Complete Polyurethane Wheels
Solid Polyurethane bonded to bespoke or standard wheel centres can be made to any specification. We can assist you with design and support with a wide a range of product tests to ensure your wheel works perfectly in its desired application.
Re-bonds
We offer a quick service supporting the refurbishment of your worn wheels & rollers, removing the old covering & recovering with the appropriate grade from our extensive Polyurethane range. Polyurethane typically lasts 3-4 times longer than solid rubber in a variety of applications, therefore it is also a great, cost effective and environmentally friendly way of refurbishing your wheels.
Press on Bands
Press on bands are typically used for forklift trucks. Polyurethane is cast onto a steel band, which can then be pressed onto a wheel centre, removing the old tyre in the process.

You may need something unique and we can cater for that too. We have a comprehensive in-house design service who always enjoy coming up with solutions for specific industry challenges. From run flat tyres through to lightweight wheels for tracked vehicles… whatever your need, we can tailor a bespoke solution to suit you.
