When choosing the material of the storage rack casters, PU (polyurethane) and rubber each have their own advantages and disadvantages, which need to be determined according to the usage scenario and requirements.
1. Characteristics of PU casters
1). Advantage:
Strong wear resistance
Good load-bearing capacity
Chemical/Oil Resistance:
2). Disadvantages:
Poor elasticity:
Low temperature hardening
2. Characteristics of rubber casters
1). Advantage:
Shock absorption and anti slip
Excellent noise reduction effect
Wide temperature adaptability
2). Disadvantages:
Weak wear resistance
Easy to age
2. How to choose?
1). PU casters:
Used for heavy-duty scenarios such as industry and warehouses.
The ground is flat but requires frequent movement (such as supermarket shelves).
An environment that is resistant to oil stains or chemicals is required.
2). Rubber casters:
Used in quiet places such as homes and offices.
The floor is smooth or requires protection (such as wooden flooring, marble).
High requirements for silence (such as hospitals and libraries).
Based on actual needs, PU is usually more practical in industrial scenarios and rubber is more suitable for home environments.
