4" x 1-1/4" Polyolefin Wheel w/ Delrin Bearing - 2.00004.53

About This Wheel - 31GH40-03

Choose this 4-inch polyolefin wheel for a brewery or dairy cart that runs through constant washdown, the wheel that ignores the water, caustic, and sugar wash that rust steel and rot rubber.

A brewing or dairy floor is wet and chemically harsh all shift, and that is exactly where ordinary wheels fail: rubber swells and sours, and a greased steel bearing washes out. The molded polyolefin wheel has no rubber to absorb the wash and no steel to corrode, and the Delrin plain bearing needs no grease to flush away. The 1-1/4 inch tread carries a steady mid load on a 4-inch wheel that fits a standard cart. The ride is firm and non-marking, and it costs less than a polyurethane wheel of the same size.

Ideal applications

• Brewery transfer cart through constant floor washdown, wet tile
• Dairy or beverage rig exposed to caustic and sugar wash
• Wet-process cart where rubber sours and steel rusts

Skip this firm wheel if the load is heavy enough to want a roller bearing; the 4-inch roller polyolefin 41GE42-01 carries more.

Pairs with: a matching 4-inch caster fork to build a swivel or rigid caster, from the Caster Hardware collection.

Wrong fit? More load, or a wider tread? See the 4-inch roller polyolefin 41GE42-01 and the polyolefin wheel collection.

Also in this family: the 2-inch polyolefin 20GH20-03 and 5-inch delrin 41GH52-01, or the polyolefin wheel collection.
