Economy TPE wheel

90kg capacity, 125mm diameter

Basic, fit-for-purpose wheel:

This entry-level supermarket wheel has been designed to pass minimum test standards at a price competitive with lower-quality imports. The tyre is 7mm thick and made from TPE.

Standard rubber wheel

100kg capacity, 125mm diameter

Designed to be optimal value for money:

With a single precision bearing, engineering grade polymers and a thick (17mm) natural rubber tyre (good abrasion resistance) this wheel offers great performance in shock absorption and abrasion resistance at a great price.

Premium rubber wheel

150kg capacity, 125mm diameter

The ultimate supermarket wheel:

This twin precision Q ball bearing wheel uses engineering grade polymers for the centre material with a thick (35mm) natural rubber tyre. The use of high grade rubber combined with the thickness reduces vibration and shock from being transferred through the trolley to the user.

PU tyre on nylon centre

100kg capacity, 125mm diameter

Not recommended – but very traditional:

PU wheels are widely used in supermarket applications due to the high-wear characteristics. However, we do not recommend this wheel because the wear characteristics are similar to our premium rubber wheel (MSQ125G) but the shock absorption and load capacity are much less with a much higher price.

Antistatic wheel

90kg capacity, 125mm diameter

Best-quality anti-static wheel:

This wheel uses a TPE tyre with integral non-marking antistatic carbon fibres.

Travellator wheel

60kg capacity, 125mm diameter

Best-quality travellator wheel:

This wheel uses high-strength, high-abrasion-resistance PU moulded over engineering-grade nylon. The grade of PU used is quality-critical since it is the perfect grade to both resist the tyres: splaying, bending and chipping. Quality is essential in this safety-critical application since poor-quality wheels could lead to injury or death.
