OMEGA Impact Absorbing • ADVANCED ELASTOMER High Abrasion, Low Rolling Resistance • PLASTEEL Cost Effective, Performance, Durability • THERMO Extreme Temperature

FEATURES

LOAD CAPACITY: 1000 to 3000 LBS
BEARINGS: Roller, Tapered
DESCRIPTION: The Omega Wheel is a patented non-pneumatic wheel developed for applications on plant casters. This polyurethane wheel achieves its load bearing capability and enhanced impact absorbing capabilities through a patented web/spoke structure. This structure is designed to buckle at deflections above a predescribed operating deflection. When the wheel encounters an obstacle, it deflects as it travels over the obstacle cushioning the load, and rebounds to its original shape after passing over the obstacle. Through the use of finite element analysis (FEA), the design has been optimized to carry high loads at high speeds.
BENEFITS:

• Noise reduction in comparison to standard polyurethane wheels.
• Will run at high speeds and not lose its bond.
• Does not require shear discs or springs to provide shock absorbing features.
• Will not pick up metal chips.
• Tested and engineered for 5 years.

FEATURES

LOAD CAPACITY: 400 to 1200 LBS
BEARINGS: Delrin, Roller, Ball
TEMPERATURE: -50ºF to 212ºF
DESCRIPTION: A custom compounded urethane elastomer that offers the highest abrasion resistance, maximum impact strength and lowest rolling resistance. The result is a wheel which is easy to roll under the heaviest loads, and guaranteed to outlast and outperform metal, rubber, plastic, phenolic, and even conventional solid urethane wheels. AE wheels resist nearly all chemicals, greases, oils, solvents, fuel oils, and other compounds which attack most molded plastic or common rubber wheels. And since the AE wheel is a completely solid elastomer, there is never a possibility of tread separation caused by bond failure between wheel tread and core.

The unique symmetrical hub design allows the AE wheel to withstand severe impact generated by extreme shock loading. It will not chip, crack, or chunk out like most polyolefin or phenolic wheels, nor will it "flat spot" under normal loads and temperatures. Good heat and cold resistance allows maximum performance within a wide temperature range. These qualities make the AE wheel the "Perfect Caster Wheel" in tough, demanding environments.

Announcing

The PLASTEEL Wheel
W.T. Hight is proud to bring you a new line of wheels that combine

• High Performance
• Durability
• Cost Effectiveness

These attributes are attained through the unique waffle design, specially blended, reinforced thermoplastic material and specific processing.

Other beneficial features are:

• Load Capacities of 650-1400 lbs.
• Operating Temperature Range of -20º-250º
• Durometer Rating of 65D

These new products are ideally suited for food processing, tool storage, sanitary maintenance and applications requiring easy mobility under heavy loads. They also resist water, chemical absorption and steam cleaning.

Extreme Temperature

Caster Wheels
If you're looking for a caster wheel to withstand extreme temperatures ...look no further! Introducing new Thermo wheels from W.T. Hight

Thermo wheels feature a standard operating temperature range from -70ºF (continuous service) to +525ºF (intermittent service, 475ºF continuous service).

These new models are molded in our wheel plant from an exclusive engineered resin compound that offers non-marking floor protection, near zero water absorption, high load capacities and long service life.
