Drive Wheels

Drive Wheels Manufacturer | Polyurethane Drive Wheels for Industrial Applications


Drive wheels are critical components in material handling and industrial motion systems, providing the traction and torque required for equipment operation. High-quality polyurethane drive wheels are widely preferred due to their superior load capacity, wear resistance, and durability compared to conventional rubber wheels.

As a professional drive wheels manufacturer, we continuously optimize material systems and structural design to meet the performance requirements of modern industrial applications, including forklifts, AGV robots, and mining transport systems.


Key Advantages of Drive Wheels

  • High load capacity for heavy-duty industrial use

  • Excellent wear resistance with polyurethane tread systems (MDI / NDI / TDI)

  • Stable traction and low rolling resistance

  • Wide size range from 75 mm to 1000 mm

  • Custom hub designs and OEM configurations available


Drive Wheels Applications

Our drive wheels are widely used across multiple industries and equipment types:

  • Drive wheels for forklifts (electric forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers)

  • Drive wheels for AGV robots and automated mobile platforms

  • Drive wheels for mining monorail systems and underground transport

  • Drive wheels for industrial automation equipment

  • Drive wheels for warehouse and logistics systems

Each application requires specific load capacity, material formulation, and hub design. We support precise selection and customization based on your operating conditions.


Technical Overview

Material Options

  • Polyurethane (MDI / NDI / TDI / PPDI systems)

  • Rubber compounds (various hardness levels)

  • Nylon and hybrid materials

Performance Parameters

  • Hardness range: 60A – 97A

  • High load-bearing capacity (3–5× rubber in PU systems)

  • Optimized rolling resistance and traction

  • Resistance to abrasion, oil, and chemicals 


Custom Drive Wheels Solutions

As a specialized drive wheels manufacturer, we provide full customization:

  • Custom diameters (including large wheels over 500 mm)

  • Custom polyurethane formulations (hardness, resilience)

  • Hub design (steel, aluminum, cast iron)

  • Special structures for AGV, mining, and automation equipment

  • Small batch and large volume production


How to Choose the Right Drive Wheels

Selecting the correct drive wheels depends on several key factors:

  1. Load Capacity
    Confirm static and dynamic load requirements.

  2. Operating Environment
    Consider temperature, floor condition, and chemical exposure.

  3. Material Selection

    • Polyurethane for durability and heavy load

    • Rubber for shock absorption

  4. Wheel Dimensions
    Diameter, width, and tread design must match equipment requirements.

  5. Hub & Mounting Type
    Shaft size, keyway, bearings, or custom hub design.

Our engineering team can assist with technical selection to ensure optimal performance.
