Conveyor & Transfer Systems

Omni wheels provide smooth multi-directional product flow on conveyor transfer tables, pallet transfer stations, and cross-belt sorters — enabling directional change without reorientation of the load.

Industrial Material Handling

Heavy-duty omni wheels support manual and powered trolleys, dock levellers, and multi-skate systems in manufacturing plants, reducing operator effort when manoeuvring heavy loads in confined spaces.

Medical & Cleanroom Equipment

Our polymer-construction omni wheels meet requirements for non-marking, low-particle environments in medical carts, hospital logistics robots, and cleanroom AGVs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between omni wheels and mecanum wheels?

Omni wheels have rollers mounted perpendicularly around the wheel circumference. They allow the wheel to slide freely sideways, making them suitable as passive support wheels or in configurations where 360° sliding movement is needed (such as a three-wheel kiwi drive). Mecanum wheels have rollers mounted at a 45° angle. When four mecanum wheels are driven independently, their combined force vectors produce true holonomic movement — forward, lateral, diagonal, or rotation in place — without the vehicle chassis needing to turn. Mecanum wheels are therefore the preferred choice for AGV and AMR drive systems requiring precise positioning.

What load capacity do your omnidirectional wheels support?

Our omni wheel range supports up to 500 kg per single wheel. Mecanum wheel sets are available up to 4,500 kg per set (four wheels). Heavy-duty configurations use steel hubs with polyurethane rollers and precision sealed bearings. Contact our engineering team with your load and duty cycle requirements for a specific recommendation.

Can you produce omnidirectional wheels to custom dimensions?

Yes. We manufacture custom omnidirectional wheels and mecanum wheels to OEM drawings. Common customisation requests include non-standard diameters, custom bore and keyway configurations, specific PU hardness ratings, anti-static or food-grade roller materials, and custom hub materials. Please submit your drawing or technical requirements via our enquiry form.

What floor surfaces are omnidirectional wheels suitable for?

Both omni wheels and mecanum wheels perform best on hard, flat, smooth surfaces: epoxy-coated concrete, polished stone, ceramic tile, and steel plate. They are not suitable for outdoor use, loose gravel, significant inclines, or surfaces with debris. For operations involving minor floor irregularities, larger diameter wheels (150 mm+) offer improved obstacle handling.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard catalogue items can be ordered from as low as 1 set for sampling purposes. Custom and OEM orders have a minimum of 50 sets (varies by specification). Sample lead time is typically 48–72 hours for in-stock standard items.

Do you provide technical support for integration?

Yes. Our team can advise on wheel selection, hub and bearing specification, mounting configurations, and drive system compatibility. We also supply CAD drawings (STEP / DXF) for qualified enquiries.

High Temperature Wheels Manufacturer | Heat Resistant Wheels for Industrial Applications

Standard wheels often fail when exposed to elevated temperatures for extended periods. Excessive heat can cause tread deformation, material degradation, bearing failure, and reduced load capacity, leading to costly downtime and maintenance.

As a professional manufacturer of industrial wheels and rollers, we provide high temperature wheels engineered for applications where conventional polyurethane and rubber wheels cannot perform reliably. Our solutions are designed for industrial environments requiring continuous operation under elevated temperatures, high loads, and harsh working conditions.

Whether you require wheels for ovens, heat treatment systems, kiln cars, autoclaves, or other thermal processing equipment, we can provide standard and custom-engineered solutions tailored to your operating conditions.

Why Standard Wheels Fail in High Temperature Applications

Most conventional industrial wheels are designed for ambient operating conditions. When exposed to excessive heat, they may experience:

• Tread softening and deformation

• Premature wear and cracking

• Reduced load-bearing performance

• Bearing lubricant breakdown

• Increased rolling resistance

• Wheel-to-core bond failure

Selecting the correct wheel material and bearing system is critical to maintaining equipment reliability and production efficiency.
