Wondering what the best pallet jack load wheel is for your pallet jack or electric lift? There are 4 different types of pallet jack load wheels:
- Polyurethane (poly)
- Ultra-poly
- Nylon
- Steel Wheels
Load wheels for pallet jacks are below the forks and help ease loads onto the forks. Your work environment will determine which wheel will suit you best. Let's go over the different types of wheels.
Polyurethane
If you need wheels that won’t mark the floor much or at all, this wheel is best for you. Polyurethane wheels are ideal for display floors, carpeting, and warehouses as they also roll easily and quietly.
Ultra-poly
The ultra-poly load wheels have the same characteristics as the poly, but upgraded. They roll more easily and are longer lasting. Adding to the non-marking, the ultra-poly is hard and won’t shatter in the cold
Nylon
Nylon load wheels are harder wheels which are great for jobs in the cold. This material is best for environments that may cause corrosion or rust, such as in a seafood warehouse.
Steel Wheels
The steel wheels are not as quiet so are best in a place where noise is not an issue. If your environment will have a lot of debris on the ground, steel wheels are best for you.
There is not one type of pallet jack load wheel that is best because it depends on your use and where you will be using it. When it comes to pallet jack load wheel replacement, it is best to replace both at the same time. Check out our wheel kits for ease in replacing.
