.
