Why call on us for castors?

Our Polyurethane re-coating service enables drive wheels, conveyor rollers and larger cast iron or forged steel wheels to be re-coated further extending their useful life cycle without the huge cost of new wheel/ Roller capital investment. Our standard Polyurethane recoat is done with a Durometer (hardness) measurement of Shore 95A. Other Durometer specifications can be met on request as can different grades and types of rubber. The process involves chemically peeling the remaining original Polyurethane and then sandblasting the metal core centre to ensure no contaminates remain. The wheel surface is then scored and a bonding agent applied. The polyurethane is then applied to your specification of thickness, durometer hardness, colour and camber. We also offer a design and custom manufacturing service to  produce specific wheels or drive rollers to suit unique or not “Off the shelf” requirements. We have the resources to manufacture to your CAD drawings or we will have our engineers work with your team to design and fabricate the correct wheel for your unique application. This could include pipe rollers, aviation ground equipment, mining or heavy materials handling, commercial scale construction, military vehicle maintenance or ship building applications
