In modern logistics, warehousing, and various industrial production processes, material transfer cart plays an important role. As one of the core components of transfer carts, the choice of wheel materials directly affects the cart's performance, service life, and applicable scenarios. Different wheel materials possess distinct physical properties and are suited to different applications. This article will help you understand the characteristics and application scope of three common wheel materials—polyurethane, rubber, and nylon—to assist you in making a more informed choice based on your actual needs.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Polyurethane material offers excellent elasticity, effectively absorbing vibrations and ensuring smoother and more stable operation of the electric transfer cart. Its wear resistance far exceeds that of rubber and nylon, significantly extending the wheel's service life. Additionally, polyurethane wheels operate almost noiselessly and are gentle on the ground, preventing scratches or damage. This material is also water-resistant and oil-resistant, making it ideal for environments with high requirements for quietness and floor protection.
Scope of Application:
Environments with high requirements for quietness and floor protection, such as hospitals, food factories, and warehouses.
Suitable for flat or slightly uneven indoor and outdoor floors, especially in environments requiring oil and water resistance.
Medium to heavy load material transfer scenarios.

Rubber material provides good elasticity and excellent shock absorption, making it suitable for use on uneven ground. It offers decent wear resistance, though its service life is not as long as that of polyurethane. Rubber wheels are relatively gentle on the ground, but prolonged use may cause wear. They are water-resistant but not oil-resistant and are prone to aging in oily environments.
Scope of Application:
Suitable for outdoor uneven ground, such as construction sites, warehouse exteriors, and parking lots.
Wet or slippery surfaces, such as rainy conditions or ramps.
Light to medium load material transfer scenarios.

Nylon material has moderate elasticity and relatively weak shock absorption, but it offers good wear resistance, making it suitable for use on flat ground. Nylon wheels operate with low noise and are gentle on the ground, though their high hardness may cause slight damage to certain surfaces. This material is water-resistant and oil-resistant but may deform under high temperatures.
Scope of Application:
Indoor flat or slightly uneven ground, especially in dry environments such as warehouses, workshops, supermarkets, and electronics factories.
Dry environments, suitable for projects with low cost requirements.
Light to medium load material transfer scenarios.
Not suitable for complex surfaces, such as ramps, slippery surfaces, or oily surfaces.

In practical applications, it is essential to consider factors such as the operating environment, load requirements, and cost budget to select the most suitable wheel material. Whether in hospitals, food factories, construction sites, or warehouses and workshops, choosing the right wheel material can provide a more efficient and reliable solution for material transfer.
By understanding the characteristics and applicable scope of these three wheel materials, we hope this article provides you with valuable guidance when selecting wheels for transfer carts.
